New research shows that an ointment made with CBD and CBG — two natural compounds found in cannabis — can help treat the symptoms of eczema. This could be a big step forward for people looking for safer, plant-based skin care options. Let’s take a closer look at what the study found and what it means for the future of cannabis-based medicine.
How CBD and CBG Are Changing Skincare
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. It affects millions of people, and for many, finding a treatment that works can be a frustrating journey.
Now, a new study suggests that cannabis might offer a powerful, natural solution. Researchers found that an ointment made with CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) helped improve eczema symptoms without causing side effects.
Both CBD and CBG are cannabinoids, which are natural compounds found in the cannabis plant. They are non-psychoactive, meaning they don’t make you feel “high.” Instead, they interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a big role in skin health, inflammation, and healing.
What the Study Showed
In the study, patients with eczema applied a CBD and CBG ointment directly to affected areas of their skin. The results were impressive:
- Less Itching: Many patients said their itching became much less severe.
- Reduced Redness: The ointment helped calm irritated skin and reduce redness.
- Better Skin Hydration: Patients noticed their skin felt softer, smoother, and better moisturized.
- No Major Side Effects: Unlike some prescription eczema treatments, the cannabis-based ointment did not cause burning, thinning of the skin, or other harmful side effects.
This study shows that cannabinoids like CBD and CBG could be a safe, gentle option for people looking to manage their eczema naturally.
Why Cannabis-Based Skincare Matters
At High Science, we believe cannabis has incredible potential beyond just recreational or traditional medical uses. Cannabis skincare is a fast-growing part of the industry because it offers natural solutions to common problems without the harsh chemicals found in many traditional products.
Here’s why CBD and CBG are gaining attention in skincare:
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Both cannabinoids help calm inflammation, which is a major cause of eczema flare-ups.
- Moisturizing Benefits: They can help keep skin hydrated and support the skin’s natural barrier.
- Antioxidant Protection: CBD and CBG help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stress.
More people are looking for clean, plant-based products that are gentle on sensitive skin — and cannabis is offering exciting new options.
The Future of Cannabis and Skin Health
This study adds to the growing body of research showing that cannabis compounds can do much more than we once thought. As cannabis laws continue to change and research expands, we can expect to see even more cannabis-based products hitting the market — not just for eczema, but for acne, aging, and overall skin wellness.
At High Science, we believe in the power of education, innovation, and responsibility. We’re excited to see cannabis leading the way in natural skincare, offering people new tools to feel better in their own skin.
