Kush Queen is largely known for our award-winning bath bombs and topicals powered by our patent-pending nano-CBD. Over the years, we have loved educating our customers about the benefits of a full-body topical CBD application; the synergistic relationship between cannabinoids and terpenes–known as the entourage effect; and why water-based CBD lubricants are safer than oil-based lubes. 

Last year we introduced a new category of products that have proven to be effective and fun for customers: Ingestibles. Ingestibles are CBD infused products that you eat, drink, or otherwise take orally. The addition of ingestibles to the Kush Queen line of wellness products makes our offering more holistic and versatile. Let’s dig into why and how you can use our CBD Ingestibles. 

CBD Tincture 101

CBD tinctures are trending right now. Tinctures are especially appealing among folx who want to avoid smoking or limit their use of pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications. 

What is CBD Tincture Made Of?

CBD Tinctures are made of hemp extract mixed with a carrier oil.  

Kush Queen Bare CBD Tincture is a hypoallergenic blend of organic olive oil and full-spectrum CBD. Full-spectrum CBD means that the CBD is derived from cannabis and contains CBD in addition to many other cannabinoids, including THC, along with other elements of the hemp plant.

How do you take CBD Tincture?

CBD tinctures are commonly taken sublingually. This means the oil is dropped into your mouth and held underneath the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. During this time absorption occurs through the blood vessels and sublingual glands in the mouth. This method ensures a rapid onset and higher bioavailability of CBD. This type of dosing also allows one to easily adjust their dose as needed. Bäre CBD Tincture comes with dosing instructions on the bottle and a dropper with easy to read measurements in milliliters. 

Why Should You Choose CBD Tincture?

Someone trying to ease pain, promote better sleep, reduce anxiety, and boost their immune system could benefit greatly from adding a dose of CBD tincture to their morning and nightly routines. 

We recommend Kush Queen CBD Tincture if…

• You want to adjust and measure a custom CBD dose
• You want to include CBD in your daily wellness routine 
• You need a rapid onset of effects
• You want to infuse CBD into any food
• You enjoy the clean natural taste of hemp extract in organic olive oil
• You want to give your pet CBD 

CBD Gummies 101

CBD Gummies are a fun combo of sweetness and CBD. Gummies are an easy way to take CBD with you during day-to-day activities and while traveling. 

What are CBD Gummies? 

CBD Gummies are edible candies that contain cannabidiol (CBD) oil. They come in a variety of flavors, colors, shapes, and concentrations of CBD. Gummies offer a discrete and easy way to ingest CBD. 

Historically, CBD Gummies have been most people’s first introduction to trying CBD. 

When Should You Take CBD Gummies?

Kush Queen CBD Gummies can be taken daily with morning vitamins and supplements and as needed throughout the day. 

Since the CBD is infused into the gummies in 12.5mg and 25mg doses, you get a precise dose every time. Hand-crafted in small batches in California, Kush Queen GummiesRx are an easy way to elevate yourself daily.

Not Your Average CBD Gummie

Unlike THC-infused edibles that can end in disaster if taken carelessly, Kush Queen CBD Gummies are effective for reducing stress and promoting relaxation without producing a psychoactive effect. 

Kush Queen gummies are lab tested to ensure each gummy is dosed accurately, making them perfect for beginners looking for their CBD sweet spot. We use full-spectrum CBD that contains less than 0.3% THC, so they won’t get you high, but they will give you plenty of relief. 

So keep a bottle of Kush Queen CBD gummies in your gym bag, backpack, or carry-on and never let pain, stress, or anxiety keep you from living your best life.

We recommend GummiesRx if…

• You want an easy, on-the-go dose of daily CBD
• Want to know exactly what you’re getting each time
• Don’t want to deal with measuring out each dose yourself
• Enjoy the sweet taste of gummies

Conclusion

We’ve laid out the 101 knowledge and benefits of taking a CBD tincture and CBD gummies, but there’s no reason why you can’t experiment with both. 

Kush Queen, CBD, and Small Business Saturday. 

The past 4 years of Kush Queen have been an incredible journey of love, growth, perseverance, and of course, CBD. Waking up every day to share our passion in a rapidly growing market, we have experienced our highest highs and some courage-required lows. But I can attest to every second being worth it. 

Take a read through our reflections and a photo scroll through memory lane!

