① Panthenol has moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and cell division stimulating effects.
② Allantoin promotes cell growth, accelerates wound healing, softens keratin protein, and has photoprotective, antibacterial, analgesic, and antioxidant properties.
③ Cannabidiol, a purely natural component extracted from the cannabis plant, has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is used to alleviate and assist in the treatment of typical symptoms of allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and sneezing.
CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical substance found in cannabis plants (specific varieties). After extensive research conducted over the past few decades and ultimately approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), it has been proven to be beneficial in treating various conditions ranging from skin acne, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, to even pain associated with heart disease and cancer, as well as sports injuries.
