A solid 250 mg of CBD awaits consumers who purchase this decadent moisturizer that is filled to the brim with omegas, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The full-spectrum hemp extract is one powerful ingredient among many: camellia seed oil, evening primrose oil, prickly pear seed oil and sea buckthorn to name just a few. It's also perfect for sensitive skin types by virtue of being fragrance and essential oil free.
Fior boasts an array of beauty products that soothe and hydrate facial skin thanks to the addition of CBD extracts and organic hemp seed oil. This particular product is suitable for oily complexions because it is uber-light and absorbs quickly; wintergreen leaf and bergamot oil lend a pleasant fragrance, while oat, bark extract and oleanolic acid soothe and mattify. It's manufactured in a facility that uses solar-powered energy, and we especially love a beauty brand that bans parabens, phthalates, SLS, SLES, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan and triclocarban.
Beboe Therapies similarly embraces the many cannabinoid compounds beyond CBD that can benefit the skin. This water-based vegan face cream combines 250 mg of full-spectrum CBD with classic skin care hero ingredients including niacinimide, a peptide complex, squalane and vitamin E. This cream, along with the Fior Perfecting Moisturizer, are great alternatives for shoppers who dislike the feel of facial oils but want to test out the healing powers of hemp. No palm oil, parabens, silicones or phthalates to be found.
The Grandpa Soap Co. is really doubling down on its CBD-infused product line; the company's patent-pending Nano-Emulsified Full Spectrum CBD formula is purportedly six times more bioavailable than the standalone ingredient. Notably, the certifications for this product rock it: Cruelty Free, Certified Vegan, Women Owned and Family Owned. It's also simply a darn good deodorant thanks to the inclusion of magnesium, arrowroot powder, shea butter and tea tree oil. It can also be used to refresh the soles of feet—a super two-for-one product.
Full-spectrum hemp oil is the way to go to get that full-on entourage effect, and this ultra-rich sleeping mask has a decent CBD dosage of 70 mg for the jar. Rice bran extract, green microalgae and phytoplankton all make an appearance in this skin firming concoction alongside the antioxidant-rich cannabinoids. Your skin does the most regeneration at night, so overnight treatments such as this one can make for quick transformations. Additionally, this product's cream-to-oil application is lovely! It's free of parabens, sulfates and drying alcohols, so sensitive-skinned customers can partake.

Cannabinoids have officially busted onto the natural beauty scene in a big way. According to a Million Insights report from earlier this year, the global CBD skin care market is set to hit $1.7 billion by 2025.
Key to this movement as it relates to personal care is consumer education on the topical properties of CBD, CBG and other compounds derived from the hemp plant. With antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties galore, products infused with certain cannabinoids (as well as the full-spectrum oil) can help resolve everything from acne to eczema.
Newer formulations eschew the hemp-y scent prevalent in the first wave of CBD topicals, and a growing number of brands cater to natural products industry shoppers in particular with testing-related QR codes and popular certifications, including USDA Organic and Certified Vegan.
With the CBD hype, of course, comes a lot of malarkey that can be tough for shoppers to sift through. For instance, a product with hemp seed oil won't give them the same potent benefits as a product that specifically contains cannabinoids such as CBD or CBDA. Plus, when you've got companies putting CBD into everything from toothpaste to bedsheets, it can be easy for shoppers to dismiss these products as gimmicky.