What a Year for CBD Momentum and Market Conditions

2019 will always be a historic year for CBD. With the Farm Bill passing in the Senate and the House in early December 2018, the new year promised to be an exciting growth year for CBD.

At the time, Kush Queen was experiencing incredible growth. Our team was evolving, constantly improving and making production adjustments to ensure we are creating the same high-quality CBD experience with every single handmade product.

Mid-summer, payment processing in the CBD industry came crashing down. Many in the industry went months with no ability to accept payments online and had to face tough decisions to keep their business afloat. 

Through the grit and determination of our team and the patience and loyalty of our customers, Kush Queen made it through that chapter. As a small business innovating in a rapidly expanding industry we cannot say thank you enough to our customers, fans, friends, and family for the support. For example, on the eve of our first big mainstream event, one of our lows transformed right into one of the highest highs – BeautyCon LA. 

Kush Queen Is Visibility, Wellness, and Innovation

In the same spirit of getting our dream up and running like Amazon, Google, and Disney, we started Kush Queen in our family garage. The Kush Queen brand was born out of our sister company, The Crystal Cult. The Kush Queen was a vape that turned into the beginning of a community. So many kush queens were out there but the cannabis industry’s male slated products left room for a newcomer with a different vision. 

Kush Queen grew out of a community of like-minded individuals wanting to create a different type of space – a creative outlet for cannabis-derived health and wellness.

Our vision is to create a space for anyone to gain access to high-quality health and wellness products made from the healing cannabis plant. 

It’s All-Hands-On-Deck  

It takes a village, including you! We are a small, family-operated business. We’ve got a tight-knit crew of people that all believe in a dream of making things better. From CBD to our workplace vibe, the Kush Queen team is dedicated to one another and making the best CBD products on the market. We’re savages but like the kind you want to invite over to sesh with and meet your mom! With every challenge we face, we turn inward, use our products, innovate and move forward!   

Thank You For Supporting Our Small Business

Our passion for this plant and its power to transform lives keeps us motivated! Thank you for believing in our dream. It is with gratitude we operate every day from the heart and it is our privilege to have you as part of our family. 

The irony of small business Saturday is that it was started by a corporation. A corporation that will not do business with CBD companies. The irony is really so 2019. 

And with that, we pour some CBD on it! Stock up on CBD with the holiday sale going on now. 

Follow our lead and make this holiday season the most chill you’ve ever experienced. The Ultimate Kush Queen CBD Gift Guide will navigate you through gifts for just about anyone in your life!

It’s the most wonderful time of year when we eat, drink, shop, and spread joy.

CBD and Flu Season Prep – Get My 5 Tips For Staying Healthy

Flu season is upon us, there is no denying it! It’s that time of year where a cough and sneeze can send me into deep panic. I’ve been on the fence for years about the flu shot. Do I? Don’t I? It’s kind of crazy that it depends on who you ask. In my current CBD and flu season immune-boosting preparation routine, I stick to the basics. 

Here’s a walk through of my immune system boosting routine to ward off colds, flu and other ailments. In my CBD consumption diary you can see what a typical week looks like for me during this time of year.

CBD is My Go To For Immune System Support

One thing is for sure, CBD helps keep my immune system strong AF. Back when I was on a lot of pharmaceuticals, my immune system was compromised because the medications were affecting my white blood cell count. 

This made me prone to catching everything including the dreaded flu. After two bad flu seasons where I was completely taken out for two weeks at a time, I developed a serious CBD and flu season regimen. I am happy to report *knocks on wood* that I have been able to avoid getting the flu for the last two years. 

In regards to using CBD in this setting, one of the biggest things I think people miss when it comes to this time of year is that you have to up your daily dose. In the words of Drake “ALL THE WAY UP!” 

My CBD and Flu Season 5 Step Prep Breakdown

1. Serious Hand Washing – This step is surprising always overlooked. If you are out in public, be mindful of regularly washing scrubbing your hands. I try to go by the 45 second rule and get everything from palms to fingernails. 
2. Essential Oils – It’s no secret I believe in and love using essential oils. Every Kush Queen product is based on targeted effects delivered by essential oils for a variety of uses. My go-to for this time of year is the Shield for Immunity blend which is inspired by the 15th-century legend of four thieves.
3. Baths – Submerging your body in warm water has multiple health benefits that go well beyond leisure. You’ll find me taking a bath almost every day this time of year. 
4. Vitamins – Having a good balance of minerals and vitamins is crucial to giving your immune system the fuel it needs to fight off infection. I’m not known for having the most balanced diet so I cover the necessities with daily vitamins. 
5. CBD Loading – Think carb loading like before a workout but with CBD. I up my daily dose and use a mix of delivery methods when I’m trying to keep my immune system healthy. 

