What is CBG? The mother cannabinoid the skincare industry still doesn't understand

CBG typically makes up only one to two percent of the mature hemp plant's content. That's because CBGA, CBG's acid form, converts into THCA, CBDA, and CBCA as the plant matures. By harvest time, most CBG has already become other cannabinoids. This has made CBG expensive and difficult to produce in larger quantities.

In recent years, growers have begun developing CBG-rich hemp varieties and optimizing harvest timing to maximize CBG content. This has opened the door for research and product development that was previously economically impossible.

Research on CBG in skincare is still relatively young compared to CBD, but the results are promising. CBG has been shown to interact with the endocannabinoid system differently than CBD – it binds directly to both CB1 and CB2 receptors instead of working indirectly. This gives CBG a unique profile as a complement to or substitute for CBD in skincare.

TA-DA Serum is our CBG flagship with 3 percent concentration – one of the highest on the market. It gives skin direct access to this unique cannabinoid in a formulation designed for maximum absorption. The serum is water-soluble and absorbs quickly without leaving an oily feel.

In DUO TA-DA, we combine the CBG serum with a CBD-rich face oil to give skin the full spectrum. CBG works directly with receptors while CBD provides broader anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support. Together, they create the entourage effect that delivers the best results.

We also combine CBG with Fungtastic Mushroom Extract – medicinal mushrooms that support skin's immune defense and vitality. These are synergies conventional skincare hasn't even begun to explore.
