CannaSorb Topical

Today’s consumers are increasingly concerned with maintaining youthfulness. The anti-aging industry in the U.S. was valued at $63 billion in 2022 and is only forecasted to grow. 

 

While lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding unhealthy habits can help to keep the body and mind young, it is more challenging to maintain aesthetic youthfulness. Synergy Life Science’s CannaSorb ingredients are ideal for gentle and effective skincare products that help the skin maintain or reclaim a youthful radiance.

Four Signs of Visible Skin Aging

It’s necessary to isolate the specific concerns that consumers typically have regarding their aging skin when addressing the aesthetic signs of aging skin.

 

1. Changes in Skin Texture With Age

As skin ages, it loses some elasticity and integrity, leading to skin texture and overall appearance concerns. Wrinkles, fine lines, and a crepey appearance stem from the skin’s texture changing with age. Additionally, aging skin typically appears less plump and uniform, with a more uneven surface. Products that resurface, rejuvenate, and moisturize skin can help address these concerns. 

 

2. Aging and Skin Tone Variation

One of the most common contributors to mature-looking skin is a change in skin tone. Though this can be subtle and hard to pin down, many people report that their skin looks more matte and less luminous as they age. Emollient and brightening skincare products can support a youthful glow, but they must not contain ingredients that are too harsh for delicate aging skin.  

 

3. Hyperpigmentation and Age Spots

Both age spots and hyperpigmentation are telltale signs of aging skin and are often due in part to sun exposure. Individuals can take precautions by wearing SPF daily, but even with perfect sun protection, some hyperpigmentation and age spots are typical in aging skin. Again, skincare products intended to even the skin’s tone and reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation can be helpful, but they must be carefully formulated to avoid irritating mature skin.

 

4. Skin Aging and Dryness

Skin typically becomes dryer with age. Dry spots can be profoundly uncomfortable and contribute to an uneven skin tone or texture. Though lifelong moisturization can help to support healthy-looking skin, more mature skin and skin prone to dryness often need extra support. Dry, aging skin can typically benefit from light, daily emollients and intensive moisturizing treatments. 

 

How Can Cannabis Help Address Visible Signs of Aging?

Recent studies have shown that cannabis products may help to support healthy-looking, balanced skin. Many of the properties that cannabis possesses may also help to address concerns surrounding aging skin. 

 

Cannabis Ingredients for Skin Imperfections Due to Changing Hormones

For women, especially, aging tends to come with many hormonal changes. The hormonal shifts associated with menopause can cause acne, even for women who haven’t had a pimple in years. Studies have shown that cannabis extracts possess antibacterial properties that might help alleviate breakouts, though hormonal acne must be addressed on a deeper level to be eliminated. 

 

Synergy Life Science offers multiple ingredients that may help to support clear, blemish-free skin. Our proprietary CannaSol CB-D Ester triggers a total of 19 genetic pathways, including some that are indicated in acne regulation. This multifunctional ingredient is an excellent addition to anti-aging skincare products tailored to acne-prone skin. 

 

Novel Cannabinoid Compounds to Soothe Irritated Skin

The skin often becomes more sensitive and more prone to irritation as it ages. Cannabinoid compounds such as CBD have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, potentially helping to soothe the skin and alleviate visible signs of irritation, such as redness and blotchiness, that often affect mature skin. 

 

Synergy Life Science’s CannaSol CB-S and CB-D Esters both trigger genetic pathways that can help to address pain and inflammation. These multi-use, innovative cannabinoid compounds are excellent additions to skincare products intended to soothe aging skin. 

 

Moisturize Aging Skin with Innovative Cannabinoid Compounds

The skin often looks drier, less full, and duller as it ages. Deep moisturization can help to revitalize aging skin and keep skin looking younger. Cannabinoid compounds are profoundly moisturizing, replenishing skin’s moisture and contributing to a healthier and more youthful overall appearance.  

 

Synergy Life Science’s CannaSorb ingredients are active emollients, delivering powerful effects as they hydrate and protect the skin. CannaSorb CB-C, CannaSorb CB-S, and CannaSorb CB-D are all excellent for use in skincare products intended to address dryness in mature skin; the specific ingredient that is best for your product will depend on your consumers’ additional needs. 

 

Novel Cannabinoid Ingredients with Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Properties

Finally, some cannabinoid ingredients have been shown to have powerful antioxidant properties. These properties may help address multiple signs of aging at once, supporting the skin’s aesthetic and cellular wellness simultaneously. 

 

Synergy Life Science’s unique CannaSorb active esters harness this property, bringing your company one-of-a-kind ingredients to help your skincare products stand out. We have formulated Our CannaSol CB-C Ester to trigger 31 genetic pathways, including those involved in anti-aging and the long-term youthful appearance of skin.
