CBD oil in hair care-is new to the market.
SMOOTH & STRONG Professional had many cool 'clean' products.
Similar to a few well established private label makeup-skincare companies covered from prior tradeshows-this company has launched their own DTC brand!

| It's difficult to gauge what really is the effective amount of CBD OIL per ounce in a specific product- to really have an anti-inflammatory healing impact. We're assuming the CBD quality source is as equally important. Smooth & Straight Professional hair care products promote smooth-shiny anti-frizz-hydrated locks. All of the company products -are color safe, unisex, good for all hair types (multi-cultural)- and made without gluten, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, artificial colors or DMDMH (a microbial/preservative derived from formaldehyde). The mask pictured above-is lightweight but adds a lot of hydration-and on hair- CBD oil improves elasticity (too). The Hair Masque-has 1000mg CBD 4oz-def on the high end amount ( a good thing) of products we have seen on the market. |

| Smooth & Strong's CDB (loaded with vitamins A,C, E) is sourced sustainably, grown organically from a local Colorado farm. The CBD is extracted using a food grade organic ethanol extraction process which does not damage the active cannabinoids in the CBD (another method CO2 extraction for full spectrum hemp oil with CBD is also excellent). As mentioned in many other articles-this isn't from the same hemp plant as marijuana. So no buzz (THC). Another key ingredient in their products-agave extract -smooths, seals, and adds shine to all hair types. The multi-tasking very lightweight Nourishing Hair Oil has 1000 mg CBD/2oz $24.00 |

| Nutrafol has new packaging-and three balance- hair wellness supplements-to support gut and overall health- and thereby hair growth... for men/women/ and now another formula targeting older women. |
 |
| Ounce of Nature is a skincare line from a new Brooklyn Facial Spa-Skincare emporium with a mission to improve photo-aged skin. The anti-aging serum has CBD oil-plus hero ingredients=anti-agers retinol, collagen and anti-oxidants. Importantly usage instructions- is to use a few (very few) drops-warm up in hands first- then pat on face. We love the activated charcoal soap bar-has a slight scrub texture-lathers just enough to wash away our daily grime. |
 |
| ELINA SKIN offers up a terrific Raw Juice Sheet Mask set $30 based on nature's best. PLUS-Elina Skin checks off all the boxes of indie beauty musts: Vegan. Organic ingredients (USDA pending), Cruelty Free, and "CLEAN" -no synthetic crap like fragrances-and currently pursuing EWG certification. |
 |
| ELINA SKIN-individually sold masks (five options) $6/apiece are detox, moisturizing, soothing, anti aging or pore control focused -like the H20 Activated Charcoal Lemon Juice, pictured above. Nice-the brother/sister duo of the brand-told us Saks picked up their masks. |
 |
| Dermatologist brand VISHA Skincare-is a collection of three lines (Mommy, Advanced , Fitness) developed by the Board Certified= Dermatologist, MOHS and Cosmetic Surgeon Purvisha Patel. Fitness humans that we are-we love the Top 2 Toe head to toe hair-skin-body cleanser ($25-for a tube that should last four months with regular use)-now a gym bag stable-worthy portable solution to post work-out sweat yuck. It contains nutrient rich Cacay oil and a nature sourced-Bakuchiol -a Ayurvedic herb that's having a beauty buzz moment-because of its retinol like properties-without any of the negative side effects. Also in the mix jujube bark extract, salicylic acid a sweat-grease eliminator (gently though), and natural anti-bacterial-cooling essential tea tree oil.. |

| Ellen Lange's Retexturizing Peel kit-which is a medi-spa grade (prep-pad-peel)-has been around awhile-but is still a best seller at Sephora. And it's still an independent company! BONUS-no parabens, SLS, gluten, barley wheat, plastic beads, alcohol and no animal testing. |
