Okay, back to the science...
WHAT IS CANNABIDIOL?
Before we dive into the scrumptious world of lips, let’s first explore the wonderful, magical herb, aka the cannabis plant.
There are well over 100 phytocannabinoids present in cannabis, but the most commonly talked about and researched phytocannabinoids have been tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), amongst others.
The cannabis plant is a broad term hugging and including the hemp plants and marijuana plants. Think of cannabis as an ice cream cone and the marijuana plant is chocolate ice cream and hemp is vanilla ice cream - you can pick and choose which flavor you want, you know?
Apply that concept to CBD now. Cannabidiol can be derived from the hemp plant or the marijuana plant. CBD that is hemp-derived contains 0.00% THC, commonly referred to as a broad-spectrum CBD. However, CBD that is marijuana-derived may contain 0.3% THC or greater can be referred to as full-spectrum CBD (it depends on the extraction processes that do or don’t occur).
THC is a compound within the cannabis plant that creates a “euphoric” effect or “high” feeling. CBD, on the other hand, does not get you “stoned” or have you feeling “high”.
Anyways, CBD is much like the sprinkles that go on top of the ice cream - you’ve picked your cone (cannabis), you’ve picked your flavor (vanilla hemp or chocolate marijuana), and now you’re ready for all the sprinkles (CBD). Yum! Ready to reap the benefits?
Much like how you get ice cream all over the place - your face, your shirt, dripping down your hands, cooling your esophagus as it goes down into your intestines, not to mention, your lips are too covered in ice cream. How does it feel? Is it sticky and dry?
So remember that CBD ice cream cone we just talked about? Hold onto snack that below!
LIP BALM: AN OVERVIEW
What? How? Who even thought of this? Is this something we didn’t know we needed all along?
Before I answer that, let’s talk about lips first. Not sealed, ready to apply!
The lips are a central defining feature of our face, they look different than our surrounding facial skin. Similar to other features of your face, lips are affected by the aging process as well. Over time, your lips can become thin and flat, appearing “less attractive”.
CBD lip balms that enhance and effectively protect your lips are desirable agents for everyone, right? After all, who doesn't want to have soft, moisturized lips?
WHAT CAUSES RED, DRY, & CHAPPED LIPS?
Severely cracked lips or dry lips are usually caused by numerous factors:
- Exposure to environmental factors
As a result of poor and delicate skin function, lips are highly exposed to environmental effects, including sun, wind, smoking, and changes in temperature.
- Dehydration
If you aren't drinking enough water for your bodily functions to work smoothly, you may be dehydrated. Dehydration may occur also by excess alcohol consumption or drinking too much coffee.
The lips form an extension from our mucosal membrane to our outer skin. Lips have only a very thin layer of stratum corneum, low moisture capacity, and have poor skin barrier function, by nature.
According to Trookman and colleagues, the red coloration of lips is believed to result from a combination of translucency of the tissue and a decreased density of keratin, allowing the underlying capillaries to be observed. Hence, red lips.
These factors may cause the lips to become chapped, dry, and dull in their natural reddish color.
Nonetheless, topical products have emerged as a novel anti-aging agent, clinically showing decreased appearance of wrinkles and stimulation of collagen.
WHAT IS CBD INFUSED LIP BALM?
We’ve got a pretty stable basis now of lips and just how important they are to our face.
So tell me more about CBD infused lip butter already!
When using a chapstick or lip balm “spiked” with CBD, the cannabinoids work alongside other organic ingredients to moisturize your dry and damaged lips (beeswax helps too here, thanks to its anti inflammatory properties).
A triple-board certified dermatopathologist, Gretchen Frieling, MD, states, “With a well-made CBD chapstick, the CBD oil will seal moisture in your lips, preventing them from becoming dry or flaky.”
You can think of CBD chapstick as a topical lip balm. Much like how you can apply our other topical CBD products, such as Muscle & Joint Stick to your sore or injured areas, you can also apply the lip balm directly onto your dry and chapped lips. Simple!
CAN IT GET YOU HIGH?
Not likely. If the CBD chapstick is derived from the hemp plant it typically will have 0.00% THC. However, if the CBD is derived from a marijuana plant, it may have up to 0.0% - 0.3% THC. A very very minor trace, if so. Since CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, it won't get you "high."
Since all of Nanocraft's broad spectrum hemp seed oil is third-party tested to contain 0.0% THC, there is zero chance you will experience a high of any kind. Unless having healthy lips is something that usually makes you high.
HOW DOES CBD LIP BALM WORK?
Best CBD lip balms have antibacterial and antioxidant properties. They can help sensitive skin stabilize free radicals and better protect itself from elemental overexposure.
Ingredients matter. Does your chapstick have beeswax? Essential oils? Aloe vera? If you aren’t sure, I’ll take you chapstick shopping next time!
