The post Best 12 CBD Skin Care & Hemp Beauty Products: Create A Hempy Skin Care Routine appeared first on Ministry of Hemp.

In our ongoing effort to help you pick the best CBD and hemp products, we thought we’d take a look at a relatively new category: CBD skin care and hemp beauty products.

The CBD market is exploding, with sales of CBD products hitting $1 billion in 2019. We’re seeing new products on the scene, from CBD infused seltzer water (great in mixed drinks) to CBD infused pillows (probably just hype). Consumers need to be careful too, because CBD products are currently unregulated.

Despite the hype, there’s good reason to put CBD on your skin.

“Most problems related to skin care have to do with inflammation, irritation, and bacteria — think acne, dryness, redness, etc.,” noted Britni Jessup, owner of Hatshe, an active lifestyle CBD brand. “CBD has been shown to be effective against those triggers.”

Ministry of Hemp selected the best CBD skin care and hemp beauty products out of dozens on the market.

The hemp plant has natural anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and other healing compounds in it which can help improve the health and appearance of your skin. Even without extracting and refining specific cannabinoids like CBD, hemp seed oil has been prized for years by skin care experts for its nourishing properties.

Read on, and we’ll explain a bit more about why CBD and hemp are a good match for your skin care routine. Or you can scroll down to see our picks for the best 12 CBD and hemp skin care products available.

Why use CBD & hemp in your skin care routine?

The compounds found in the cannabis plant have the capability to tap into our body’s “endocannabinoid system” by mimicking chemicals that our body naturally produces.

“Our skin is our largest organ and it’s full of cannabinoid receptors!” said Maggie Frank, a national educator at PlusCBD Oil. “Putting hemp extracts rich in CBD on topically allows us to immediately and locally deposit the benefits of CBD, other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, amino acids and fatty acids directly to those receptors.”

While scientists are still studying the workings of the endocannabinoid system, and how it interacts with the compounds found in hemp, it’s increasingly clear that they help our bodies maintain homeostasis, a healthy balance. In addition the ability of CBD and other cannabinoids to reduce inflammation seems to work on our skin as well.

Hemp seed oil makes great skin care, too

“Different compounds are found in each part of the hemp plant,” said Sharon K. Christie, founder of Cannafloria Essentials. “Hemp seeds are rich in healthy fats that moisturize the skin and promote healthy aging.”

While CBD and other cannabinoids are extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of the plant, hemp itself has a long history as a valued ingredient in beauty and skin care products. Hemp seeds are full of nourishing compounds like amino acids and omega3s and omega6s.

“The compounds found in hemp have hydrating, healing and protective properties,” said Christie. “Hemp also works as an antioxidant that protects your skin from free radicals and sun damage, and it can help to improve inflammatory skin conditions.”

Buyer beware: Use caution in an unregulated industry

The 2018 Farm Bill fully legalized hemp and took CBD out of the control of the Drug Enforcement Administration. This allowed for an explosion of new and innovative CBD-based products on the market. However, while the Farm Bill put regulation of these products in the hands of the FDA, the FDA hasn’t issued any regulations.

“Due to lack of regulation the CBD market is flooded with products that at best, contain little to no CBD, or at worst, are contaminated with molds, mycotoxins, and heavy metals,” warned Frank.

Consumers need to do a little more work when they’re buying CBD or other hemp products. Learn a little bit about where the hemp was grown and how the products were made.

“Make sure the brand uses third-party lab-tested CBD, and ask to see their certificates of analysis if you really want to do your due diligence,” said Tess Taylor, owner of Taylor + Tess, which makes CBD-infused beauty products.

While we’ve done our best to pick only quality products from the best brands, we’ve also made sure to only work with companies that make it easy for you to look deeper into their products.

Best CBD Skin Care & Hemp Beauty Products: Official Reviews

Some CBD oils intended for internal use are pure enough to put on your skin. Maggie Frank told us she sometimes opens PlusCBD softgels and applies them topically for “itchy, icky, dry and flaky skin.”

However, each of the products below is specifically formulated for use on skin. These brands combine carefully sourced hemp and CBD with selected ingredients designed to enhance your skin’s softness, health and appearance.

These brands are transparent about their ingredients, and offer third-party lab tests proving the strength and purity of the the products. We’ve also personally tested them, to ensure they made us look, feel, and smell good. Every body varies, so try some of these products and see which ones can help you.

Populum Lavender + CBD Face Oil is an unexpected delight. Its simple ingredients make it one of our favorite CBD skin care products out there.

If you’ve paid attention to skin care trends over the past year, you’ll know that CBD is exploding in popularity — and for good reason. CBD, a natural compound derived from the hemp plant, is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Many skin care companies are now recognizing this potential and have started to add CBD to their product lineups. This is more than just hype. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties can be useful outside our bodies, just like they help many people’s overall well being when taken internally.

One of our Top CBD Brands, Populum took heed of CBD’s beneficial skin care properties and recently launched its newest product that combines moisturizing oils with 250mg of hemp-based CBD and lavender essential oil.

