BASF has introduced ComfortBD to the US market, a natural CBD-based ingredient derived from industrial hemp grown on farms in the United States that intend to seek certification for their organic growing practices. ComfortBD is an effective ingredient that supports the look of a mattified complexion and soothes the appearance of red, irritated skin.
“Since the pandemic, consumers have shifted their preferences, looking for sustainable and efficient solutions, and CBD is the perfect candidate for this as it’s a natural solution that provides relaxing and calming properties” said Nader Mahmoud, vice president business management for personal care North America. “Our research & development team has deep expertise with plant and botanical extracts. They found the exact synergy and combination to create an active ingredient extracted from L. cannabis sativa sourced and sustainably grown in the United States.”
ComfortBD, with monitored levels of CBD over 80% and less than 0.2% total THC, demonstrates its efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo tests. Furthermore, the development of diverse skin care formulations shows the flexibility of ComfortBD in final products with no impact on color or odor. With this launch, BASF is expanding its offering of natural and inclusive solutions in the Care Creations existing portfolio of innovative skin-care solutions.
ComfortBD is just one recent example of how BASF’s Care Chemicals Division is addressing future challenges. Sustainability, digitalization, innovation and new approaches to working together are the key cornerstones to Care 360° – Solutions for sustainable life.