CBD is so much more than making great products to me, it’s also about how you use it within your daily life. So many of us now have access to CBD, but don’t know how much to use. Here’s a week inside my CBD infused life to give you insight into how the cannabinoid works for me! 

Olivia Alexander’s CBD Consumption Diary

Sunday November 3, 2019 – A Stay At Home Day
6:15am

My little cloud son, Reggie wakes me up early. After I feed him I dose my coffee with our 1000mg Bäre Tincture. One dropper is 33mg of CBD. I also pop in my vitamin gummies as I start my Sunday. 

3:30pm 

I did chores all day so I am feeling pretty gross and in need of a hot shower! I jump in the shower and use my Soaked shower gel. The rich lather and bright tangie scent invigorate me for the rest of the afternoon. I’m feeling refreshed!

10:45pm

I have 2 Gummies RX before bed with my nightly edible for sleep. Each CBD gummy is 25mg bringing my dose to 50mg. 

Total Daily Consumption – Approx. 100mg of CBD

Monday November 4, 2019 – Typical Workday

8:15am 

After my morning Shower with Soaked, I lather up my face in Defynt. Then follow it up with our alice and olivia x kush queen collab CBD body lotion. Monday morning’s call for a triple threat treatment, chill on the inside means chill on the outside! 

11:30am

A bunch of Monday crap (no need to sugar coat) comes my way and I find myself feeling super stressed. Stress is a KILLER to your immune system and increases your risk of getting the flu. Running a business is non-stop problem solving and adapting, so I keep a 1000mg Bäre in my purse at all times. When I feel anxiety and stress coming on, I have 2 droppers of 1000mg Bäre for a 60mg dose of CBD. 

9:00pm 

A day like today calls for a high dose CBD bath bomb! I soak in our 100mg Shield For Immunity CBD bath bomb. This bath contains a mix of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary essential oils known to boost the immune system. The cinnamon really gets me every time and I feel so deeply relaxed, I head straight to bed.

Total Daily Consumption – Approx. 220mg of CBD

Tuesday November 5, 2019 – Work From Home Day

5:45am

It’s an early morning with my puppy son and I slept wrong. My neck is KILLING ME. For me that means a topical and oral approach. First I apply Melt CBD Lotion to my neck. Then, I take 5, 25mg CBD GummiesRx. One of my favorite benefits of CBD is the fact that it’s a known anti-inflammatory agent. Anytime I have inflammation, I increase my dose.  

12:30pm 

I’m not feeling so great, so I decide to work from home today. Acknowledging that my pain has reached a more serious level, I medicate with THC. 

9:45pm

My energy is low and the bed is calling my name. I rub my body down with alice and olivia x kush queen cbd body lotion and the lavender helps ease my mind and drift to sleep. 

 Total Daily Consumption – Approx. 180mg of CBD, 164mg of THC

Wednesday November 6, 2019  – Crazy But Typical Workday

Full transparency here! I had a crazy day at the office and forgot to log my consumption. I know I had 2 CBD gummies in the morning. 

Total Daily Consumption – Approx. 50mg of CBD

Thursday November 7, 2019 – Crazy But Typical Workday

For the second day in a row, my day took me over. I used to really get down on myself when this happened, but I’m practicing acknowledgment and acceptance. 

9:30pm

I need a CBD bath. After sitting in traffic all day, my body and neck is a mess. So I draw a bath for one of our new high dose 200mg CBD Bath Bombs in the Relax blend.  

10:45pm

I forgot my morning dose of CBD, so I double up on my night dose. One full dropper of Bäre and 3, 25mg CBD GummiesRx put me right to sleep. 

Total Daily Consumption – Approx. 300mg of CBD

Friday November 8, 2019 – Late Night

7:30am

I realize I’ve been in contact with people that were sick so I add an emergen-C  to my morning routine. In the shower, I scrub my entire body with our Renew CBD Sugar scrub and then I wear our CBD primer Foto Blur under my makeup for the day. 

