CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies, which includes receptors located throughout the body. These interactions can have anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-nausea effects, among others. The ECS plays a crucial role in regulating a range of physiological processes​​.

The purest form of CBD is isolated using CO2 extraction, which minimizes chemical contaminants. Another method involves infusing ground plant material in a carrier oil like olive oil. These methods ensure the extraction of pure CBD isolate​​.

In beauty products, CBD is first extracted and then mixed with a carrier oil. This blend is then incorporated into various cosmetics, lotions, and creams. The luxury beauty industry is increasingly using CBD for its potential skin benefits​​.

Industrial hemp, traditionally used for products like rope and clothing, now also serves as a source for CBD extract. By law, industrial hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis​​.

CBD isolate is a refined product that contains about 99% cannabidiol, with other hemp plant components removed. Whole plant hemp, in contrast, retains all properties of the hemp plant, including CBD, other cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, minerals, and phytonutrients​​.

CBD isolate is purely isolated CBD. Full-spectrum CBD products use the entire plant, containing a range of cannabinoids and often producing what is known as the "entourage effect," where the combined effect of different compounds is greater than the sum of their individual effects​​.

This system is a part of the body's nervous system and includes CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are primarily in the central nervous system and affect functions like mood, memory, and pain perception. CB2 receptors are mainly in the immune system and influence inflammation and immune response​​​​​​.

Phytocannabinoids are compounds found naturally in plants, with CBD being a prominent one in cannabis plants. Terpenes are aromatic oils in cannabis that provide its distinct flavor and scent. Each cannabis strain has its unique type and composition of terpenes​​​​.

Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids but have different effects. THC is psychoactive, causing the 'high' associated with marijuana, while CBD is non-psychoactive and does not induce a high. Both compounds have been extensively studied for their unique properties​​.

CBD is not considered addictive. In fact, studies have suggested it might help reduce nicotine cravings and treat opioid addiction disorders. Its non-addictive nature makes it a potential alternative for treating various conditions without the risk of dependency​​.
