What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is a general term that refers to skin patches that are darker than the surrounding area. Several factors can contribute to the formation of this common skin concern. Trauma to the skin, such as scrapes, pimples, or rashes can cause hyperpigmentation as they heal. Pregnancy, certain medications, and unprotected sun exposure can also contribute to hyperpigmentation. 

How to Combat Hyperpigmentation

Though there are treatments that can help make hyperpigmentation less visible, the best way to combat this condition is to take preventative measures. Protecting skin from the sun and using anti-acne products can help to keep hyperpigmentation from developing.

Skincare Ingredients for Hyperpigmentation

There are many conventional skincare ingredients and treatments meant to help minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation, but they are often overly harsh. Skincare acids, bleaches, and procedures such as resurfacing treatments can ultimately damage the skin, doing more harm than good and potentially causing even more hyperpigmentation. 

Novel Cannabinoid Compounds Can Help Combat Hyperpigmentation

Many consumers, especially those with sensitive or mature skin, seek alternatives to conventional hyperpigmentation treatments. Synergy Life Science offers innovative hemp-derived skincare ingredients that can help your company formulate products to target hyperpigmentation and protect the skin to prevent hyperpigmentation in the first place. 

Benefits of Topical Cannabis

Topical applications of cannabinoids, such as CBD, have gained popularity in recent years thanks to the host of potential benefits they can provide. 

Studies have shown that topical cannabinoid products, like those formulated with Synergy Life Science’s ingredients, can help alleviate inflammation, discomfort, and itchiness. 

Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD may help soothe acne. 

How Cannabinoids Can Alleviate Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is often caused by trauma and skin inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effects of topical cannabinoids can, therefore, help to minimize discomfort and may reduce the likelihood of hyperpigmentation. 

Innovative cannabinoid ingredients, like Synergy Life Science’s CannaSol line, also provide further benefits that can help to address hyperpigmentation. Multiple CannaSol products have natural sun protectant properties; unprotected sun exposure contributes to hyperpigmentation, so the SPF and UV boosters in CannaSol ingredients can help prevent sun-induced hyperpigmentation. Ingredients in Synergy Life Science’s CannaSol line have also been shown to help brighten skin, aid in acne regulation, and nourish skin cells — All effects that can help combat hyperpigmentation.
