6 CBD-Related Brands Absolutely Worth Looking Into
One of the most buzzed about terms with the health space over the past few years is “CBD.” Unfortunately it is not easy to explain what CBD — a non-psycho-active cannabinoid present in both cannabis and hemp — is to the everyday person. And on top of that, not all CBD-related products are regulated by the FDA. However, many medical professional are excited about the benefits of CBD.
Below are 6 CBD-related brands I have recently discovered per research and/or pitches received over the last few months that are absolutely worth looking into.
Need help falling asleep? B GREAT has got you covered with its Relax Shots which act fast to give you a good night’s rest and Focus Shots for when a boost of productive energy is needed during long days. The full B GREAT line includes Capsules to maximize relief from everyday stressors, Hemp Oil to calm the senses, and Hemp Body Lotion to nourish the skin. While the CBD industry continues to boom, efficacy and safety are paramount to the brand as unregulated products have flooded the market. B GREAT, on the other hand, sources its CBD from USA-grown, non-GMO, third-party-tested hemp.
First & Free, an American-made CBD brand from the Canopy Growth Corporation. The brand recently announced a new line of CBD Creams: Everyday, Motion and Revitalize. These creams are the latest addition to First & Free’s portfolio of hemp-derived CBD isolate products, including oil drops and softgel capsules, as derived from 100 percent USA-grown hemp. Each 1.76 oz tube contains 2500 mg of CBD, reportedly making First & Free the highest strength hemp-derived CBD topical cream on the US market. Formulated for everyday use, the creams are non-greasy and easy to apply. In addition, all three topical creams do not contain any parabens, sulphates, glycols, fragrances, or soy.
A leading producer of personal lubricant products, CC Wellness — also known as United Consortium — recently enlisted Vertosa to infuse its first ever CBD products under two signature sensual care brand labels. One of these labels includes LubeLife Water and LubeLife Silicone + Water Based CBD Lubricant, as infused with 100mg of Broad-Spectrum CBD per two-fluid ounce bottle and blending the properties of water and silicone-based lubricants. The LubeLife branded products of CC Wellness are indeed available for ordering online and subsequent shipping to all 50 U.S. states.
Also tied in with Vertosa is Caliva. Caliva recently unveiled Soul Grind, a broad-spectrum hemp-CBD unsweetened cold brew coffee, to the market. Available in Black, Mexican Chocolate and Vanilla flavors, each 8 fluid-ounce can of Soul Grind is composed of organic cold brew with 100 mg caffeine and 10 mg broad-spectrum hCBD, a delicate formula deliberately designed to balance the energizing effects of caffeine with calming hCBD. Soul Grind is available nationwide online, as well as in select stores in the Bay Area and Los Angeles areas of California.
As Caliva is a new kind of holistic wellness brand that takes a 360-degree approach to nurturing the mind, body and soul, also great from Well By Caliva is its Well Balanced Mellow Out Bath Bomb. This product ought to help you soak away the stress and mend body and soul, as formulated with 60mg of hemp-derived CBD combined with calming lavender oil and soothing peppermint oil. The brand’s Well Restored Moisturizing Serum is also of note and will restore skin to a well-hydrated state, offering a simple and naturally-derived formula, including 200mg of broad-spectrum hCBD.
Azuca was founded by Ron Silver, the chef and owner of New York City restaurant Bubby’s, which opened in 1990; Bubby’s now has 2 locations in New York and 6 in Japan. Azuca uses a patent-pending TiME™ Infusion process to make cannabinoids “water friendly,” which allows for a predictable and controllable experience. Typical products on the market take up to 90 minutes to kick in, but Azuca’s products — which ship nationwide — are made to take effect within 15 minutes of ingestion. Azuca also works with other retail brands to power their products, recently partnering with Wana Brands on its Wana Quick line. I had the pleasure of interviewing Silver for The Hype last month.
Tone It Up co-founder Karena Dawn recently teamed up with the creators of Milk Muscle to promote ALTWELL, a newly-launched CBD-Infused CPG line. So whether you are experiencing a lack of sleep due to increased anxiety, learning to balance working from home — with or without a houseful of children — or are looking for a mid-day snack to keep you properly-focused, ALTWELL has carefully-curated (and effective) premium CBD-infused products aimed to help with one’s mind, body and soul. I also had the pleasure of interviewing Dawn about ALTWELL for The Hype last month.
