Concern level

Moderate concern

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa. In cosmetics it is mainly used for skin-conditioning and antioxidant claims, with emerging interest for soothing and anti-inflammatory support. Available literature suggests topical CBG can be well tolerated in tested formulations, but the human safety database is still limited compared with established cosmetic actives.
