Indie Beauty Highlights HAIR/SKINCARE

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 h air 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 th...

Furry Family CBD Finds

Pet products hitting the market are so similar to humans, No surprise really-as humans project their preferences-in eats, treats and wardrobe choices- onto their furry family members. Hyped or helpful CBD made from industrial hemp (the non-psycho-active kind <.03THC) have certainly exploded on the marketplace...for dogs/cats. Like the human counterpoints-where the hemp is sourced and how it's extracted -make a difference-especially since the 'evidence' of CBDs healthy helpful powers are observed rather than scientifically studied at this point. At a recent pet expo-transparency and traceability of products (QR coded labels help!!!) was buzzed about...as sourcing of hemp is an issue-notably claims of organic hemp when there's no USDA Organic certified versions...the superiority of full spectrum hemp (vs cannabinoids stripped isolate)...and CO2 extraction method. (For the 411 on CBD-hemp oil -read our summary+   analysis of CBD ) Dr. Bob Goldstein's ...

New HEMP SEED OIL SKIN+HAIRCARE Products

C lever or just soon to be an uncool marketing ploy=the monikers tossed out for plain 'ole hemp seed oil to captivate the eyeballs of kids (OR grandkids) of those original Woodstock One goers. (?!) Don't let the maybe annoying distraction take away from the benefits of hemp seed oil as an effective  beauty ingredient -legally derived from the multi-asking industrial hemp plant. (FYI-the industrial hemp plant spawns rope + fabric both super popular for decades too). Derived from the non-or practically non -THC (buzz part) strain of the cannabis sativa plant (for the 411 on hemp seed oil and CBD oil read our clip on what it REALLY is- P art One )...the benefits of hemp seed oil-marketed as the maybe sexier sounding cannabis sativa oil   are front /center now-the way other plant oils are-think coconut and argan-for beauty/skin/haircare products. No longer hippy centric-and now mainstream...expect to see loads of new products-with hemp seed oil's moisturizing-nourishing...

CBD/Hemp Oil Products

P art Two Believers here! A "magic' balm made from won't get you high CBD oil (hemp plant), and other anti-inflammatory herbs like comfrey...soothed away tenderness in a rotator cuff, so PDQ   post application-curiosity about other CBD oil (or oil like) products gave way to eager tryouts.  CV Sciences-a company making a slew of consumer products in their  PlusCBD Oil ™ division-from  Kentucky hemp plants grown from EU certified seeds...had reps at an Editor Showcase event for media -and gave out samples to try.

Beauty/Skin Care Game Change CBD

T alk about 'fake news.' We cannot remember any beauty/skincare health product ingredient with more misinformation than CBD hemp oil. PART ONE: FYI: Hemp Seed Oil aka Cannabis Sativa Oil is made by pressing the oil out of the seeds from the basically   buzz less industrial hemp plants (little or no THC =   tetrahydrocannabinol ) ---from a certain   kind of  cannabis sativa plants. Hemp seed oil has been a ok here-in edible food products like Manitoba Harves t's and moisturizing skincare products with hemp oil ( The Body Shop for example)-and has been around for years.... but the hemp seed oil mothership-the industrial hemp plant-used to be illegal to grow here for the most part (like pilot programs under Prez Clinton), Hemp seed oil had to be imported-from Canada for example. But NOW growing industrial hemp plants by licensed growers with less than .03% THC- is legal in the USA (see Congress did do something else besides giveaway tax cuts ha ha ha-c...
