CBD groceries and cosmetics: well-being in all its forms

 

Since 2018, and the authorization to sell cbd in France, a market as vast as it is vivacious has opened up. Driven by the search for alternative means capable of soothing the anxiety-inducing effects of an increasingly fast-paced life, in constant pursuit of perfection and profitability, CBD has invaded the "well-being" space.

 

In creams, capsules, infusions or oil, CBD is now available in a wide range of elaborate products. There are special formulas to help you fall asleep, regulate stress or relax, or recuperate after sport and relieve joint and muscle pain.


Let's take a look at all that cbd has to offer and the many forms in which it is available.

 

CBD oils

Let's start with the most obvious: CBD oils. If you're a consumer, or even a bit of a connoisseur, it's quite possible that CBD oils already hold no secrets for you.
If not, you should know that CBD oils consist of a neutral oil (often coconut or hazelnut, but any oil can be used), to which CBD is added in the form of an isolate.
CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, often by processes such as supercritical CO₂ or solvent extraction, to obtain a pure or full-spectrum CBD isolate, before being added to the oil.Typically CBD makes up between 5% and 30% of the total product.

 

But alongside pure or full spectrum oils, there are oils with more complex formulas. These oils combine CBD with the active ingredients of other elements, increasing their effects tenfold:

  • CBD + Melatonin + Passionflower to improve sleep and reduce anxiety before bedtime.
  • CBD + Turmeric + Collagen + Boswellia to support joint health and reduce pain and inflammation.
  • CBD + Ashwagandha to reduce stress and promote a stable emotional balance.
  • CBD + Vitamin C + Zinc to boost the immune system.
  • CBD + Ginkgo Biloba to improve concentration and mental clarity.
  • CBD + B vitamins (B6, B12) to support nerve function and reduce fatigue.
  • CBD + Omega-3 to promote heart health and improve emotional balance.
  • CBD + Magnesium for muscle relaxation and reduction of nervous tension.
  • CBD + Probiotics for digestive support and reinforcement of intestinal flora.

These oils can be taken sublingually (a few drops under the tongue) or applied to the skin. To be sure of the recommended use, please refer to the product instructions before purchasing.

The CBD oils can be the basis of many benefits. If you'd like to learn more about these effects and dosage, we recommend you read our article on the subject.

CBD Capsules

Capsules are often preferred for simple, convenient and discreet everyday use. Designed for a fast, effective effect, each capsule contains a precise dose of CBD.

 

With their easy-to-swallow envelope, they offer a major difference from oils: they have no taste. It's also one of the best forms for those with allergies or intolerances to various oils.

Like oils, they are available in enriched formulas for greater effect and specific use:

  • CBD + CBG + Melatonin for deep, restful sleep
  • CBD + Ginger + Turmeric to improve joint and muscle comfort
  • CBD + Rhodiola + Lemon balm in an anti-stress formula developed to help you relax
  • Full-spectrum CBD + Basil + Rhodiola to combat migraines and persistent pain
  • Etc.

There is a wide variety of formulas and desired effects. Some capsules are formulated to soothe menstrual pain, reduce acne or even boost libido. As with oils, different combinations are designed to maximize every CBD benefit, and there are many!

Gummies, honey chocolate: cbd in food

This paragraph is for those of us with a sweet tooth, and we know they're just as numerous as the benefits of CBD!

 

That's why there are huge ranges of edibles enriched with CBD. These edibles also use the virtues of CBD by combining them with the benefits of foods such as honey or chocolate. In this way, these products combine indulgence with the beneficial effects of CBD, boosting overall well-being.

CBD Honeys

A grandmother's remedy par excellence, honey is renowned for its many virtues, many of which resonate with those of CBD.

We know that honey is antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. It has a positive effect on the immune system, helping to fight coughs and sore throats, improve digestion, combat fatigue and promote restful sleep.


CBD, on the other hand, has a :

  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Analgesic
  • Antioxidant
  • Promotes deep sleep and helps you fall asleep
  • Beneficial for immunity and general well-being

In short, the benefits of honey and CBD combine in a super food, perfect for escaping the monotony of winter and the first signs of fatigue due to cold and colds! For added indulgence and even more benefits, add CBD honey to your thyme or linden herbal tea!

Chocolate with CBD

It may be less well known, but chocolate isn't just a food that most people enjoy. There's a reason why so many people love it. Chocolate has the ability to stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonins, two neurotransmitters associated with pleasure and relaxation.

 

What's more, it contains substances like phenylethylamine, often referred to as the "love molecule", which can also induce sensations of pleasure and well-being.

 

This property provides a subtle sensation of well-being, which contributes to chocolate's success. But that's not all: chocolate is rich in antioxidants, so it helps reduce the risk of premature ageing, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.

 

It also has beneficial properties for cardiovascular health. Indeed, the flavonoids present in dark chocolate help to improve blood circulation, lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation of the blood vessels. They also promote the production of nitric oxide, which helps relax and dilate arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease.

