Myths, Stories & Inspiration
What is cannabis oil?
Cannabis is a very powerful herb with a very long history of medicinal use. According to historians, it has been cultivated in various regions of the world for thousands of years.
Cannabis or marijuana refers to the products derived from the cannabis sativa plant which are typically bred for their potent trichomes.
Cannabis oil is a powerful antiinflammatory and antioxidant. Topical application reduces pain where it arises, while internal routes increase the brain’s resistance to incoming pain signals. Arthritis sufferers are the most common topical cannabis users, although members have reported rapidly healing third degree burns, experienced relief from eczema, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and in one case cleared a poison oak rash.
The fat soluble cannabinoids, soaked in vegetable oil and strained of the plant bulk, create a simple and effective lotion.
Benefit of cannabis oil for skin.
While topical cannabis only minimally passes through the skin into the bloodstream, this doesn’t mean it’s ineffective.
Cannabinoids bind to cb1 and cb2 receptor sites in our bodies, which have been located in nerve fibres of the skin, skin cells (keratinocytes), cells of the hair follicles, sweat glands, and other cells present in the skin.
Cannabis oil can be applied topically to the skin in order to promote a healthy and glowing looking skin. When applied topically, cannabis oil can help stimulate the shedding of older and dead skin cells and promote the growth of new ones to replace them.
Cannabinoids can help promote the production of lipids which help fight chronic skin conditions including acne and psoriasis. It is also possible that cannabis oil can help prevent the signs of aging like wrinkles and skin spots and blemishes because it is high in natural antioxidants that help fight against cellular damage caused by free radicals.
By reducing the amount of stress that we feel, cannabis oil can also help prevent skin diseases that tend to break out during times of anxiety-like eczema or rosacea.

Moringa for skin care
- It boosts your skin’s natural collagen formation.
Moringa is remarkably high in vitamin c—having about seven times more than oranges. This is great news for your skin, which needs the vitamin to naturally produce collagen. Vitamin c helps boost collagen production and cell turnover. This supports the skin’s ability to self-repair and maintain its healthy youth
- Antioxidants like the ones in moringa help neutralise those free radicals that damage our skin cells. Essentially, these compounds help to put out the fires in our skin that would otherwise lead to skin aging
Shea butter benefits for skin.
Shea butter is a product extracted from the nuts of the shea tree that’s native to africa. It’s a fatty oil that exists in solid form at room temperature.
The shea tree bears fruits and inside the fruits are nuts that contain shea butter. In many cases, the nuts are crushed, boiled, and manipulated to extract pure shea butter. The butter comes as a light-colored fat.
The main ingredients of shea butter include oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid. These ingredients are absorbed into the skin quickly as the fat melts away at body temperature, where they offer moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and healing effects. Shea butter also has antimicrobial qualities and can be used to treat many ailments.
- It’s a moisturizing agent
Shea butter’s excellent moisturizing qualities are attributed to its fatty acid content, including palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, and oleic acid. When you apply shea butter on the skin, these oils are rapidly absorbed and act as a refatting agent within the skin. Refatting agents restore lipids and create moisture.
- It’s an antioxidant
Shea butter is rich in vitamins a and e, which are some of the best antioxidants. Antioxidants work by protecting your skin (and body) from free radicals associated with premature aging, dull-looking skin, and other health issues. This makes shea butter an excellent choice for anti-aging.
- Anti-inflammatory properties
Shea butter also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent solution for skin irritations caused by environmental factors such as dry weather and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and eczema. When applied to the skin, it triggers the release of cytokines and other inflammatory cells to slow their production.
- Antibacterial properties
Studies show that oral doses of shea butter on the skin can decrease antimicrobial activity in animals. Of course, further research is needed to determine the truth in this claim. However, people who’ve used topical applications of the product say it decreases the severity of acne – a bacterial infection.
- Anti-fungal properties
Further research is needed here too. However, preliminary findings show that shea butter can help the skin fight fungal infections. For instance, some people have successfully used the product to treat ringworms and athlete’s foot. Shea butter kills the fungi by obliterating the spores.
- Shea butter for cell regeneration
Your body constantly generates new skin cells while getting rid of dead skin cells. Indeed, studies show that the average human gets rid of up to 40,000 old skin cells each day. New skin cells are needed to replace the dead ones. Shea butter’s moisturizing and antioxidant qualities mean it can help with the generation of new skin cells.
- Shea butter for collagen production
Shea butter contains triterpenes, a naturally occurring chemical compound that deactivates collagen fiber destruction. As such, it can promote wound healing and general healing of skin injuries. Some studies also show that triterpenes also induce cell migration, cell proliferation, and collagen deposition. All these processes can boost skin health.
- It can prevent acne
Shea butter is rich in different fatty acids, which makes it an option for clearing excess skin oil (sebum). Additionally, the product restores moisture to the skin and has been shown to help lock moisture inside the epidermis so that the skin doesn’t dry out or feel stripped of oil.
- Shea butter for wrinkling
The collagen-preservation qualities of shea butter mean it can also slow down aging-related symptoms such as wrinkles and fine wrinkles. Studies show that it also reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles by boosting collagen production and promoting cell regeneration.
- Shea butter for stretch marks
Finally, shea butter can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Unrefined shea butter contains plenty of vitamins a and e, which are key ingredients in collagen production and skin elasticity. An easy way to diminish the appearance of stretch marks and scars is to rub unrefined shea butter on the skin area twice a day.
Other shea butter skin benefits
Shea butter can benefit the skin in at least a dozen other ways. For instance, it offers sun protection and can be effective against dandruff. It’s also recommended for eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis due to its soothing qualities.
