Although the neuroactive properties of plants have been explored by humans for millennia, the actual scientific links have only recently been fully explored. One of the emerging areas of neurocosmetics focuses on the endocannabinoid system.
Ingredients like CBD directly access the newly explored biological system that expresses itself through the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The endocannabinoids naturally present in our body and the phytocannabinoids applied externally have a variety of applications and have an impact on the immune system, improving sleep quality, as well as reducing stress levels.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system based on endocannabinoids, which are endogenous lipid-based retrograde neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors (CBRs), and cannabinoid receptor proteins that are expressed throughout the central nervous system (including the brain) and the peripheral nervous system of vertebrates.
