bo-sci's revolutionary skin care approach centers around botanical formulations designed to regulate the skin's Endocannabinoid System (ECS). A recent breakthrough in human biology, only discovered in the last 40 years, this system plays a crucial role in influencing the health of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, resulting in several potent effects...

Aging Signs: By improving overall skin health, including hydration, barrier function, and cell turnover, bo-sci products can impact the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, texture, and pigmentation irregularities.

• Stress Response: The skin is a key responder to stress, both environmental and psychological. The Endocannabinoid System helps modulate the skin's response to stress, reducing potential damage from stressors that result in aging and irritated skin and aids in faster recovery.
• Regulation of Inflammation:  The Endocannabinoid System plays a key role in regulating inflammation in the skin. By targeting CB2 receptors, which are part of the ECS and located in the skin's immune cells, bo-sci products can help significantly reduce inflammation. This is extremely beneficial for conditions like acne and eczema, and for general skin redness and irritation.
• Sebum Production:  Sebum, an oil produced by the skin's sebaceous glands, is essential for healthy skin, providing necessary lubrication and protection. This production is controlled by the Endocannabinoid System, a key regulator in maintaining skin equilibrium. However, too much sebum can cause acne, while too little leads to dryness and flakiness. By regulating the skin’s Endocannabinoid System, bo-sci skincare products aim to normalize sebum production, fostering overall skin health.

Skin Barrier Function: The Endocannabinoid System plays a key role in maintaining the skin barrier function. A healthy skin barrier protects against environmental stressors, retains moisture, and prevents toxins and pathogens from entering the skin. Enhancing the ECS function can improve the integrity and hydration of the epidermis.

Sensitivity Management: CB1 receptors, also targeted by bo-sci products, are found in the skin's nervous system. Interaction with these receptors can help manage skin sensitivity, especially itch, reducing discomfort and potentially soothing conditions like rosacea or dermatitis.

• Cellular Health: The ECS influences the life cycle of skin cells, including their growth and death. Proper regulation of this cycle is crucial for maintaining the health of the epidermis and preventing issues like hyperkeratinization (excess buildup of keratin), which can lead to conditions like psoriasis.

In summary, bo-sci skincare products work below the skin's surface to target the Endocannabinoid System, leading to a range of benefits for the epidermis, including improved hydration, reduced inflammation and sensitivity, balanced sebum production, enhanced skin barrier function, and healthier skin cell turnover. This results in a healthier, more resilient, and often more youthful-looking outer skin layer.
