It doesn’t contain any other compounds that you find in a hemp plant. This form of CBD oil is best for facial skin as it's pure, doesn't clog pores and is packed with skin-rejuvenating antioxidants.

What is the difference between CBD and THC and how do they work in the body? Does CBD Oil get you high?

---

THC and CBD are cannabinoids that derive from the Cannabis Sativa species. However, each come in different concentrations depending on the plant you are using. Cannabinoids are similar to messengers we use in our own bodies (called endocannabinoids) which fit into specific receptors, the Cannabinoid receptors. There are two different kinds of receptors,

• CB 1 receptor, primarily in our brain and nervous system and plays a huge role in anxiolytic & pain control effects, as well in mental alteration.
• CB 2 receptor, is found in our skin & immune cells and sebaceous glands and it modulates inflammation, pain control and oil production.

THC primarily binds to the CB 1 receptor and has a psychotropic effect giving the euphoric “high” feeling. Whereas, CBD primarily binds to the CB 2 receptor and will never give the “high” feeling and is thought to work with other elements in the body, linked to feelings of well-being.

No. Cannabidiol is part of Hemp Oil, which you get from pressing the Hemp plant, but Hemp Oil does contains a plethora of beneficial ingredients for your skin.
