Cannabidiol (CBD) shows plenty of promise in topical skin care formulas. CBD is a natural, highly-effective anti-inflammatory as well as an emollient. It is said to be particularly useful for consumers with sensitive skin, inflammation, redness and dehydration. Experts say CBD provides the strongest anti-inflammatory protection, while fighting irritation and minimizing redness.
