Scientists have developed a spray made of cannabinoids, which could be on UK shelves via Wellfully's beauty brand by January 2022.

 

Boffins have created a revolutionary anti-aging skin spray - made from super-strength cannabis. According to the Daily Mirror, scientists at Australian cannabis company Dolce Cann Global have developed a number of strains which boast a mix of cannabinoids with much stronger anti-inflammatory properties than standard CBD.

 

Wellness company Wellfully has teamed up with Dolce Cann Global to secure rights to use these strains for products to fight aging, skin blemishes, acne, and arthritis, via its proprietary drug delivery systems.

 

By merging beauty, science, technology, and proprietary cannabis strains, they aim to create products that use 'ultrasonic diffusion', 'magnetic misting', and other enhanced delivery systems to allow greater absorption and better penetration of the super-strength cannabinoids.

 

Ultrasonic diffusion allows the skin to absorb droplets, which are 50 times smaller than traditional spray, leaving no undesirable residue on the skin and hair.

 

The magnetic misting acts on these droplets to further reduce surface tension, and allow for significantly better penetration and absorption.

 

Scientists are now working on testing using human-derived cell lines to analyze the bio-efficacy of seven key cannabis strains.

 

The potential for this stronger mix of cannabinoids and their unique activation pathways will be the key to treating anti-inflammatory associated with specific ailments.

 

The research should go from seed to clinical trials in 12 months, before hitting UK shelves through Wellfully's Reduit brand in 2022.

 

Wellfully's announcement comes as the cannabis-infused beauty industry continues to grow.

 

This industry is expected to be worth more than £13 billion a year by 2026.

 

It is estimated 1.2 billion people in the world suffer from medical conditions for which cannabis has shown to be of therapeutic value.
