CBD has been credited with relieving numerous medical conditions, such as epilepsy, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia and pain. It should be noted that “credited” does not mean proven. Because of the historical regulatory landscape, there are few reputable studies backing up those claims, although research is expected to ramp up now that laws distinguish between hemp and marijuana.

Shea butter is a product of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). Shea butter is the fat extracted from the shea kernel. Shea nuts are a wild-growing, natural ingredient, which have been harvested and processed in West and East African countries for centuries—and harnessed globally for haircare and skincare uses.

With a myriad of therapeutic benefits for the skin, shea butter has been used for thousands of years. In addition to being an exceptional moisturizer, this all-natural ingredient has antioxidant, pro-aging and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and heal the skin.

Both full-spectrum CBD and CBD isolate are extracts from the cannabis plant. But even though they come from the same plant, there are still differences. Full-spectrum CBD products contain small amounts of other cannabinoids, like THC, as well as flavonoids and terpenes, which are beneficial compounds that provide unique scents and flavors. CBD isolate products go through further refining, so they only contain CBD.
