Radiant Scrub

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the most well known of 100+ different phytochemicals found in the cannabis plant, known as phytocannabinoids. CBD is a sticky resin found concentrated in the trichomes of the hemp plant. Trichomes are glandular structures that protect the plant from heat and ultraviolet radiation. Both marijuana and hemp can contain CBD. Mowellens products are derived from hemp and are non-psychoactive, meaning they will not get you high.

CBD, hemp-derived CBD oil, hemp extract, and CBD oil are often used interchangeably in the industry, making it difficult to understand for the introductory consumer. All of the above matrices contain CBD oil. Hemp seed oil is different. Derived from hemp seeds (not the resin), hemp seed oil does not contain CBD, cannabidiol. Hemp seed oil is produced by cold pressing the seeds, and therefore hemp seed oil does not contain the same terpenes and cannabinoids. Our hemp extract is a full plant extraction, high in CBD, cannabidiol.

Terpenes are organic compounds found in all of earth’s flora, better known as aroma and taste molecules (for example, they make a lemon smell like a lemon). Cannabis sativa L. plants contain 120 identified terpene compounds but only a few of these substances appear in amounts substantial enough to be noteworthy. Like cannabinoids, terpenes exist within the resin or trichomes of the plant. They’ve already been used medicinally for centuries, and in recent years, researchers believe that terpenes are equally as therapeutic as CBD. The interaction between terpenes and cannabinoids produce unique synergies and properties. This is why CBD oils vary in how they work with your body. 

By using low extraction temperatures and cryoextraction techniques, we preserve the delicate terpenes and are able to craft potent profiles, consisting of various terpene molecules. This is another key differentiator of our products and why incredible results are achieved.

The many different cells contained in all three layers of skin, epidermis (outermost protective layer), dermis (second layer of nerves, capillaries, and oil glands), and hypodermis (deepest layer of fat, connective tissue, and water) work together in an intertwined and complex yet balanced neuro-immuno-endocrine network that is regulated by the endocannabinoid system (ECS). It is here the ECS engages in a homeostatic process called cutaneous cannabinoid (“c[ut]annabinoid”) signaling. This signaling mechanism promotes healthy skin renewal and barrier function.

A 2019 in vitro study by Italian scientists in Phytotherapy Research found that the anti-inflammatory impact of cannabis oil and in particular compounds other than CBD isolate, down regulated several genes involved in wound healing and skin inflammation. 

CBD is rich in antioxidant properties and is a naturally high source of vitamins A, D, E and essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6), which all work to enhance skin health and overall youthfulness.

A 2015 study, found that cannabidiol [CBD] exerted anti-acne effects by normalizing excessive sebaceous lipid production (sebum or oil), lessening the spread and alleviating inflammation.
