Description
Alice Picco and co-authors turned a cannabis compound into a skin product that pharmacists can prepare fresh from a dry powder. The compound, cannabigerol or CBG, calms inflammation and fights microbes and oxidation, much like the better-known CBD. The team first tested how well CBG crosses lab-made skin-like membranes, with and without a helper molecule that boosts passage.
They then spray-dried the winning mixture into a powder that turns back into a smooth oil-in-gel cream when stirred with pure water. A battery of tests confirmed the drying step left the compound chemically unchanged. The authors offer the powder as a measured-dose form for local treatment of skin problems such as acne and psoriasis.