Populum Lavender + CBD Face Oil does not disappoint. It is uniquely formulated to do all the things you’d expect from a face oil, as well as provide all the benefits of CBD. And it has a calming floral scent that helps you to feel relaxed and at ease. 

We loved using this after washing our face in the evening. And it can even be a sweet, soothing start to the morning routine. After a couple weeks, our reviewer noticed some reduction in the size of some blemishes. And our skin was consistently soft. We love using the oil on our hands too.

Hemp and lavender are a perfect match for your skin

What stood out to us most about Lavender + CBD Face Oil is the lovely lavender aroma. It is reminiscent of a fresh field of lavender and mixed with a grounding hemp scent. It instantly put us in a relaxed mood.

Photo: A white woman with blonde hair applies a dropper of CBD Face Oil to her face.
We appreciated that Populum Lavender + CBD Face Oil only has a few simple, skin healthy ingredients.

Many people are wary of face oils due to the “greasy” feeling some give. This one absorbed quickly and actually left our skin soft the next morning. The CBD and lavender in this product are mixed with hemp seed and grapeseed oil, both of which are noncomedogenic oils. That means they’re good for your skin and won’t clog your pores.

It’s best to use after cleansing your face. To use, we simply dropped a few drops in our palm and rubbed our hands together. Then, we massaged the oil all around the face. A little goes a long way. It’s great to get a drop each under eye as well. It also feels nice on the neck and hands. It is best when used consistently and best for folks who enjoy floral, earthy aromas.

Here’s what we loved about Populum’s Lavender + CBD Face Oil: 

  • Lavender + CBD Antioxidants: In addition to the great benefits of hemp CBD, lavender has antioxidant properties which can help protect against free radicals.
  • Soothing Scent: Populum Lavender + CBD Face Oil has a calming floral scent that helps you to feel relaxed and at ease.  It’s the perfect way to end a busy day and help you relax before falling asleep.

Populum’s clean beauty promise

Regulation of the skin care industry is even looser than the supplement industry.

Companies are not required to test skin care products before going to market. According to the FDA’s website, “the FDA does not have a list of tests required for any particular cosmetic product or ingredient,” and the FDA does “not require cosmetic products and ingredients, except for color additives, to be approved before they go on the market.”

Just like the CBD industry, it is the responsibility of the skin care company to “ensure that their products are safe and properly labeled,” according to the FDA. While the FDA does require cosmetics to provide ingredient labels, many companies include ingredients such as “fragrance” which can be a catchall for ingredients not listed on the label.

This means that consumers must be especially vigilant when choosing skin care products. We appreciate the transparency Populum brings to the table. Populum, like all the best brands we work with, go much further than regulations require, carefully sourcing only the purest, safest ingredients.

Populum's Face Oil is only made up of natural 4 ingredients.
Populum’s Lavender + CBD Face Oil is made up of only 4 ingredients: hemp extract, lavender oil, hemp seed oil, grape seed oil.

Just four carefully-sourced ingredients

This is the perfect face oil for people who love a short ingredient list. Populum Lavender + CBD Face Oil only has four ingredients: non-GMO hemp oil, lavender oil, hemp seed oil, and grapeseed oil. 

Each ingredient was specially curated for its beneficial properties. Full spectrum hemp extract offers all the trace cannabinoids and terpenes that are naturally occurring in hemp plants that support skin health. Antioxidant-rich lavender helps is a natural skin care ingredient with centurie of use, not to mention a calming floral scent that helps you to feel at ease. Even the hemp seed oil and grapeseed oil are nourishing to your skin.

Populum verifies the quality of their CBD skin care products through third-party lab-testing. This means that they send their products to an independent company to test for things that should be in the product as well as things that should not be in the product. A paper copy of the lab tests is included with every order, which is an extra step that few brands take.

EngErotics is a unique company bringing modern science to intimate products. Their CBD-infused EngErotics Oh!Nectar relaxes while enhancing the sense of touch.

The EngErotics motto is “pleasure derived from science.” To that end they’ve designed creative and high quality vibrators and other intimate toys, along with a corresponding line of CBD-infused body care products. When it comes both to intimacy devices and CBD, consumers realize that it’s important to be conscious about the ingredients and purity of what we put in and on our bodies. EngErotics puts vital care into both their CBD products and the toys they create or curate on their website.

Eng Erotics Oh!Nectar works great for all over massage, whether your intent is foreplay or simply to relax and share intimate touch. When it comes to the pleasure-enhancing effects of CBD, it’s best to apply CBD-infused lubes or massage oils about 15-20 minutes in advance of sexual activity. As a result, starting with a relaxing full-body massage could be the perfect way to get in the mood while you wait for the CBD to take effect. 

EngErotics Oh!Nectar is a smooth, sensual CBD-infused massage oil perfect for enjoying alone or with others.

Treat yourself with “engineered” erotic devices & body care

EngErotics stands for “Engineered Erotics,” a nod to the engineering science they put into designing their offerings. They’re dedicated to enhancing pleasure while removing the stigma that surrounds pleasure-focused products like these.

