Cannabinoids and CBD Cannabis beauty may seem a little farfetched to some but the increasing legislation of marijuana has allowed cannabinoids and CBD beauty products to thrive in the last year. But this isn't just a short-lived industry fad, according to New York-based dermatologist Dr. Hadley King. "It's very interesting to see the anti-inflammatory properties some cannabinoids have on the skin," King says. "Several brands are launching cannabis-based skin care products with this concept in mind."

CBD is the hero ingredient in all CBD For Life products, which include everything from lip balm to foot cream. The brand's founder and CEO, Beth Stavola, says that CBD provides numerous health and beauty benefits, such as reducing chronic pain, anxiety, and diminishing acne and wrinkles. "The legalization of marijuana has become a prevalent topic in the U.S. this year, so CBD-infused skin care, beauty and nutrition are more popular than ever before," she says.
