Distributors who are on the hunt for some new and unique products to offer their customers may want to give some serious consideration to the many CBD offerings that have shown up over the past 18 months. Creams, face masks, oils, capsules, gummies, and pet products can ease anxieties and relieve pain. While it may seem unchartered territory to many, there is a niche market for these products. And, this market is growing rapidly (it’s predicted to be over $5 billion by 2025), so it is vital to assess the importance of these products as they pertain to the industry.
Currently there are many mysteries and questions regarding CBD that may be preventing some distributors from selling these products, so it is important to debunk these myths. According to Michael Beach, founder of Highline Promo—a provider of an array of cannabis-themed promotional products—CBD stands for cannabidiol, an oil extracted from the hemp plant, and this is where the confusion sets in. Hemp is a strain of cannabis that has been genetically modified to grow without producing THC, the main psychoactive compound that produces the ‘high’ sensation,” he explains. “The oil is extracted from the plant and used in many different types of products.” He adds that users report relief from many different ailments, such as arthritis, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. “The 2018 Farm Bill legalized CBD in all 50 states,” he affirms. “So, don’t worry, this is a legit (and legal) opportunity!”
Highline Promo was the industry’s first supplier dedicated solely to branded CBD and cannabis products, Beach reports. The company offers the following CBD products, which companies can brand with their own label:
· All-Natural CBD Day Cream and All-Natural CBD Night Cream are both anti-aging and assist in fighting acne and softening wrinkles, in addition to soothing sensitive skin.
· All-Natural CBD Healing Salve contains the company’s full-spectrum hemp oil, organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, and organic essential oils. It is made using advanced extraction techniques from both flower and leaves. It is used for various ailments such as pain relief, muscle spasms, joint and muscle conditions, inflammation, and more.
· All-Natural CBD Oil Capsules are made using advanced extraction techniques from both leaves and flower. The capsule oil is blended with MCT oil. The company’s capsules are non-GMO and contain no artificial ingredients. Each capsule contains 25mg of CBD.
· All-Natural CBD Oil is 100 percent THC free. This all-natural cannabidiol comes from Highline’s full-spectrum Hemp oil. Beach recommends adding a drop or two to your morning coffee or putting it right under your tongue for better sleep, stress, and pain management. Tinctures are made using a blend of cannabinoids, MCT oil, and organic and natural essential oil flavorings.
· All-Natural CBD Relief Cream, a medicated topical CBD cream for pain, offers great relief in pains and aches. Beach says that anyone suffering from joint and muscle pain should apply and rub CBD cream for pain in the area that is affected for a few seconds and repeat use every six hours for pain relief. He adds that CBD cream derived from hemps are also infused with sweet smelling essential oils so that one is not left with any nasty smell after applying pain relief cream.
· All-Natural CBD Sport Capsules—Turbo Pain Relief CBD Capsules with turmeric root, ginger and herbs—are perfect for athletes and should be taken as a dietary supplement after a hard workout.
· CBD Cat Treats are made in the USA to calm anxiety or moderate pain. Ingredients include pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol (CBD), corn flour, wheat flour, natural flavor, natural tuna fish digest, cellulose, corn syrup, mono and diglycerides, lecithin. CBD Dog Treats also calm anxiety or moderate pain, are made from organically grown hemp in the USA, and contain pharmaceutical grade cannabidiol (CBD), wheat flour, beef by-products, corn syrup, glycerin (derived from vegetable oil), pregelatinized cord flour, gelatin, vital wheat gluten, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), bacon, salt, phosphoric acid, natural smoke flavor, potassium sorbate (a preservative), calcium propionate (a preservative), lecithin, artificial colors (caramel, red #40, yellow #5, yellow #6), and dried cheese powder.
Spas, veterinary offices, health clubs, and gyms are just some of the potential customers that distributors can target to sell CBD products to. Beach recommends distributors thoroughly educate themselves on the many benefits of CBD, so they can present these advantages to their clients.
