You do yoga. You sip green juice. You buy organic produce. And you’re curious about using greener, cleaner skincare—but aren’t quite sure where to start. You’ve come to the right place.
Green skincare typically refers to formulas that are packed with botanical-based ingredients, while steering clear of potentially-toxic synthetics such as parabens, formaldehydes and artificial fragrances. Green products are also commonly thought to be safe products for skin because they contain fewer chemicals, though that isn’t always true. Some botanicals (hello, poison ivy) can, of course, be irritating. While many products out there aren’t as safe, or as green, as they claim to be, Perricone MD has done the research to develop high-performing skincare for even the most sensitive skin that’s safe, non-irritating and delivers unparalleled results.
What are the benefits of CBD in skincare? A green routine you can trust
Perricone MD’s Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Collection contains six products that have all the positive green-beauty attributes outlined above (yes to botanicals, no to harmful chemicals)—and they are safe for even the most sensitive skin. The collection is also a comprehensive regimen, which makes going green fool-proof.
“We wanted to ensure we could check off every box when it came to products that are both green and good for sensitive skin,” says Rosalba Martone, Perricone MD’s Director of Education. “Aside from being hypoallergenic, the products are also non-comedogenic and free of the 26 known allergens as well as parabens, fragrance, gluten, sulfates, silicones, formaldehyde, butylene- and propylene-glycol, PEG, phthalates, BHA and BHT.”
Don’t mistake soothing for ineffective, though, as the range provides amazing skincare benefits that you get from all Perricone MD products. Our latest additions to our greenest collection are of no exception. In fact, the Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Ultra-Smooth Clean Shave Cream and Ultra-Lightweight Calming SPF 35 Veil, are just as gently powerful, to fully round out your clean routine.
And what about the CBD? It’s sensitive-skin safe, too. “We utilize 99% pure Cannabidiol, which is also known as CBD isolate. This means that our products only contain the phytocannabinoid CBD, and zero traces of any other phytocannabinoids, including THC. CBD isolate has been proven to be the most effective phytocannabinoid when it comes to calming and soothing skin,” explains Martone.

Hypoallergenic CBD Sensitive Skin Therapy Nourishing & Calming Moisturizer
Benefits: Calms, softens, smooths and helps reduce the appearance of redness
What to Expect: Lightweight and nourishing, this calming cream moisturizes and soothes even the most sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients: Licorice root extract reduces flaking, soothes and visibly improves the appearance of dry, damaged skin. Buriti oil utilizes its high concentration of essential fatty acids and vitamin A to improve the feel of skin elasticity, as well as vitamin E to protect against environmental stressors. It’s also worth noting that the oil in this formula is non-comedogenic and safe for all skin types. “People with sensitive skin tend to avoid products with oil because they fear it will either cause a reaction or cause them to break out. But, when we strip our skin of essential oil, it throws our natural lipid barrier out of balance and this can result in increased sensitivity,” explains Martone. “So, it’s extremely important that we keep this lipid barrier looking strengthened and healthy. The stronger and healthier the barrier, the less sensitive the skin is.”
Results: In a consumer study of 102 people after 28 days, 100% agreed the moisturizer was gentle, while 99% agreed their skin was left feeling soft, smooth and nourished.
How to Use: Massage onto face and neck using a gentle upward motion. Use morning and evening.
