The Cannabinoid Opportunity for Cosmetics & Pharma

Cannabinoids have caught the attention of Pharma and Cosmetic companies alike in recent years, celebrated for their anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties in cosmetic products, and neurological and chronic pain benefits on the pharma side.There is also rising consumer demand for cannabinoids, exacerbated by a shift towards ‘natural’ and toxin free products, which present an interesting opportunity for ingredient manufacturers and producers.In this podcast we speak to Dr. Monica Vialpando, founder and CEO of Via Innovations about the promising applications of cannabinoids, the innovative approaches to product development and formulation, and examining the regulatory and legal considerations of bringing these products to market and whether there is an opportunity for pharma companies to diversify into the cosmetics market.
