CBD (short for cannabidiol) is an active extract from the cannabis plant (also known as the hemp plant) that has recently become one of the biggest trends in the wellness and beauty space because of how versatile and potent it is. CBD comes in many forms and can be used in a variety of ways, both topically and internally. Common CBD products include supplements, often in capsule form, tinctures, pet edibles, skin care and self-care such as face masks and bath salts, and skin care (our favourite). A common misconception is that CBD is the same as marijuana, which it is not! CBD does not contain any psychoactive compounds and therefore will not get you high. On the contrary, CBD is known for its balancing effect on the body, mind and skin.
