Well...what is it?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of more than a hundred cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, another well-known cannabinoid, CBD will not get you high. It has gained recent popularity due to the U.S. government easing restrictions on hemp in 2018, from which CBD is derived. No specific claims can be made on the benefits of CBD because of a lack of scientific testing due to regulations, though it is commonly used for inflammation reduction and stress relief. The FDA recently approved the first CBD medication, used to treat children suffering from seizures.

How does CBD work?

Like our nervous or immune systems, our endocannabinoid system (ECS) has a nuanced, important role in how our bodies and minds function. You can think of your ECS as the ultimate regulator, helping to maintain homeostasis while our bodies do their thing. It regulates everything from our mood, memory, pain sensations, inflammation, and even fertility.

Endocannabinoids are produced naturally by our bodies as needed and work by binding to our cannabinoid receptors to help maintain balanced systems. Similarly, plant cannabinoids (found in cannabis) also bind to our cannabinoid receptors, which is how they have an impact on our psychological and biological functions.

Due to decades of restrictions on hemp and other cannabis product in the U.S., research is still growing on CBD and its potential uses. CBD is believed to have an effect on our body’s endocannabinoid “tone,” increasing the presence of our naturally occurring endocannabinoids, increasing our ECS activity.

Where does Beboe Therapies get its CBD?

You’re asking the right questions. Due to the flood of CBD products on the market, it’s important that you only buy from trustworthy sources. Each batch of full spectrum CBD should be tested for purity and potency. The Beboe Family has garnered a reputation for the quality of our cannabis products, and we take the same stringent approach when sourcing our full spectrum CBD for Beboe Therapies. Our proprietary CBD is derived from hemp, and grown under registration by the Colorado Department of Agriculture.

What dose or potency is right for me?

Since CBD in skincare is applied and absorbed topically, we believe that it’s important that formulas are potent enough to have the intended effects, but at a level that’s balanced synergistically with the other plant actives in our formula. As such, our Serum contains 300mg CBD per jar, each Sheet Mask contains 50mg CBD per pouch. We think you’ll find that these are perfect for you.
