Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
The use of CBD has massively increased over the last few years, with the benefits of products containing CBD becoming better known.
I often take CBD oil or a CBD supplement to help with my anxiety and I have also used some lovely products with it in.
CBD or Cannabidiol is a naturally occurring chemical compound from the Cannabis or marijuana plant; Cannabis Sativa.
Unlike THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol!), the active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high. Instead, it can help you to feel more relaxed and calm. It has also been found to help with pain relief for some people as well as helping to manage and relieve other symptoms.
EthicaCBD make high-quality CBD products to offer the benefits of CBD to everyone. Their aim is to offer the best CBD for people and the planet and they do that by ensuring the highest quality hemp is used to make the CBD.
The hemp is produced ethically and sustainably – cruelty-free, vegan friendly, and free from toxins and heavy metals – in optimum growing conditions and a nurturing environment. It is then quadruple-tested in the world’s best laboratories to guarantee the very best plant-based care and quality.
The range of skincare products from EthicaCBD offer moisture-rich formulations that are enhanced with the CBD for its restorative powers. They can help provide soothing relief for irritated, tight, itchy, and dull skin and return the skin to a healthier and more radiant natural state.
I have the face scrub and the night cream from EthicaCBD’s skincare range and they are both such beautiful products.
The night cream is thick and creamy and it immediately makes my skin feel so plump and bouncy like it’s just had a big drink of water. This CBD-infused night cream also contains natural oils; sesame seed, hazelnut, shea and hemp seed oils to help your skin restore overnight and longer-term.
After using it at night my skin feels lovely in the morning and looks good too. It’s a pleasure to use and my skin really does feel more nourished since I’ve been using it.
I love a good night cream. When I’m knackered at night and after taking off all my make-up and cleansing my skin, it always feels so soothing and even comforting to put a thick night cream onto my face and this one is my new favourite to use.
I usually try to mix up what I use in the evenings on my face – a mixture of oils and creams after serums, but I find myself reaching for this night after night. I love how thick it is, although it isn’t at all greasy.
Then we have the CBD-Infused facial scrub. I always try to be careful with scrubs on my face and not use them too often (however good it feels!) because they can be too harsh on your delicate facial skin and do more harm than good.
This ‘Cleanse and Smooth’ facial scrub, however, uses plum seed powder which is a naturally fine abrasive. It is like a beautiful, thick high-end cleansing balm but with added gentle particles which exfoliate the skin.
It is so gorgeous to use and my skin honestly feels incredible afterwards. It also smells absolutely bloody gorgeous and I can’t stop sniffing it.
It is gentle but effective and even suitable for sensitive skin that may not be able to take harsher scrubs. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight or dry at all, just clean and soft and smooth.
Unlike other face scrubs, this one is like a cleansing balm and scrub in one, so it effectively removes make-up at the same time as removing dead skin cells that stop us from looking our most beautiful and glowy selves! As it’s so gentle it can be used every day, both morning and night, although for me it’s an evening product to clean and soften my face at the end of the day (plus I want it to last as long as possible!).
The EthicaCBD facial scrub contains hemp seed oil which is nourishing and antibacterial to leave skin clear and blemish-free.
Both of these products use organically-grown ingredients and are vegan where possible (the night cream contains beeswax). Both are THC-free and contain no nasties either.
EthicaCBD is a British company and the products are made in France. They use as little plastic and as many recycled materials as they possibly can – even the labels on the products are made from recycled paper and the ink used is non-toxic and vegan-friendly, despite the fact that this means they might smudge a bit sometimes, showing how important these things are to them.
The products are packed in hemp fibre too, and they balance the carbon impact of the paper they use by supporting the World Land Trust, but they also keep looking for replacements for the plastic they do use so they can be entirely plastic-free.
It’s such a great brand who put so much thought, care and love into their products, which shows in the beautiful packaging and the quality products.
This is a paid partnership with EthicaCBD, but all words and opinions are my own. See my full disclosure policy here.
