Study of the CBD content in a variety of commercially available creams

With the approval by the European Union of Cannabidiol (CBD) as an ingredient for cosmetics, various creams claim to contain this cannabinoid, and many consumers are buying these products because of the alleged properties attributed to CBD. However, there is no obligation to inform users of whether the cream actually contains it, or even to guarantee its concentration when it is declared.

In this study, the CBD content of several commercially available creams was tested by mass spectrometry/gas chromatography and the results thus obtained were compared with those declared by the manufacturer.
