Are cannabinoid receptors present on skin cells?
Yes. Cannabinoid receptors are present on many types of skin cells, including keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The results of preliminary studies evaluating the effects of cannabis extracts on skin cells indicate that hemp extracts may reduce oxidative stress, inhibit skin aging processes and positively affect the viability of skin cells. Analyses also showed that hydrogels based on cannabis extracts have a positive effect on skin hydration.