The designers at EngErotics carefully avoid any harmful ingredients or materials. That holds true whether they’re making a CBD-infused body glide or a vibrator. We also sampled their “Conjurer 1.0” wand-style vibe. While many lubricants and sex toys often contain toxic ingredients, EngErotics selects only body safe materials. The Conjurer wasn’t the most powerful or versatile vibrator we’ve tried, but it’s very well made and easy to charge.

We sampled both EngErotics “naked” unscented Oh!Nectar, and the Petrichor scent. In nature, petrichor is the pleasant smell of grass and earth that fills the air after a good thunderstorm.

The scented body glide has an appealing floral and earthy smell. It was a bit too perfumey for us to want to use regularly in intimate areas. As a result, we preferred the unscented EngErotics Oh!Nectar, though both could be wonderful for overall massage. This product felt great on our reviewer’s skin. We felt both more relaxed and a pleasant if mild perceived increase in sensitivity. Though this product contains a lower dose than some, CBD can increase blood flow and promote relaxation.

Today I’m going to be reviewing some products from Inesscents.

Inesscents was one of the first organic body companies in the country, started in 2000.

Inesscents has a variety of body care products including skin care, soaps, and relief & recovery salves. All of their products have ingredients that are sustainably harvested, organic, and fair trade certified.

Inesscents sent me three different products to try out: CBD Salvation Hot Freeze Skin Salve, CBD Salvation Balance Beauty Serum, and their just released Colloidal Oatmeal & Lavender Soap!

I have been testing these products out for about a month now and I gotta say, I’m impressed! Not only does the company have great business practices that I look for personally, such as ethically &  sustainably sourced ingredients, but they have formulated some really wonderful things with some of my favorite ingredients such as hemp oil, calendula, arnica, chamomile, helichrysum, frankincense. Just so much good stuff.

CBD SALVATION HOT FREEZE SKIN SALVE

I regularly use CBD topicals on my neck, shoulder, and back. I love topicals that have a cooling or warming sensation to them. The cooling effect is the most immediate and longest lasting. The cayenne in this gives it a nice subtle warming undertone that is really pleasant. I’ve been using this daily and it’s really nice and smells great too!

CBD SALVATION BALANCE BEAUTY SERUM

I use both jojoba and hemp oils regularly in my skin care routine,  so I started using this daily. It has so many amazing ingredients in it that I have used in my skincare, so having them all in one product is a nice serum packed full of goodness. Hemp is non-comedogenic and won’t clog your pores. You’ll really notice how much your skin soaks it all up and how hydrating it is! The calendula and chamomile are extremely soothing, and tamanu oil helps combat redness. This serum has a nice light herbal aroma that’s not strong at all and doesn’t linger on your face.

CBD SALVATION COLLOIDAL OATMEAL & LAVENDER SOAP

I was really excited to try this soap out. I have some areas of my skin that are more sensitive so I try to use soaps that have ingredients that are calming. Not only is the hemp oil in this great for so many things like rashes and dry skin, but the colloidal oatmeal and lavender are both really soothing ingredients. The soap has a very light natural lavender fragrance. Not too strong and definitely not an unnatural fragrance, it doesn’t linger on the skin which is also nice!

Today’s video is about using hemp oil in skin care.

Today we’re going to talk about some of the ways hemp oil is one of the best things out there for your skin. Hemp oil is filled with so many good for you vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats such as: magnesium, potassium, Vitamin B1 & B2, Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids, and Vitamin E. We benefit from all the good stuff found in hemp oil in two ways: by eating it and applying it to our skin. Without further ado, let’s find out some of the benefits of using hemp oil on your skin!

HEMP OIL WON’T CLOG YOUR PORES

Did you know that oils are rated on a scale of 0-5, 0 being non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores, and 5 being comedogenic, meaning it will clog your pores?

Coconut oil is rated a 4, this is an oil that is very likely to cause clogged pores. Meanwhile, rose hip oil is a 1 and hemp oil is rated a 0!

USING HEMP OIL IN SKIN CARE FOR CLEANSING

Since hemp oil won’t clog your pores, it works wonderfully as an oil cleanser. Simply rub 1 tablespoon of hemp oil into your skin, then cover with a hot washcloth to steam. Your skin will soak up any remaining oil and it will look plump and hydrated.

The fats, or lipids, in hemp oil are similar to the ones found in skin, making it an effective moisturizer and protector for our skin.

HEMP OIL TREATS SKIN CONDITIONS AND REDUCES SIGNS OF AGING

Hemp seed oil is made from the only edible seed that contains gamma-linolenic acid. This substance is needed to regulate hormone levels and it can diminish hormone related acne.

Psoriasis is caused by a deficiency of omega-6 fatty acids and since hemp oil is chock full of these wonderful omegas, it’s very effective in treating psoriasis. It also hydrates and helps bring oxygen to your skin, making it an effective treatment for eczema, and dry, itchy skin.

Hemp oil fills skin with extra moisture and stimulates the natural production of collagen which helps fight fine lines and wrinkles, making this a really great anti-aging ingredient.
