THE SCIENCE OF S•O•L

The Hemp Plant has been used by cultures around the world for thousands of years to prevent, treat, and beat hundreds of debilitating conditions and diseases. The secret to Hemp’s healing power is the MEDICINAL SUPER-MOLECULE it produces known as Cannabidiol (CBD).

CBD & YOUR BODY

CBD is an amazing healing compound naturally derived from the hemp plant and packed with vitamins, omegas, and essential fatty acids that are known to have beneficial impacts to the overall body, skin and hair.

CBD works with our body so effectively because the molecule has an identical composition to compounds our body produces naturally, called endo-cannabinoids. and our body’s own natural regulation system known as the Endo-Cannabinoid System (ECS).

Your Endo-Cannabinoid System controls the cellular communication between your mind and body and keeps your BODY IN OPTIMAL BALANCE allowing it to function at peak efficiency. Think of your ECS as the master messaging system between the brain and body which sends out chemical messages to trigger the need for biological actions. CBD acts as a natural SUPPLEMENT to the ECS, boosting it and having a positive overall effect on your health as a result.

Your ECS is critical to BALANCING and BOOSTING your body’s health. It regulates your physical, emotional and mental health and plays a crucial role in orchestrating most of your body’s functions and physiological processes such as pain, inflammation, stress, mood, sleep and memory.

S•O•L CBD SKIN CARE

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and is comprised of numerous ECS receptors. The same properties of CBD that provide healing for aches and pains are helpful as anti-aging, hydrating and anti-inflammatory in skin and body care.

S•O•L CBD Infused skincare products bring vital nutrients to your skin and can help with anti-aging, inflammation, pain-relief, acne and eczema. Studies have shown that cannabinoids are responsible for production of lipids, and thus play an important role in regulating and treating skin conditions. When applied topically to the skin, CBD stimulates activity in the body’s Endo-Cannabinoid System alongside reduction in free radical’s existence, which encourages the skin’s own response, encouraging repair and rejuvenation.

CBD also helps to increase the rate of absorption of other compounds into the skin, so that together with its own properties, the use of CBD in topical beauty products results in healthier, protected, more youthful-looking skin and makes it the ideal basis for our new ground-breaking, effective, S•O•L CBD SKINCARE SYSTEM.

S•O•L is REDEFINING ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE

A Powerful Anti-Aging Antioxidant

Antioxidants protect skin from Free Radicals (that come from UV rays, smoke, environmental pollutants, smog, alcohol and tobacco) which cause aging, cancer and impaired healing. Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that damage healthy, living cells through a process called oxidation. Oxidation is when free radicals essentially “feed” off healthy cells, which destroys the cells ability to function normally. When this occurs on the skin, it will lead to tissue damage and signs of aging.

CBD has been shown to be a STELLAR ANTIOXIDANT, capable of protecting the skin from free radicals and oxidization that contributes to wrinkles and fine lines. Studies show that CBD is a more potent antioxidant than VItamin E, Vitamin C & Omega3 EFAs, nutrients which have been hailed as the best antioxidants for many years. In fact, it’s so impressive that the U.S. government patented it, stating that “the antioxidant strength of CBD is significantly greater than that of either Vitamin C or Vitamin E.” The fact that it is such an effective antioxidant means it’s particularly useful in preventing and/or reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles all critical to YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN.

Anti-inflammatory

Scientist believe that the natural anti-inflammatory compound found in CBD could be the missing link to great skin care. CBD has been proven to be a powerful anti-inflammatory so it’s tailored to help in the fight against blemishes. This is why many people are using it for inflammatory skin conditions, which account for the most common skin problems today. There is also evidence that CBD helps regulate sebum production. This excess oil is another large factor in the formation of blemishes. Eczema, acne and psoriasis are all common skin conditions which cause inflammation of the skin. The fact that CBD can reduce inflammation makes it a powerful weapon against conditions such as these.

As free radicals cause oxidative stress and damage, the body will try to compensate and heal this by activating an inflammatory response, which causes more stress to the skin. This doesn’t only just occur in damaged cells, either. Many times, the inflammation will spread to surrounding healthy tissue. This type of inflammation degrades elastin and collagen, the two proteins your skin relies on to stay firm and free of fine lines and wrinkles. Studies continuously show the remarkable anti-inflammatory effects of CBD in muscles, joints, the brain, and the SKIN.

Anti-Bacterial

In addition to acting as an anti-inflammatory, studies show that CBD is a strong antibacterial. This means that it naturally fights and kills bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms that can cause skin infections. The skin is particularly sensitive to bacteria and skin conditions such as acne are largely caused by the presence of bacteria. CBD’s ability to tackle the bacteria head on makes it very effective at fighting acne and other similar conditions. 

Repairs Damaged Skin

Nothing ages us faster than the slowing down of skin cell turnover. When we are young, our skin cells slough off and rejuvenate at a healthy, rapid pace. As we age, the process slows down, which makes dead skin cells linger on our face and body longer than they should. When these dead and dying skin cells stay like that, they can accumulate into the natural lines on our skin, encouraging deeper wrinkles. Dead skin cells also make our skin appear dull and lifeless. CBD is used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis because it can balance out dysfunctional cell turnover and repair damaged skin cells.

Advanced Moisturizer

A quality moisturizer is absolutely essential in the race against aging skin. CBD is full of Omega 3 and 6, both important components of cell membranes on the skin and throughout the body. These Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) found in quality moisturizers increase the production of collagen in the skin, which is what keeps your skin firm and healthy. They also help keep the skin moisturized by creating a physical barrier on the epidermis, which decreases the amount of water lost through the top layer of the skin. With the added moisture retention and extra collagen production, your skin will look and feel younger, smoother, and healthier. 

No Side Effects

Risk factors should not be a concern for most people when considering the use of CBD products for health or beauty. CBD has no known serious side effects. Poor reactions to cannabinoids are rare, although it is possible to be sensitive or allergic to compounds found in cannabis.
