Can CBD be absorbed through the skin?

CBD binds to cannabinoid receptors in the body's endocannabinoid system, which is distributed throughout the body, including the skin. These receptors are used by topical CBD preparations (creams, ointments, and serums). CBD receptors are classified into two types: CBD1 and CBD2. Together, they allow CBD to impact virtually every other function in the body, such as the immunological, digestive, and nervous systems. CBD is administered directly absorbed via the skin, focusing on soothing tight muscles or overworked joints (compared to ingested alternatives which distribute the benefits throughout the full body). As a consequence, the application area receives the bulk of the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits, reducing swelling and assisting in recovery.

CBD is an antioxidant-rich substance; thus its anti-aging benefits are extensive. It may smooth, hydrate, and moisturize the skin while also treating wrinkles and fine lines. CBD stimulates the body's synthesis of vital ingredients such as elastin and collagen, which are necessary for decreasing and treating stretch marks and cellulite. CBD's anti-inflammation characteristics, which help reduce pain in muscles and joints, are also beneficial in treating skin ailments such as psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, acne, hyperpigmentation, and other issues associated with combination skin. Even better, CBD contains antifungal and antibacterial effects.

CBD oil applied in sublingual tablets is part of the oral or ingestible family, but it differs in that, like topicals, it also directly accesses the endocannabinoid system via receptors in the mouth and on the tongue. It avoids processing in this manner, although it still takes longer to experience the effects than topicals. Sublingual CBD has accessibility, which means it reaches the bloodstream. It has the greatest bioavailability of any CBD use.
