The Good 

Skin is your body’s largest and fastest-growing organ, but it is also nature’s effective three layer barrier against harmful UV rays, chemicals, toxins, bacteria, cold and moisture loss. 

The Bad 

Throughout your life, your skin must stand up to many forms of abuse. Unfortunately over time this leads to a decline in its natural ability to replenish and recover against aging and environmental factors! Your skin’s barrier normally provides protection against penetration and absorption of harmful chemicals and exposure, but the effectiveness of this process continues to weaken as you age.

Large corporate skin care companies spend millions on marketing to get you to believe that their wellness and anti-aging products are safe and effective, side-stepping regulations as much as they can. But, these products do not necessarily go through rigorous and verified third party, full-panel, certified testing to prove safety, not in the way you’d hope!

Consider the fact that many of these products once thought as safe are being discovered every day as being toxic in many ways (e.g. the recent instances of cancerous baby powder recall and widespread cancer-causing sun screen problems brought to light). Scary!

The majority of these corporate skincare companies use unnatural synthetic carriers that will penetrate the upper layer of skin, the stratum cernuum, to deliver more chemicals to be absorbed into the second layer of your skin (epidermis) EPI. 

These synthetic carriers are problematic because they often alter the skin’s natural methods of protection. They deliver hazardous chemicals to be absorbed in the epidermis and then your blood stream. What chemicals are being transmitted into your skin, then blood stream and then to the rest of your body? These companies don’t even HAVE to tell you… and that should terrify you. Unknown, untested, unregulated chemicals being absorbed through your skin, with repeated instances of toxic chemicals being found in formerly “safe” skincare products. This should terrify you.

Have you ever wondered why your skin seems to crave more and more of the large corporate skincare products after using them? Is this intentional? That product promising moisturizing results? It only feels like it’s providing moisture, but the harsh synthetic chemicals in the product instead dry out your skin, or just coat your outer layer of skin. This means you continue the cycle of needing more of that product, over and over. It’s a clear sign that your skin care regiment needs a natural, safe and effective natural alternative.

The Truth 

Beware of complex and likely toxic synthetic chemical combinations. Forget the latest fads! Luckily, third-party testing and studies have started to reveal the nasty truth behind the large corporate skincare products… 

Recent scientific studies have also shown that Mother Nature herself provides safe, natural and effective botanicals that penetrate, repair, replenish and restore your skin!

Science has proven that a handful of simple, natural products are extremely effective at safely delivering proven natural nutrients that deliver anti-aging and skin replenishing benefits. Check out this study at the National Institutes of Health: Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol (CBD) for Skin Health and Disorders

Attention: Florida ingestible CBD that are sold, purchased or shipped into Florida Require by law. Labeling Law S.581.217(7).F.S. and 21 CFR Part 101…

 

Do you really know what is in your CBD product? 

Do you really know what you are ingesting? 

Do you really know what you are using on your skin?

On July 8^th 2020 the FDA reported to congress on their testing of nearly 150 randomly selected CBD products.

Results showed that less than half contained the stated amount of CBD on the label!

• 18% contained less than 80% of the amount of CBD stated
• 45% were within 20% of the amount of CBD stated. 10% is the standard for pharmaceuticals.
• 35% contained more than 120% of the amount of CBD stated on the label.

And this is just testing for CBD!

For your safety you need to dig deep. You must seek out the information beyond what your product is claiming.

The hemp plant is nature’s bioaccumulator… consider hemp to be soil’s own vacuum cleaner! Hemp has been used for years to clean and recondition contaminated soil and its impressive ability to remove waste has been termed bioremediation or phytoremediation. This mean it can soak up EVERYTHING…. So if your hemp product’s origin is not well-regulated, tested and maintained, the hemp plants that were used to make your items could have many unwanted and often toxic contaminants.

Did you know hemp was planted around the Chernobyl nuclear disaster? It demonstrated its incredible ability to remove dangerous heavy metals, pesticides, solvents. 

Put simply, the hemp plant by nature sucks up and removes contaminants efficiently… a feature that’s GREAT for farmers of course, but it should make you truly question what could be lurking in your hemp products, especially your CBD!

If your product states “we have certificates of analysis (COA)”. Great, but is that COA only analyzing potency? Is there a full analysis of toxins, chemical, etc? This is important. View an example of a COA with Full Panel Testing.

You need to seek out full COA documents that go beyond just potency. Full panel batch testing for solvents, pesticides, microbials, mycotoxins, mold, filth are expensive. Very few CBD companies validate their product claims and protect you with extensive full testing.

For your safety and protection look for products that:

1. Use ISO 10725 accredited laboratories for Full panel testing. There are very few companies that value your safety over their dollar bottom line. Sad but true!
2. Facilities that are FDA compliant and FDA registered and inspected. 
3. Facilities that are cGMP registered and compliant.
4. Use only USA hemp grown for CBD content.
5. Have a scannable QR code (quick reference code). You can scan this and it should take you to their website and testing. Hopefully FULL testing.

Consumer protection IS coming, but until that time you have to do your homework. You will be surprised how few products are fully tested, proven safe, effective natural products from a manufacture that values your trust, safety confidence more than their bottom line.

At Azure Botanics from our conception it has been our mission to provide safe, effective and fully tested products. We value your trust and confidence by providing you the facts in a sea of false claims and unsafe products.

Hemp, Nature’s Gift of Wellness and Health Revealed…..again.

Did you know?

Hemp is Cannabis but contains less than 0.3% THC and is non-psychoactive. THC is one of 100 plus natural chemicals in cannabis. THC is the only one that is psychoactive, produces a high. Hemp is indigenous to Central Asia. Cultivation of hemp for cloth and other basic necessities can be traced to 2,800 BCE (before the Christian era).

Modern research has confirmed that ancient cultures knew about hemp’s amazing properties and medicinal value. The hemp seed contains a vast array of nutrients and essential fatty acids. Ancient cultures relied on the hemp seeds as a stable, nutritious and natural food source.

In recent times the use of cannabis (high THC) plant to produce a psychoactive high has over shadowed the stellar use of hemp in large industries for cable, cloth and paper. The demise of public opinion was in most cases orchestrated by big business that were offering synthetic options for natural hemp products. The petro chemical and textile industries knowing the monetary value of hemp set in motion a vicious public opinion smokescreen. Their goal was to sway public opinion starting in 1930.

This lead to the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937.

This is the first legal restriction of cannabis/hemp. Later the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 without regard for current research hemp (less than 0.3% THC) was lumped in with marijuana (high THC), heroin, LSD, ecstasy, methaqualone, and peyote as a Schedule 1 class drugs. https://www.dea.gov/drug-scheduling Codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl, and others are Schedule 2 class drugs. https://www.dea.gov/drug-scheduling

The Farm Bill of 2014 defined hemp as containing less than 0.3% THC. This allowed legal growing of hemp for agricultural research and in all 50 states.

In 2018, The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 or better known as The 2018 Farm Bill allowed hemp production and products containing less than 0.3% THC by dry weight as legal in all 50 states. Note that most states provide legal guidelines for hemp labeling and testing requirements of CBD products. https://nifa.usda.gov/industrial-hemp

In closing. There are some gray areas, and a very large percentage of less than reputable procurers ignore the testing, labeling and safety of you the consumer.

At Azure Botanics it is our mission to inform, educate and help our friends and clients make safe and verifiable decisions. The vast industry is the “Wild West” enter at your own risk. We at Azure Botanics are active at the State, Federal, and legitimate trade groups to seek industry-wide full transparency and testing. It is our goal to protect our clients and friends, you the consumer.
