Cannabis has been considered an ancient form of medicine in indigenous cultures for centuries. It was considered a sacred herb like sage, calendula, and mugwort which all help relieve muscle pain and relax the body. Nowadays, Western society is embracing the use of cannabis, once an illegal drug it, CBD-infused beauty ingredients are the hottest products on the market. We’re not only seeing the changes in social and political circles, but this controversial plant’s key ingredient (CBD) is also crossing over from smaller indie beauty brands to mega cosmetic giants.
But first, we all know your wondering. Will these beauty products get you high? The answer is absolutely not. CBD is derived from hemp oil, which comes from the cannabis plant.
