There’s CBD In Basically Everything at This Point – LA Magazine

You know CBD has reached the mainstream when the doyenne of domesticity herself, Martha Stewart, jumps on the bandwagon (thanks to her pal Snoop Dogg, she’s launching a line of CBD products for pets). Even Barneys New York hopped aboard with the High End, a permanent bud bar for the sale of cannabis-related items, in its Beverly Hills store.

For anyone still unsure of what CBD is exactly: It’s an abbreviation of the compound cannabidiol—which is derived from either hemp, a cousin of the marijuana plant with very low THC (the stuff that gets you high), or the cannabis sativa plant, which contains high amounts of THC. Hemp CBD is legal everywhere in the United States and is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Products made from it can be shipped anywhere in the country, but it isn’t as potent as the CBD produced from marijuana buds. Bottom line: CBD won’t get you stoned or make you paranoid. But claims of the compound’s efficacy are so vast that it boggles the sober mind. CBD is said to have antioxidant and hydrating properties, help battle inflammation and pain, treat acne and eczema, repair tissue and increase blood flow, lower stress and anxiety, improve your sex life, and treat arthritis—all without any psychoactive effect on your mind.

The CBD industrial complex shows no signs of slowing. In fact, it is expected to grow from today’s $591 million market to a $22 billion industry over the next few years, according to research firm Brightfield Group. With companies churning out goods at a fever pitch, it’s hard to keep up, so we’ve rounded up some of the latest (and most unique) CBD products on the shelves.


Sleeping Mask

Slathering Kana’s rich cream—made of hyaluronic acid, lavender oil, and hemp-derived CBD—on your face before bedtime will moisturize and brighten your skin while you sleep, or so the company claims. $55 at kanaskincare.com

Lots of moisture-rich ingredients are packed into CBD Care Garden’s coral-hued gloss, including hemp-derived CBD. But the best part might be th e built-in mirror and LED light for easy touch-ups. $47 at cbdcaregarden.com
