FAQ

All humans, and many other animals, have an Endocannabinoid System (ECS), an endogenous system that regulates biological balance, or homeostasis.

The ECS consists of three key elements:

1. Cannabinoid Receptors (CB1 and CB2),
2. Endocannabinoids (chemical compounds produced by the body) and
3. Metabolic Enzymes (produced to break down endocannabinoids).

Phytocannabinoids, such as CBD and THC, interact with the ECS by mimicking biological receptor responses.

CBD and THC are only two of 113+ identified chemical compounds, or cannabinoids, found in the cannabis plant. Both compounds interact with the naturally occurring human Endocannabinoid System.

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a major, non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid (i.e. plant produced compound that has no ‘mind-altering’ effects). CBD is produced in large concentrations in the cannabis plant species, and can also be found in other plants, such as hops.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the compound in cannabis that is psychoactive, and when consumed or smoked, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels to the brain, attaching itself to the naturally-occurring endocannabinoid receptors located in the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. These are the parts of the brain responsible for thinking, memory, pleasure, coordination and movement.

CBD isolate is a pure, isolated form of CBD. There are no other active compounds in the extract. It represents the most uniformly, batch replicable cannabinoid for our scientific studies.

The difference revolves around locally sitting atop the skin (Topical), versus penetrating into the greater body systems via your skin (Transdermal). GALYNA™ first and foremost delivers skin-centric science to focus on only the outermost layers. GALYNA™’s scientific advantage is Topical in nature which allows only target areas of outer skin to receive our treatment. A Transdermal product is designed to pass through the epidermis into the deeper tissues and bloodstream, to affect other parts of your mind and body, but may signal positive results in drug testing. Transdermal techniques are commonly used in pharmaceutical applications. GALYNA™ exclusively crafts Topicals designed to improve your skin and life.​

There are endocannabinoid receptors found throughout the body and skin. Applying cannabinoids topically targets a localized bodily response. Direct interaction with skin receptors through cannabinoids releases the compounds anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Yes, you can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) debit card to purchase GALYNA products if they are deemed eligible medical expenses. Most skincare products that are used to treat or prevent a specific medical condition can qualify. It is best to consult with your HSA/FSA administrator or refer to your plan details to confirm eligibility.
