If you ever wondered whether or not marijuana makes it past lotion and shampoo when it comes to beauty products…
Well then wonder no further. Marijuana is not only making it mainstream when it comes to gourmet food and spirits, but it is also making headway in the beauty products area too. I have to say I am shocked and thrilled, just a few years ago the only beauty product I could get my hands was hemp shampoo and sorry to say that it didn’t smell all that great. It was more themed for a man than a woman, needless to say, my husband at the time is the one that became a fan of my shampoo and conditioner set. Ever since then I have wondered whether or not I would get the healing powers of marijuana that I thought I so rightfully deserved. I crossed my fingers it would come in the shape of an awesome lip gloss or a shampoo (smelling other than a Calvin Klein reject body spray.)
Now some of the products range from being made with hemp to having CBD oils added to them. Hemp, like cocoa butter, is great for the skin and it is environmentally friendly, but some do have allergies to marijuana or hemp, so just like with most beauty products that you are new to, use on a small patch of skin and see if redness or irritation occur. There’s nothing fun when it comes to skin allergies.

There are many other products and companies out there that specialize in hemp and marijuana products. They can go from your everyday lip balm as you’ve seen here or they can be luxurious bath salts and scrubs. Remember that just because a product says it contains hemp doesn’t mean that it contains CBD oil. p{roducts that do contain CBD oil may sometimes only be bought at dispensaries by patrons that carry their 215. Yes, marijuana has become legal in several states, but there are still restrictions regarding products made with medicinal marijuana and bath and beauty products are no different. Hope that you have some happy shopping experiences when looking for the marijuana beauty product that’s right for you.
