The Booming Business of Beauty and the Bud

As marijuana grows in popularity, you can expect to see cannabis-infused products spread its reach across all industries. From clothing, to dinner parties, to beauty items — marijuana is a far-reaching consumer product that’s bound to make its way into your home.

One of the quicker growing bud-inspired businesses is the beauty and personal care industry, which makes sense given marijuana’s many healing properties.

Here’s a quick rundown of how cannabis helps:  

• Reduces inflammation
• Numbs pain
• Relaxes muscles
• Repairs broken skin

Given these healing effects, it’s not a surprise that the beauty industry is busy formulating, packing, and shipping out bud-beauty as fast as they can to meet increased consumer demand. Below are a few popular marijuana-infused beauty products.

Cannabis Infused Body Lotion

Cannabis Infused Body Lotion from Mary Jane’s Medicinals is a topical treatment to heal and nourish skin. The marijuana ingredient promotes circulation in skin while taking away aches and pains. The oils and vitamins work to moisturize and aid in skin radiance. These ingredients come together to create an ultra-hydrating and healing topical product.

Marijuana Whipped Body Butter

Whip It THC Nourishing Whipped Body Butter by Gemstonz is a thicker alternative to cannabis body lotion. Featuring natural oils, butter, and cannabis, this whipped body butter melts onto the skin to repair dry, ashy, and wrinkled skin while also providing mild pain relief.

Cannabis lip balms in a variety of doses keep lips healthy and hydrated.
