10 CBD-Related Brands Absolutely Worth Looking Into This Summer
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 10 CBD-related brands I have recently discovered per personal research and/or story pitches received over the last few months of 2020, all of which absolutely worth looking into.
PACHAMAMA is an award-winning CBD company whose super-food tinctures and topicals are “Purity Awarded” by The Clean Label Project; for reference, Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is also Purity Awarded. Out of 242 best-selling CBD brands on the market and tested by Clean Label Project, PACHAMAMA — meaning “Mother Earth” — CBD is only 1 of 4 to receive said Purity Award, which is in addition to honors from the CBD Expo. The USDA Certified Organic brand also utilizes a proprietary air extraction method to extract its CBD, not using any CO2, hydrocarbons or solvents.
