Ingredient callouts
We are excited that this moisturizer contains Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.50% - 1.15%). 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.
Irritation risk
This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be high. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the
skin. This is why an additional
product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best
results).
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