12:45pm

Today was looonnngggg. I got home way past my bedtime. When this happens, I have a mandatory before bed bath and then lather down with Melt CBD Lotion. I use a 200mg Sleep CBD Bath Bomb and the level of relaxation and ease I felt before bed is why I make Kush Queen CBD products!

Conclusion

I write this series to help people understand how I consume CBD. While we see lots of information about CBD in general or what pain points to use CBD for, most people (even daily users) are still trying to figure out how much CBD to take.  

When it comes to CBD and Flu Season, I up my daily dose intake and check in with myself regularly. Stay healthy out there friends!   

If I had to pick one Kush Queen CBD product to use during this time of year, it would hands down be our Shield for Immunity CBD Bath Bomb.

Grab one today!

Introducing Kush Queen 100mg and 200mg CBD Bath Bombs

That’s right, you asked for a high dose CBD bath bomb and we listened! In 2018, we introduced the Kush Queen Product Review System which turned out to be a game-changer for us. We don’t just want to make CBD health and wellness products we love, we want to make CBD products that YOU love and align with your needs! Day after day, the reviews poured in and one of the repeat customer requests was for high dose CBD bath bombs. It was clear that Kush Queen customers love our CBD bath bombs but you wanted and needed more CBD. 

Mid-year, we put our lab team to work on our highest dose bath bombs EVER! With great excitement we introduce our 100mg and 200mg CBD bath bombs in our best selling blends Relax, Relieve, Sleep, Awaken, Love, and Citrus.  

Why Should You Use A High Dose CBD Bath Bombs?

At this point, it’s safe to say that most people have heard about the benefits of using CBD. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Martha Stewart’s dog is using some version of CBD to aid in daily wellness. And if you are reading this, we bet you are too!

When considering the switch from using a lower dose to a higher dose CBD bath bomb, ask yourself, “Why am using a CBD Bath Bomb?” 

We recommend choosing the 100mg CBD Bath Bomb if you:

• Have trouble getting to sleep.
• Had an extra hard workout. 
• Like using CBD daily and want to up your dose. 
• You didn’t feel the body high from the 25mg CBD Bath Bomb. 
• Indulging in a self-care day. 

We recommend choosing the 200mg CBD Bath Bomb if you:

• Are trying to take the edge off and induce relaxation. 
• Working to fight off an infection or inflammation. 
• Recovering from an injury or trauma 
• Detoxing or rebooting your body

Some of us use CBD for muscle relaxation, while others use CBD to help with mental clarity. We suggest starting small and increasing your CBD dose over time. 

What Makes Kush Queen High Dose CBD Bath Bombs the BEST CBD bath bombs? 

Kush Queen CBD Bath Bombs Are Handmade and Fresh

Every Kush Queen CBD bath bomb is handmade in California by real humans. Each week, our production team makes small batches of our bath bombs by mixing, forming and packing them from start to finish at our facility. We keep our batch sizes small and cycle through on-hand inventory quickly to ensure that every CBD bath bomb is fresh and fizzy when you drop it in the tub. 

High-Quality Ingredients 

One of our goals in developing our unique CBD bath bomb formula is for our bath bombs to contain minimal ingredients. So many bath bombs on the market can negatively affect a woman’s PH due to the numerous ‘non-clean’ ingredients. Being a womxn founded company, we wanted our bath bombs to be safe for the most sensitive of bodies. 

All doses (25mg, 100mg, 200mg) of Kush Queen CBD bath bombs contain:

• 100% organic essential oils, type varies by bath bomb blend
• Cannabidiol (CBD), mg amount varies per dose
• Sodium Bicarbonate 
• Magnesium Sulfate 
• Citric Acid
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• FD&C Color

When using any of our doses, you’ll feel and smell the difference in our CBD bath bombs. All of the ingredients work together to create an experience that you only get with Kush Queen CBD Bath Bombs.  

Full Body CBD Topical

Our bath bombs work because we use targeted essential oils and CBD to create the entourage effect. Your skin is your biggest organ, so by submerging your body fully into the water your experiencing a full-body topical CBD application. 

This experience is completely different from placing a relief lotion on a small localized pain point. With our high dose CBD bath bombs, your body is fully submerging in a 100mg or 200mg dose of CBD. And your body reacts like a sponge soaking up all the ingredient goodness Kush Queen CBD bath bombs offer which allows for more absorption of the CBD.