 

With these effects, combined with those known to CBD, CBD chocolates are the perfect products to keep you smiling and in a good mood, all day long.

CBD gummies and candies

For those who are still big kids, gummies and other cbd candies are the best way to spend a pleasant Halloween evening, or a day chilling out in front of the console, a TV series, or simply to treat yourself.

 

Caramel, jelly candy, chewing gum... they come in all flavours, tastes and shapes.

Unlike honey or chocolate, candies don't have any beneficial effects as such, but they may contain various cannabinoids that enhance the effect of CBD. For example, you can find CBD + THC candies for maximum relaxation. Or CBD + Muscimol for adventurers on the trail of the legendary effects of magic mushrooms.

 

But as with other products, it's important to remember not to over-indulge in sweets. Ingestion causes an effect that can last up to 8 hours. If you've already eaten a candy, don't feel any effect and are tempted to take a second one, restrain yourself. To avoid any unpleasant surprises, it's best to wait until the following day, and if no effect is felt, increase the dose by one candy.

 

Cosmetics, for beauty and well-being

Alongside food products, oils and capsules, there are cosmetic products, more specifically grouped in the topical care category. This category includes all products to be applied to the skin. As you may have guessed, the oils we mentioned, those to be applied to the skin, could also be grouped under topical care.

 

Here again, the benefits of CBD have inspired a huge number of formulas for a wide variety of applications.

CBD anti-aging cream

As you know, anti-ageing creams are one of the flagship products of cosmetics laboratories. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, CBD works in synergy with various ingredients to soothe irritation and protect against external aggression.

Among the various products that can be associated with CBD within anti-aging creams, there are well-known products such as:

  • Hyaluronic Acid maintains hydration and plumps skin.
  • Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps slow skin ageing
  • Retinol, which stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles.
  • Various plant extracts such as aloe vera, rose hip and green tea further enhance the effects already mentioned.

Thanks to CBD anti-aging creams, skin looks smoother, brighter and more hydrated.

Warming Balm and Gel for joints and muscles with CBD

There are all kinds of balms (the most famous being Tiger Balm) and other creams and gels to relieve muscles and joints.

Those with CBD, combine the many effects of CBD, in particular the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; with ingredients with warming or cooling and also anti-inflammatory effects.

 

Together, the ingredients in these creams help reduce inflammation and muscle and joint pain thanks to their relaxing properties. Heating or cooling effects provide immediate relief and reinforce the relaxing effect. Together, they provide a soothing sensation and faster muscle recovery.

Lotion and milk for CBD skin care

In a sense, skin care lotions and milks are quite similar to anti-aging creams. These products combine the effects of CBD and other ingredients to nourish and soothe the skin in the face of external aggressions.

 

CBD is combined with shea, coconut and sweet almond oils, vitamin E and other plant extracts in formulas designed to maintain optimal hydration and soothe irritation. As a result, skin is protected and moisturized, and feels softer to the touch, providing long-lasting comfort.

CBD slimming gel

Another flagship product of pharmaceutical workshops, slimming and firming creams are multiplying on the shelves of parapharmacies. They generally contain caffeine, which stimulates blood circulation and helps break down superfluous fat cells; L-carnitine, an amino acid that promotes fat burning and improves skin firmness; and various plant extracts such as guarana, green tea or seaweed, which reinforce the stimulating, detoxifying and antioxidant effects.

 

CBD will provide or accentuate the anti-inflammatory effect and help reduce water retention, while also providing a sensation of freshness and lightness. Combined with the other ingredients, CBD helps refine skin texture, giving a smoother, firmer appearance.

Conclusion

The aim of this article is to offer you a brief overview of the diversity of CBD-based products available on the market, and to give you a glimpse of the power of this molecule on well-being in general.

 

Far from being exhaustive, this list is astonishing in the diversity of forms and applications to which CBD can lend itself. But if you'd like to learn more about each category and product, don't worry: we'll be devoting future articles to focusing on each of them, and you'll see that there's still plenty to talk about!

 

Until then, keep exploring the wonderful world of cannabinoids on our blog and be well!

On June 12, 2023, the agency responsible for regulating chemical molecules, the ASM, called for a ban on HHC and some of its derivatives. The reason? The possibility of addiction and dependence among consumers. Following this ban, new synthetic and semi-synthetic molecules (THCV, THCP, THCPO...) were [...].

"CBG9" is the name of a new molecule that's been making more and more noise since the banning of CBD derivatives from the Benzochromene group; THCP, HHCPO and Other THCJD. Cannabigerol-9, to give it its full name, is a recently-discovered natural secondary cannabinoid, which claims to be "promising" and "highly potent".

The decision came down on the morning of Friday May 24: all products containing H4CBD, H2CBD, HHCPO, THCP, THCA and other derivatives will be banned and placed on the list of narcotics. This new ban follows on from the one imposed almost a year ago [...].
