Our bodies evolved to possess a web of continuous communication known as the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system works in unison to maintain the status quo. This entire system relies on cannabinoid receptors adhered to cells throughout the body.

The skin is our largest organ. It protects us from germs, toxins, and injuries. These heavy responsibilities require cannabinoid receptors to help regulate potential threats. Adding CBD into your skincare routine may help provide an overall balance.
