Why women owned CBD companies?

As of 2018, women made up only 27% of executive positions in the cannabis industry. In 2015 they held 36% of the executive positions. More and more women are getting into the cannabis industry, so WHY are these numbers dropping? As consumers, we have to make conscious decisions about where our money is going.

Today we’re going to take a look at 7 women owned CBD brands that we love, and think you will too. When it’s time to stock up on more CBD, give one of these brands a try!

Our Favorite Women Owned CBD Companies

Two Cranes Botanicals

Two Cranes Botanicals was founded by two (identical) sisters! They both had their own journey to CBD oil, but they came together to create Two Cranes once they both realized how many dirty products were out there. They have 3 strengths of CBD tinctures to choose from, and they are currently working on something that sounds amazing. I can’t tell you what it is yet, but it’s going to be out within the next couple of months, so keep your eyes out!

Uplifted Company

Uplifted Company is a local to Austin woman owned brand! Jackee has put so much thought and work into everything from her tincture formula to the labels on her bottles and the droppers that make dosing easier. I love how clear and concise all the information on the bottle is, and all lab results are available online and easy to find. These are some really great tinctures, definitely one of my go-to’s

Moon Mother Hemp Company

Moon Mother is from Boulder, Colorado. I’ve been using their CBD muscle balm on some arm pain I’ve been having lately and it’s been really soothing and helpful! I love the variety of products that Moon Mother Hemp Co. offers. Not only can I get a tincture in a couple different flavors or unflavored, but I like that they offer different kinds of topicals and even a face serum.

Soul Addict

Soul Addict is a new age hemp wellness brand whose mission is to empower women. Laura has spent a lot of time and care in her products and you can really tell. The ingredient list in the Manuka honey mask is so unique and it’s such a great mask, my skin felt so amazing and nourished! The hemp pre-rolls too, so many beautiful herbs along with organic hemp.

Rosebud

I first noticed Rosebud on Instagram! They have such a great lifestyle presence. Even if you’ve never been interested in CBD before, you will be after looking at their feed. Alexis has a story that resonates with many of us, myself included. She turned to CBD to help manage stress and upon research, just couldn’t find a brand that had the quality and transparency that should be the standard in this industry, and Rosebud was born.

Exhemplary Life

Born from advocacy and education, Exhemplary Life was created after the founder was being asked where one could find quality hemp products. Today, Exhemplary Life carries all the CBD you can imagine: all different flavors of gummies, chocolates, tinctures in different flavors and dosages, topicals and even suppositories! You really can buy all of your CBD needs in one place and I love that.

Fine Healing Goods is another amazing woman owned Austin based brand! This tincture is flavored using a lemon extract and it’s absolutely perfect. I know this is going to end up being one of my go-to oils this summer in the Texas heat. That little burst of citrus is really refreshing! They also have a bath soak, body cream, and exfoliant that I’m excited to try, it looks like the ultimate spa self-care day.

Today we’re here with Drew and she’s going to show us one of her favorite recipes, a tasty and fresh summer hemp seed salad!

Thanks to the power of hemp seeds, this is is an easy and quick meal packed full of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, as well as other essential nutrients. This hemp seed salad also makes a great base for other ingredients. You can easily add more protein, like tofu, nuts, eggs or chicken, depending on whether you want a vegan salad.

With this recipe, we focused on fresh vegetables that are in season right now in Central Texas. You can pick some great vegetables that are in season where you live, too.

Have an idea for a recipe? Let us know in the comments!

Video screenshot shows Drew assembling the hemp seed salad, with arugula in her bowl, and hemp hearts, strawberries, avocado and other ingredients ready nearby.

A pioneering hemp company is helping to reduce cannabis waste and clean up our oceans.

Update December 16, 2020: Sana Packaging founders visited the Ministry of Hemp podcast to discuss how they started their hemp plastic packaging company, after forming Ron Vasak-Smith, CEO, and James Eichner

The cannabis industry produces massive amounts of single-use plastic. The packaging regulations instituted in many legal cannabis states make single-use plastic almost mandatory.

Sana Packaging is helping to change this pollution problem. In our new video, hemp advocate Cait Curley talks with Ron Basak-Smith, CEO of Sana Packaging. Basak-Smith explains how Sana started, and how they are pioneering innovative hemp and ocean plastic solutions for the cannabis industry.

Thanks to Cait Curley for filming this interview for Ministry of Hemp!
