Product summary

"BOTA - CBD Calming & Shielding Daily Face Lotion" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. BOTA - CBD Calming & Shielding Daily Face Lotion ticks this box. Humectants in this product (algae extract, glycerin and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Algae extract, cannabis sativa seed oil, persea gratissima oil, theobroma cacao seed butter and cetearyl alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (3.50% - 5.20%). CBD is a new active in cosmetic products, and the studies on its effect in skin are still going on. CBD is one of the compounds in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behavior". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: lecithin