CBD bath bombs are our flagship product because of its superior delivery method.

Grab a higher dose CBD bath bomb and you’ll leave the tub feeling like you had a full body massage!

It can feel great to look towards the future of cannabis and feel so amazed at what the seemingly endless paths from where legality and decriminalization intersect. And as 420 came so did the inspirational posts on what the cannabis industry expects to do in the future months and years with these paths. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, when we clear the smoke a little bit we notice that those endless opportunities don’t always include black and brown folks – nor do they embrace communities affected by the War on Drugs. So as a 420 after-cap, I wanted to talk about someone from our past that has been inspired and bemused by cannabis just like so many of us today.

The late, great Maya Angelou is better known for her acclaimed work as a writer, civil rights activist, and poet – but that’s just one layer to Ms. Angelou. Maya Angelou, just like you and I, had a past that gave her the experiences she needed to create her future. But because we live in a white patriarchal society dead-set on maintaining dying respectability politics – history and narratives of POC are often white-washed to make them more “palatable” or to upkeep “American values.” Which is a tragedy. It let Ms. Angelou’s beautifully-crafted writing to be quoted and posted every day somewhere on the internets like a badge of “progress,” without any attempt to read a full body of her work and understand the life she lived, from her own words.

Because before she was awarded more than 50 honorary degrees, before she became one of the United States most influential autobiographers before she was a multi Grammy winner, Ms. Angelou labored job to job. She held work as a fry-cook, stripped in bars and sang in night-clubs as a Calypso singer, and hustled as a prostitute. These years in her life helped her become the woman we know, love and admire today.

I’m sure someone’s probably reading this and is like, wow that’s all really cool and stuff – but what does it have to do with weed? Well, I’m getting to it, enjoy the buildup.

As I mentioned, Maya Angelou was working hard but still found a way to enjoy herself. It was during her time as a server at a bar that Ms. Angelou was introduced to cannabis – or “grifa” as she called it, by two lesbian prostitutes that were regulars there. This all happened sometime around in 1946 when Ms. Angelou was eighteen, right at the beginning of a very long “War on Drugs.” Ms. Angelou describes what cannabis made her feel in her autobiography  “Gather Together in My Name.”  

“I learned new postures and developed new dreams. From a natural stiffness, I melted into a grinning tolerance. Walking on the streets became high adventure, eating my mother’s huge dinners an opulent entertainment, and playing with my son was side-cracking hilarity. For the first time, life amused me.”

No matter how many times I read and re-read that paragraph I’m filled with joy at the representation Ms. Angelou effortlessly gave us. I’ve always felt that the cannabis industry has lacked depth and lived experiences – exactly why it’s become such a capitalistic industry now. But that’s where Ms. Angelou has continued to be way beyond in years with her writing, even in this space. She gave us the representation of Black Womxn in cannabis that the industry and community so desperately need. Just as she spoke on the experience of being a mother who needed a break, a way to enjoy herself and still be able to take care of her child. And let’s be real, who doesn’t think food taste best with a high as an appetizer? I’ll wait.

Ms. Angelou isn’t just a literature icon but she’s also a queen of the green.

With the recent rise of CBD’s popularity, people think adding CBD to anything, especially CBD primer and makeup is just a trend. What most people don’t know is the science behind using CBD in makeup. All CBD use should start at the intersection of the delivery method and the cannabinoid receptors that naturally exist in your body. CBD is delivered to your body in the form of cannabinoids and when your body receives and processes cannabinoids, it nourishes your body’s endocannabinoid system. That’s when we experience the benefits of using CBD. 

When it comes to using CBD in makeup the most important factor to consider is your skin which is one of the best delivery methods and the body’s largest organ. That’s why KINGDM Foto Blur CBD Primer uses the surface of your face, aka skin as its delivery method. 

Why should the CBD delivery method matter to you? Especially in CBD Makeup… 

The delivery method is how cannabinoids are ingested into your body. For example, an oral delivery method could be a gummy or tincture because you consume the cannabinoids through your mouth. A CBD bath bomb uses a full body topical delivery method because you submerge yourself in the cannabinoids. When evaluating any CBD makeup product, it’s important to understand the delivery method to determine the potential effectiveness of the product. If the delivery method isn’t clear, chances are the cannabinoids (in most cases, CBD) won’t get into your body.    

