DEFYNT Skincare is disrupting the beauty industry with our revolutionary line of products!

 

The CBD Skincare Revolution is here to defy conventional beauty standards. Introducing DEFYNT Skincare, made by the most advanced CBD beauty brand in the game, Kush Queen.

Our first release, The Anti-Serum, is made with 100mg Nano CBD and carefully selected ingredients that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, shrink pores, and brighten dull skin for visibly noticeable results after just days of use.

The Science

Our Amplifi™ Nanotechnology reigns supreme.

They say that beauty is only skin-deep—not anymore! We turn oil into water with our proprietary Amplifi ™ process, creating water-soluble CBD molecules as small as 25mn in size that penetrate deep beneath the surface of the skin. Nano CBD molecules are 2000 times smaller than pores, allowing for greater efficacy and easier absorption.

CBD contains anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, anti-aging, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties that aid in achieving and sustaining healthy, glowing, acne-free skin. Our Nanotechnology increases the active healing effect of the CBD up to 20 times. This enhanced bio-availability means our customers utilize every molecule of CBD they pay for.

The Mission

The Anti-Serum is anti-establishment.

Stop spending hundreds of dollars on expensive, celebrity-endorsed brands that only address one symptom at a time and produce substandard results. Ditch the harsh, chemical-laden, dermatologist-prescribed products that damage your skin and, in turn, your body.

We’ve got you covered! The Anti-Serum is for real people, inclusive of all skin types and conditions, and made with only the highest quality raw materials.

The Ingredients

It’s what’s on the inside that counts! Your natural beauty will shine, glow and sparkle thanks to our revolutionary combination of plant-based organic ingredients and Amplifi™ CBD. Let the real you shine through!

Every element of The Anti-Serum was intentionally selected to help keep the skin moisturized, protect it against acne, and improve its appearance with noticeable results in just days. Our products are vegan-friendly, paraben- & phthalate-free, and contain certified organic ingredients. We never test on animals—except humans!—so you can use them guilt-free.

We blend anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamins A, B3, B5, and E, and antioxidant-rich CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, and Vitamin C with over a dozen organic plant-extracts to create our uniquely formulated serum. This advanced formula combined with our Nano CBD amplifies the healing potential of each ingredient in an interaction known as The Entourage Effect.

The Application

The Anti-Serum is ideal for all skin-types and weather conditions. Whether you live in perpetual sunshine or experience the ebb-and-flow of the four seasons, incorporating The Anti-Serum into your routine could not be simpler: Apply a dime-sized drop of The Anti-Serum to clean face and neck prior to moisturizing, morning and night for glowing, healthy skin.

The Integration

The Anti-Serum is the perfect ally to your unique lifestyle. Apply it under your sunscreen before the next Women’s March; wear it under your makeup to enhance your glow; put it on before the gym to protect your skin from bacteria; use it as part of your Self-Care Sunday routine and your nightly wind-down.

For Alexander, who founded Kush Queen after working in the cannabis industry, education is crucial. It’s important to consumers on the differences between different types of cannabis-oriented ingredients on the market — for Kush Queen skin-care brand Defynt, for example, Alexander uses something called Amplifi nanotechnology that aims to make the CBD molecules smaller and allow for deeper skin penetration.

“I tried to pursue effectiveness, more than pseudoscience,” Alexander said, noting that Kush Queen products center around accurate dosing and are sold in many licensed dispensaries. (The company is based in California.) The business grew roughly 250 percent in the past year, she said, and just closed a Series A from Connected Cannabis Co.

That type of education and marketing — around the wellness and scientific aspects of cannabis rather than the cool factor — is likely to have more lasting effects, experts noted.

Summer is in full swing and as the temperatures continue to rise, your desire to slip into a hot bath may be dropping. Lucky for you, that doesn’t mean you have to put away the Bath Bombs. Those little balls of colorful comfort are actually extremely versatile! Like, did you know you can use them in a foot soak? Well, you can, and you definitely should! We also have a DIY detox face mask recipe that is a must try if you want help clearing out all the dirt and impurities that come with the summer heat. Today, however, we want to talk facial steaming! If you have never done a facial steam, today is the day! The benefits are through the roof and you will be left feeling so fresh and so freaking clean!

What exactly are the benefits you ask? For starters, the steam helps to draw out impurities such as bacteria and dirt from your pores. As you begin to sweat you will experience an increase in blood flow and improved circulation which is key to a glowing complexion. The aromatherapy effects will help to ease stress, release tension and improve your breathing. Plus, it’s hella moisturizing. So, if you are looking for supple, radiant skin, we definitely encourage you give our DIY Bath Bomb Facial Steam a try.

We recommend that you start with a Detoxifying Mask (like this one) or your favorite sheet mask to really amp up your self care experience and maximize all the benefits. Once you have finished your facial steam you will want to follow it up with a toner and a moisturizer. We are including two additional DIY recipes for our go-to all natural Green Tea Toner as well as our Cleopatra inspired Moisturizer. To really get the most out of this time we like to add in our Defynt Anti-Serum. This will help to lock in all those benefits while offering a boost of anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant packed goodness.

For Kush Queen, a CBD-oriented product line focused mostly on skin-care products, the brand’s Ignite CBD Lube, $49.99, was launched because founder Olivia Alexander felt  existing products didn’t appeal to her. With Ignite, Alexander aimed for an ingredient-conscious product that contained CBD and was made specifically with women in mind.

The brand also makes a THC lubricant, not available broadly in the U.S., that Alexander says can increase blood flow to the areas it touches. “That’s a whole different area people don’t want to talk about,” she noted.

“There is a huge note of feminism through our brand,” Alexander said, noting that the company’s lube has even gone out in Amber Rose’s Slut Box. “People have just been making products to sell to women, they haven’t been looking at them saying, ‘why are we using this, is this good for our bodies, how could this affect future generations?’” she said. Kush Queen’s lubricants are paraben and petrochemical free and latex-compatible.
