Background:
- Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is recognized for its rich profile of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.
- These compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, are increasingly explored for topical applications in skincare.
- Existing research highlights the need for effective delivery systems to maximize the benefits of hemp actives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the biological properties of hemp actives for topical applications.
- To explore strategies for enhancing the skin penetration of hemp-derived compounds.
- To examine the integration of hemp actives into cosmeceuticals for natural and sustainable skincare.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of scientific publications on hemp compounds and their dermatological applications.
- Analysis of research on topical delivery systems for cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
- Examination of studies on the efficacy of hemp-based cosmeceuticals for various skin benefits.
Main Results:
- Hemp actives exhibit significant anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties beneficial for skin health.
- Strategies such as nanoencapsulation and liposomal formulations show promise in improving the topical delivery and efficacy of hemp actives.
- Hemp-based cosmeceuticals offer natural alternatives for anti-aging, moisturizing, and soothing effects.
Conclusions:
- Hemp actives represent a versatile and sustainable ingredient for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

01:15Non-Oral Extravascular Drug Absorption Routes
209
Non-oral extravascular routes, which encompass sublingual, buccal, topical, intramuscular, and inhalation methods, primarily utilize passive diffusion to transport drugs into the systemic circulation. The absorption rates and effectiveness of these routes depend on the drug's physicochemical properties, as well as the patient's anatomical and pathophysiological state.

Depending on the target organ, local anesthetics (LAs) can be administered via various routes. In surface anesthesia, LAs are applied directly to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. It is widely used for topical skin numbing before venipuncture or minor surgical procedures. Commonly used surface local anesthetics are lidocaine or benzocaine sprays or creams. Surface anesthesia occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for about 60 minutes. One of the main disadvantages of topical anesthesia is...

Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.

Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
