“Dr Kerklaan Natural CBD PMS Cream”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: cannabidiol - derived from extract or tincture or resin of cannabis

Product summary
"Dr Kerklaan Therapeutics - Dr Kerklaan Natural CBD PMS Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (theobroma cacao seed butter, butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil, helianthus annuus seed oil and cetyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (1.30% - 1.90%). 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 compouns in the cannabis plant. It does not have any psychotropic effects. When used topically, CBD can bind to skin cell receptors and "change their behaviour". It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also might be able to reduce acne.