For example, CBD in mascara. How does the delivery method and your body’s cannabinoid receptors meet up? Don’t get us wrong, we love CBD and cannabinoids at Kush Queen, but the science has to be clear.

3 Reasons Using CBD Primer Under Your Makeup Is A Smart Move

As soon as you apply KINGDM Foto Blur CBD Primer, you’ll feel the silky formula soften your skin and see it mattify your pallet. And while that’s what everyone loves about our primer, let’s get into the benefits of having CBD as our star active ingredient. 

1. CBD is a Known Anti-Inflammatory

The number one reason to wear CBD Primer under your makeup is because CBD fights inflammation. We know the cause of most skin issues like acne is inflammation and we also know that wearing makeup all day can cause inflammation. By placing CBD under your makeup you can help fight inflammation while wearing makeup. 

2. CBD is Anti-Bacterial

Exposing our skin to bacteria from our hands, phones, and furry friends is happening at all times. Makeup complicates it even more and is why our full glam lewks are known to not be so great for our skin health. A new study on CBD as an anti-bacterial has been released by the Centre for Superbug Solutions at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland in Australia. Dr. Mark Blaskovich, Ph.D., senior research officer at the center says “The first thing we looked at is CBD’s ability to kill bacteria.” “In every case, CBD had a very similar potency to that of common antibiotics.”

3. Reduce Redness and Skin Impurities

Our patent-pending process creates a water-soluble nano CBD and also uses Vitamin E which has a host of known skin benefits. Plus, our nano CBD particle is 2,000 times smaller than your pores and absorbs directly into the bloodstream. This combination increases the bioavailability of the CBD in your body and in this case directly on your face. Kush Queen Customers have reported redness and skin impurities decrease.

It’s incredible to see the world changing. I remember a time when even CBD could not be sold online and now it’s going nationwide. With so much excitement in the air, it seems some truth is getting lost in shuffle. Ultimately, CBD or cannabidiol is just a molecule. Our endocannabinoid system interacts with this molecule which triggers effects inside the body. While CBD is non-psychoactive, there are still effects experienced.  CBD is currently unregulated, thus consumers are dependent on businesses to self-regulate. This is why it’s important to us at Kush Queen to have as much transparency as possible. Recently, we have begun to see our products on lists’s with other products that are labeled CBD, but do not actually contain CBD. It’s important to set the record straight.

Hemp CBD vs. Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp CBD is not the same as hemp seed oil. Hemp CBD is extracted from a fully grown cannabis plant using either solvents or a solventless method, while hemp seed oil is pressed from seeds. Furthermore, hemp seed oil contains absolutely no CBD.

Recently we have begun to see our products next to many different hemp products. Some products are ‘cannabis-inspired’ (contain no hemp seed or CBD oil) , some are hemp seed oil, and some contain CBD. As we usher in a new era and industry, it is important to educate and have transparency. For years, we worked behind the scenes at cannabis companies and at Kush Queen we make cannabis products that are in the most regulated cannabis system in the world. Currently, our cannabis products must test within a 10% margin of error for potency, while the FDA allows a lax 20%. In addition to strict potency guidelines, all of our products are tested at the highest sensitivity for residual solvents, over 60 pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins and foreign materials. Every batch is fully present at the time of testing and samples are randomly selected. Until CBD is regulated, we follow this same standard at our Hemp CBD facility. This is how we make products at Kush Queen and it’s important for our customers to know. We do this because we believe in safe products and the effectiveness of the plant.

We believe that putting hemp seed oil products next to Hemp CBD causes confusion, or worse, that a company may be trying to mislead customers. Ultimately, a lab test will show how much CBD is present in a product. Accurate dosing is important with CBD because it is an active ingredient. That is why every Kush Queen product has the exact dosing on the front of every package. CBD is not a buzz word, for many, it is the only medicine that can help. We take our products seriously, and we hope that you take CBD seriously. Ask questions, demand transparency and clarity. As a consumer, you have a right to know that the products you are putting in or on your body are safe and effective.

Below are lab tests which show the differences between Hemp seed oil and CBD products. You can see the products containing hemp seed oil show no CBD detected. The third lab reported shows our Immunity bath bomb and detects 104mg of CBD.

 

While the industry booms, consumers will have more options than ever. It’s our hope that we will be able to arm them with the knowledge they need to choose the CBD beauty and wellness products right for them.
