For the Perfume Collector
Try: Ellis Brooklyn Marvelous CBD Extra Rich Body Cream, $125
It's no wonder this earthy body balm carries the sophisticated scent of a woodsy eau de parfum; its maker is responsible for some of the most loved indie fragrances found at Sephora. In this blend, cannabis sativa leaf extract is joined by grounding West Indian sandalwood, pine, bright blood orange and geranium for a body cream you want to apply everywhere. The silicone-free formula takes a minute to melt into skin, but when it does, it leaves limbs soft, but with an energetic change: pine bark extract inside serves as a dilator that brings blood flow to the cells, while CBD quells inflammation, an effect that registers as stimulating without the irritation.
For Those Fighting Inflammation
Try: Cannuka 5-Piece Travel Kit, $75
Two time-tested hero ingredients known to protect and calm skin? Manuka honey and CBD. The power duo are married in this line of no-frills skin care, which relies on cannabidiol (CBD) from isolate (in which oils, plant material, waxes, and chlorophyll are removed) and New Zealand Manuka rated with UMF 16+ (which ensures the presence of antibacterial and antimicrobial methylglyoxal). This kit is perfect for those cooling to nurture skin inflammation, weather caused by eczema, acne or other irritants.
For the Crystal Lover
Try: Mazz Hanna Body Melt, $58
Those who look for a vibrational charge from both crystals and their beauty products will find it within this sophisticated-smelling jar. Inside, a CBD salve made with clary sage and bergamot essential oils join vitamin E, beeswax, shea butter, and meadowfoam seed to hydrate and smooth skin. But the jar also houses a cool surprise: a carnelian stone, which is thought to help relieve muscle tension and boost circulation.
For the Person With Screen-Tired Eyes
Try: Saint Jane Bright Repair Eye Cream - 10% Vitamin C, $65
Packaging nerds will swoon over this gorgeous little jar of cooling eye cream. But we're smitten with what's inside: a whipped gel cream, made with traditional under eye care ingredients, (like green tea extract and vitamin C) plus CBD to help reduce inflammation.
For Those Who Don't Want to Smell Earthy
Try: Antedotum Elixir Firming Serum, $125
Skin care that leaves an oily slip isn't for everyone. Ditto for those that carry a forestry scent. Many CBD formulations carry both, but not this firming serum made with 500 mg of full-spectrum CBD/CBG. The creamy liquid carries a lemon-y scent, absorbs in a heartbeat and leaves a glowy sheen on the skin — all thanks to some pretty cool science. The formula contains two types of vitamin C to brighten and taps olive fruit extract and glycerin to create a liquid crystal veil on the skin, which works to lock in hydration and fortify its barrier.
