Exploring CBD Suncare Products
Personal care product developers are increasingly turning to CBD as an ingredient in their skincare formulation. Suncare products are among the many formats now featuring CBD extracts. Understanding the potential of CBD in suncare formulations is valuable to developing premium, efficacious products.
What is the Research Saying About CBD Suncare Products?
Preliminary CBD research suggests that CBD may have beneficial effects when included in suncare products. A 2016 study from Pharmacological Research has found that CBD is an effective antioxidant. Research on antioxidant properties suggests CBD may contribute to the improvement of the skin’s ability to heal and regulate itself.
Many CBD enthusiasts are supporting the idea that CBD could also offer sun protection similar to SPF, although dermatologists remain skeptical due to a lack of research. It is possible that with further research, we will uncover more information regarding CBD and sun protection. In the meantime, CBD is being incorporated into sun care products for its antioxidant uses, supporting the skin to recover sun damage associated with sun exposure.
CBD Suncare Products are Already Arriving on the Market
Listed as one of the first of its kind, the CaniSun CBD-infused suncare brand brandcreates hemp-infused sunscreen and lip balms. They market their products as safe for the whole family and provide links to research studies.
Divios aims to create innovative CBD-infused sun and skincare products that protect, nourish, and restore. Their products are listed as ‘reef-safe’ since their ingredients are naturally biodegradable.
In a collaboration between Spyder Active and CBD Universe, Spyder launched a hemp-infused product line. Stated to be one of the first over-the-counter certified CBD sunscreen products, it is comprised of mineral elements and zinc.
