From irritation and dryness to cracks that may appear in colder months, winter weather can impact the way your skin feels. A skincare product infused with CBD, like Papa & Barkley’s Releaf Body Oil or Releaf Repair Cream, is one way to bring nourishing plant-based ingredients into your routine. Using a full spectrum CBD infused skin product can be a way to combine the benefits of traditional skincare with whole plant botanicals.
CBD and Wintertime Skincare Routines
During the winter months, the air outside can turn cold and dry which makes the water in your skin evaporate much faster. This can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and possibly flaky.
Refresh your skincare routine and discover new ways to look and feel your best. CBD-infused products offer a simple way to introduce this plant-derived ingredient into your routine.
Formulated with Shea Butter and nourishing oils like Squalane, Jojoba, and Vitamin E, these products are designed to moisturize and leave skin feeling soft and hydrated.
The Role of Antioxidants in Skincare
Oils such as Jojoba, Vitamin E, Squalane, Mango Seed, and antioxidants like Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Lavender are included to add hydration and to promote comfort for your face and body throughout the winter.
How CBD Works Topically
Each one of us has an Endocannabinoid system (ECS) with two primary receptors (CB1 & CB2) that help regulate and balance our bodies. Researchers have explored how various cannabinoids interact with these receptors.
Our skincare line—the Releaf Body Lotion, Releaf Repair Cream, and Releaf Body Oil—delivers CBD via topical application. Topical CBD is designed to remain localized to the area where it is applied, offering a non-intoxicating option for your skincare regimen.
Many people note that topical products work quickly, and the effects may be felt for a few hours. When applied topically, CBD does not reach the bloodstream and effects are limited to the area where applied.
Creating a New Skincare Ritual
Releaf Body Lotion
Papa & Barkley’s Releaf Body Lotion features a formula with fresh-pressed THC-rich rosin and hydrating agents in Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, and Mango Seed Oil. Enjoy the clean, citrusy scent and smooth application that leaves skin feeling refreshed.
Releaf Repair Cream
Our CBD Releaf Repair Cream blends fresh-pressed Hemp Rosin with moisturizing agents in Squalane and Jojoba oil. Specifically formulated for the face and neck, this cream contains aromatic terpenes, is lightweight, and spreads smoothly on your skin.
Releaf Body Oil
Our Releaf Body Oil is a full spectrum oil made using a whole plant infusion process, formulated to glide on smoothly and absorb quickly for head-to-toe use. Made with Jojoba, Vitamin E, and a blend of essential oils, it’s a good choice for massage or for covering larger areas to support skin hydration.
