CBD (known as cannabidiol) is the non-intoxicating compound extracted from marijuana or hemp plants. CBD is extracted in the form of powder, and is usually mixed with an various types of oils including olive, coconut, or hemp oil, to increase the effectiveness of CBD in varied applications. CBD oil based products are comprised of various types of properties including, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin soothing. The presence of such outstanding properties in one single blend make CBD oil as one of the key components in skin care and personal care products. CBD is highly effective and safe for use on every skin type; however, its use is extremely high among those struggling with inflammatory conditions, sensitivity, dryness, and acne. In view of these appealing inflammatory properties, CBD is utilized for fostering skin's natural healing process, reducing the life span of eczema flare-ups as well as breakouts. Apart from this, it contains a host of antioxidant properties that curb signs of aging while also bringing down pain due to inflammatory skin conditions. A report from Market Research Future (MRFR) projects the CBD Skincare Products Market to touch an approximate valuation of USD 8.86 Billion by 2030. Also, the global market will continue to grow at rate of 5.50% from 2020 to 2030. The report said: "Alarming surge in pollution levels as well as extreme UV rays that cause skin burn and blackening and sometimes even skin cancer prompts consumers to purchase proven effective beauty and skincare products infused with CBD. Increasing knowledge about the latest products that cater to a particular skin issue also enhance the sales in the market. Companies are progressively joining hands with celebrities to endorse their products, while spending considerably on advertisements to garner the consumers' attention." Active Cannabis companies in the markets this week include Limitless X Inc. (OTCQB: BLAB), Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC), Sundial Growers Inc. (NASDAQ: SNDL), Cronos Group Inc.

The report continued: "Asia Pacific, being a relatively new market for CBD skincare products, has picked up quite a lot of steam over the years backed by the high number of skincare products brands based in Japan, China, Japan, and several South-East Asian nations. Continuous debates pertaining to easing the regulations for cannabis across multiple countries could ensure brighter prospects for the CBD skincare products industry in the region. Unhealthy dietary habits, air pollution and constant exposure to sun light as well as stress are some of the most common causes of bad skin conditions in the region. As a result, leading brands in the region are increasingly targeting these concerns and launching CBD infused skincare products that effectively counter these issues. Firms are also introducing products aimed at millennial as well as Gen Z consumers, who are highly focused on their physical appearance and grooming standards. North America has managed to procure the top position in the global market for CBD skincare products, especially since cannabis's legalization across 33 US states in the year 2018. Robust demand for these skincare products, combined with the extensive pool of established firms in the US adds to the regional market's strength. CBD skin care products enjoy massive demand among a huge customer base in the region, while marijuana's legalization in various states across Canada and the U.S. foster the sales as well. Encouraged by the legalization as well as the strong presence of renowned beauty care brands in the region, the CBD skincare products market is touted to cover substantial grounds in the coming years."