You want to have soft lips? Look for cannabidiol chapsticks that have natural ingredients, beaming with moisturizing properties and other benefits. We’ve got you covered. Essential oils? Check. Beeswax? Check. Pure CBD? Check. Sunscreen Protection Factor (SPF)? Check.
CBD is an all-natural, non-toxic compound that has been consistently shown, across clinical studies, to be widely considered safe, generally well-tolerated by animals and humans alike, with no reinforcing attributes, with anti-anxiety, anti-depressive symptoms, and pain reducing agents.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OUR CBD LIP BALM?
It’s the parts that made up the whole, right? Each ingredient matters, when you bake a cake, for instance, so the same should go for your chapstick.
In a general sense, CBD extract lip balm works to moisturize dried and damaged lips. So what else is in chapstick?
BEESWAX
Simply, beeswax comes from bees. The worker bees produce honeycombs of this wax in order to store the colony’s honey supply. Beeswax makes for a great base for lip balm because it’s a natural exfoliator as well as helping be a protective thin layer on the skin. Choose a Beeswax Lip Balm if you want to make your lips soft and smooth.
ALOE VERA
Aloe barbadensis, aloe vera, is a popular holistic medicine that has been around for centuries! The gel that is contained in the plant is one of the most beneficial and bioactive compounds, including being rich in vitamins, fatty acids, nutrients, and antioxidants.
It’s known for its antiseptic, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, helping treat broken skin and skin irritations.
BROAD SPECTRUM CBD
The wonderful thing about broad-spectrum CBD is that it contains 0.3% THC or less. You'll reap all the benefits of the cannabidiol without the possibility of feeling a "high" from THC.
Our high bioavailability, nanoemulsified Pure Broad Spectrum CBD is a great option for those looking for a THC-free option.
Check out our selection of CBD oil drops.
VITAMIN E
You can think of vitamin E as being an Enormous powerhouse antioxidant. From helping protect your body's healthy cells from damage to reducing free radical damage to slowing the aging process of your cells, vitamin E is stellar!
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), vitamin E is involved in immune function, cell signaling, and other metabolic processes.
Obviously, every chapstick may contain different ingredients, depending on their target flavors, textures, etc.
WHY IS CBD LIP BALM SO EFFECTIVE?
It would be nearly impossible to find a CBD lip balm that contained only CBD. Most skincare products need something called a carrier. Here at Nanocraft CBD, we take pride in only utilizing the most natural ingredients possible.
We have found that utilizing beeswax and coconut oil as our carriers enables the broad-spectrum CBD to be held in place, allowing you to maximize the absorption of your application.
HOW DOES NANOCRAFT CBD LIP BALM DIFFER FROM OTHERS?
Now to the juicy goodness: Nanocraft CBD Lip Balm.
Our chapstick contains broad-spectrum CBD, derived from phytocannabinoid-rich (PCR) hemp, providing with you antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial protection.
The CBD works alongside moisturizing ingredients and soothing botanicals to calm and hydrate your skin, so that you’ll reap the benefits in more ways than one.
Our CBD Lip Balm is made with natural beeswax, vitamin E, aloe vera, shea butter, cocoa butter, mint flavoring, unique terpenes, and not to mention 25 mg of calming broad-spectrum hemp oil.
Here are four reasons Nanocraft CBD’s Lip Balm stands out from others:
1. SOOTHING ESSENTIAL OILS AND CALMING HERBS
Unlike most lip balms, we include all natural ingredients because we only want the best for you! Soybean oil, sunflower oil, and hemp oil create a beautiful blend of flavors, with all the hydrating nutrients, to help make your lips healthy and beautiful.
2. MADE FROM ORGANICALLY GROWN HEMP
Every product Nanocraft creates starts with our natural proprietary strains of phytocannabinoid-rich hemp. All of the hemp we use is grown in nutrient-rich soil in Colorado. Our farmers operate under strict guidelines and use only 100% organic practices.
We take advantage of a state-of-the-art farming process. Not only does this enhance the quality of our natural proprietary strains, but it also ensures our products are safe, regulated, and unsurpassed in their potency and consistency.
3. THC REMOVAL AND REFINING
One of the most important steps in the process is to remove even the most minute traces of THC.
We use a proprietary technology to remove unwanted compounds still present in the oil. These compounds include wax, chlorophyll, plant pigments and trace amounts of THC. It is then “washed” and “polished” to create the highest quality, zero THC, broad-spectrum CBD oil available.
4. CONVENIENT ON THE GO SIZE
Nanocraft CBD Lip Balm is small, compact, and sleek in look. Customers rave over the convenient size and quick application. Not to forget to mention, the soothing, calming, minty taste!
