The phytocannabinoids obtained from hemp not only have a positive effect on the entire organism as a dietary supplement: they also develop their health-promoting effect when used externally. The phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) is a valuable component of skin care products for dry, chapped skin or skin prone to neurodermatitis. It reduces unwanted skin reactions by stabilizing the skin's immune system and making the skin more resistant to allergens, stimuli, bacteria or chemical substances that cause eczema. CBD also has anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects.
