Cannabis Formulas Create Gentle Alternatives to Traditional Acne Treatments 

Many traditional acne treatments have the potential for unwanted side effects such as dryness, irritation, and increased sensitivity to the sun. These side effects can be even more severe for consumers with sensitive or reactive skin. Acne can be uncomfortable and embarrassing; additional skin irritation during treatment can worsen these factors for many consumers. 

Synergy Life Science’s hemp-derived ingredients offer an alternative to overly harsh acne treatments. Our active ingredients are patent-pending, tested for safety, nontoxic, and pending GRAS approval — and several of them show potential as gentle acne treatments that moisturize and protect while they soothe breakouts. 

Can Novel Cannabinoid Compounds Address Acne?

Hemp and hemp-derived ingredients have been touted as potential treatments for countless common conditions, but the efficacy of hemp ingredients in most situations has yet to be proven. However, there is research to suggest that hemp-derived ingredients could be beneficial in the treatment of acne, pimples, and breakouts.

How Cannabis Compound Research is Helping Control Acne

Cannabidiol, or CBD, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in research settings, showing potential for application in many different situations. Other recent studies have suggested that these anti-inflammatory properties could be helpful in soothing the discomfort, irritation, and inflammation caused by acne. 

Hemp-derived compounds, such as the ingredients formulated by Synergy Life Science, can be used topically in skincare products meant for acne-prone skin. Synergy Life Science’s CannaSol line is a series of several active esters that trigger genetic pathways with applicability ranging from acne control to anti-aging concerns. These active esters are suitable for both oil- and water-based systems, making them ideal for formulation into any conceivable type of topical acne product. 

Innovative Hemp Ingredients for Topical Acne Products

Synergy Life Science offers many different cannabinoid ingredients, each with unique use cases and benefits. CannaSol CB-D Ester, part of our CannaSol line, is especially well-suited for formulating products intended for acne-prone skin. 

CannaSol CB-D Ester is an excellent alternative for petrolatum and petroleum-based ingredients, as it is deeply moisturizing and protective. This active ester triggers 19 genetic pathways. It is ideal for use in products addressing many skin concerns, such as: 

• Acne regulation
