Arguably the must-have wellness ingredient of 2018, Cannabidiol, or CBD (a compound found in cannabis), has been making a lot of noise in the beauty industry. And it’s only set to intensify in 2019.
With a wealth of information, research and clinical trials all touting the seemingly endless benefits of regular CBD use, be it ingested or topically applied for its analgesic properties, there is enough evidence that proves this non-psychoactive strand of cannabis is also a heavy hitter when it comes to our beauty and wellbeing regimes.
It’s popping up in our face creams, our serums and in our food promising to soothe dry skin, get rid of troublesome pimples and even turn back the clock on ageing skin. This is due to CBD’s effect on our endocannabinoid system, its anti-inflammatory properties and because it’s full of vitamins A, D and E.
If you’re ready to dive head-first into the world of CBD, these are the three must-have products to get you started.

With products such as CBD gummies, vapes and oils, we’re hooked on Sun State’s CBD bath bombs, formulated especially to soothe aching muscles. After a 30-minute soak in the tub with one of these, it promises to have you feeling cooler and calmer.
What’s next for this untapped resource? Terpenes. Technically the part of the cannabis plant that gives it its distinctive smell, terpenes are much like an essential oil. Combined with CBD (and in lieu of THC) there is a tonne of research being carried out as to how the two can work harmoniously together, enhancing the benefits.
You heard it here first, the age of CBD is upon us.
