CBD or cannabidiol and CBG or cannabigerol are prevalent cannabinoid compounds found in hemp and marijuana plants or varieties of the cannabis plant. CBD and CBG have beneficial attributes, and they work together synergically to enhance each other’s benefits. For example, both cannabinoids are known for analgesic effects. In addition, they offer significant wellness and cosmetic benefits when added together in one product.
There is growing interest and more scientific studies on CBD and another cannabis component, CBG. These are cannabinoids that have proven to prevent UV radiation from further aging skin. CBD and CBG also inhibit the effect of inflammation that increases aging.
CBG has similar effects to CBD, known for pain relief, hydration, and stress reduction. However, CBG is better for boosting focus, productivity, and cognition.
CBD is an acronym for cannabidiol and is one of the naturally abundant compounds in
hemp plants. Another naturally occurring compound abundant in the marijuana
plant is the primary psychoactive compound, THC. However, this compound is not found in skincare, and there is no “HIGH” associated with skincare.
CBD is an important component of medical marijuana and a popular natural remedy.
CBG is also a part of the hemp plant called cannabigerol. CBG has potent properties that help prevent skin aging due to UV radiation.
Together CBD and CBG can help prevent the growth of bacteria that cause blemishes, and both products brighten the skin and promote an even skin tone. Products also stop the inflammation that hastens age and protects skin from the damaging effects of cellular oxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS).
What is CBD?
CBD is a popular natural remedy that has become popular after many studies have emerged that show its benefits for generalized well-being and its anti-inflammatory properties. There are ongoing studies to help augment scientific research on CBD’s various wellness advantages.
CBD products are not FDA approved, and knowing about the origins of CBD is important. In the United States, there are mandated federal farming standards for growing legal, medical hemp. Therefore, it is thought that if the CBD in your favorite product is sourced from American-grown hemp, you can be assured you are getting high-quality CBD products.
CBD topical forms come as lotions, salves, balms, and creams infused with CBD. These topicals are designed for applying directly to your skin and contain other essential oils. CBD lotions are excellent for normal to dry skin. It is absorbed by the skin and will keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. CBD facial moisturizers are wonderful additions to a daily beauty routine. These moisturizers help balance your skin’s complexion and reduce dryness.
What is CBG?
CBG is another helpful cannabinoid called cannabigerol. CBG edibles increase energy levels, enhance productivity, relieve stress, and all without the high that comes from the THC compounds. CBG can also be an adjunctive treatment for physical and mental ailments. However, CBG is not so prevalent since it comes from young cannabis plants, which means CBG an “early-phase” cannabinoid.
CBG is non-psychoactive with similar features to CBD and THC, and it won’t get you high but produces a mild cognitive effect similar to THC. You might feel more in tune or focused without the highs or overstimulation.
Advantages of CBD and CBG
Anti-Inflammation
CBG and CBD can decrease inflammation caused by UV radiation and bacterial pathogens. Studies have reported that pretreatment of dermal fibroblasts with CBG or CBD was more helpful than vitamin C for preventing inflammation caused by sunlight.
Aging Prevention
Cannabinoids have protective properties, and these can be found in facial serums, facial moisturizers, face toners, facial cleansers, and facial masks and confirm that skin becomes rejuvenated and refreshed after four weeks of continual use.
Antioxidant
CBG and CBD have high antioxidant capacities than vitamin C. These compounds were more effective at preventing the development of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) within human dermal fibroblasts. ROS is the effect of cellular oxidation and biological free radical signaling molecules that harm the body and make you age faster.
Antibacterial
CBG and CBD have antibacterial properties that help fight blemishes without irritating the skin. These chemicals do this through two conduits that impede the inflammation caused by Curibactium acnes (a pathogen) and its growth. In this case, CBG is more effective than CBD.
Anti-melanogenesis
Acne scars and sun damage can cause excessive melanin in the skin. Proprietary research by many companies has discovered that CBG can enhance anti-melanogenesis and have some skin-brightening properties.
CBD and CBG are non-intoxicating cannabinoids found in cannabis Sativa. They are both naturally occurring hemp substances and share some of the same characteristics. However, they are different enough to offer unique benefits based on research.
