Have you ever tried cannabis-infused skincare products? The trend is fairly recent, but absolutely booming. One of the leading brands on the market is High Beauty, with Hemp Seed Oil being their key ingredient. Find out more about the science behind the brand and their best-selling skincare in this post!

About High Beauty

High Beauty is one of the pioneering brands to formulate their whole skincare range with Hempseed oil as their key ingredient.

Brand founder Melissa Jochim has been fascinated by the incredible properties of Hemp, a powerful ingredient that has yet to have its full potential revealed.

Melissa and her team harnessed the benefits of this ingredient in skincare formulations that are vegan, cruelty-free and aimed to make you “feel beautiful in the skin you’re in at any age”.

The science behind High Beauty formulas

Biocanna™, High Beauty’s signature complex is found across their whole range. The main components of this highly powerful complex are Bioflavonoids and Terpenes. They are found in Cannabis (which is the hero ingredient) and in other plants as well. When combined together, they work in synergy and more efficiently than they would alone.

Bioflavonoids

Bioflavonoids are found in a variety of plants. They are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties and also maximise the benefits of Vitamin C.

The Bioflavonoids included in High Beauty formulas are:

• Red Grape which is an antibacterial

• Cranberry to balance sebum production

• Pomegranate to help protect from UV rays

• Broccoli which boosts collagen production

• Black Cumin Seed for its antibacterial and balancing properties

Terpenes

Terpenes are other compounds found in plants and give them their unique fragrance. From a skincare perspective, they provide anti-inflammatory and detoxifying benefits.

High Beauty uses Bergamot, Petitgrain and Melissa Officinalis in its Biocanna complex. They offer incredible skincare benefits and give the products their lovely fragrance.

To sum it up, the Biocanna complex combines Cannabis Sativa oil (hemp seed oil) with other ingredients containing bioflavonoids and terpenes. This complex has the ability to deliver the potent ingredients to various skin layers which maximises the benefits, and the results show on your skin.
