The 2018 Farm Bill is “very close to passing” according to
Collin Peterson, Rep D-Minnesota, and added with the recent
legalization in Canada, there has been a focus on companies in the
recreational and medical cannabis sector. But there has been a
shift in the attitude with people’s perception of marijuana, as
it’s viewed more than a recreational drug but as a wellness
product.
With the growing spotlight on CBD oil use for medical purposes,
it may be surprising to learn that CBD is being used in beauty
products as well. Scientists are discovering that CBD oil has many
other uses, other than for medical purposes, and when it comes to
beauty products it may be the most natural product you can use.
CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the
marijuana plant, has been used by several brands in products
including mascaras and moisturizers. According to Brightfield
Group, a company that specializes in cannabis and CBD market
research, CBD is the "next hot, functional beauty ingredient", that
may have a similar impact on the beauty industry as shea butter and
aloe. Furthermore, due to the increased interest in cannabis for
medicinal, recreational and cosmetic use, the CBD industry is
expected to reach an estimated value of $22 billions by 2022.
Evio Beauty Group partnered with Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB) to
produce a line of cosmetic products infused with Cannabidiol
(CBD). The partnership between Evio Beauty and Aurora aims at
creating a new line of approved hemp seed oil based product
formulations, as well as approved CBD based products.
Brandi Leifso, Evio Beauty Group's founder, and CEO said,
"The cannabis industry is uniquely positioned to champion more
women in leadership roles. With the strong support of a dedicated
partner like Aurora, we will continue to scale our female
empowerment initiatives while addressing pain points in the
cosmetics industry. By utilizing hemp seed oil and cannabis
derivatives, we can enhance ingredient transparency, reducing the
use of hurtful animal by-products and ecologically unsustainable
inputs."
Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (OTCQB: KHRNF) is the manufacturer of
Kuida, the consumer brand of Khiron's Wellness unit, which brings
the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) to a comprehensive portfolio of
skin and body care products for women under the Kuida label. On
Tuesday, Khiron announced that it had gotten approval from Peru’s
Directorate of Medical Devices and Health Products of the General
Directorate of Medications, Supplies and Drugs (DIGEMID) to sell
Kuida in the country of 32 million. This is in addition to the
existing distribution in Mexico and Columbia. The Kuida brand is
now marketed to a combined population of almost 200 Million in
Latin America, with other distribution in other countries in the
region pending further approval which will only grow its
distribution base.
Last week, American Premium Water Corporation (OTC:HIPH)
announced that it had signed and finalized a product license and
sales distribution agreement with Canyon Create Corp.
(www.canyoncreate.com), the maker of Vanexxe, a varicose vein
cosmetic masker, and Prickly Pear, a CBD-infused acne skin cream,
among other patented topical and cosmetic technologies.
Ryan Fishoff, American Premium Water Corporation CEO, commented,
“Canyon has a number of interesting skincare products and
technologies utilizing CBD oils. Vanexxe represents a category
creator in the underdeveloped varicose vein treatment market.
Prickly Pear is a unique formulation that uses CBD and related
compounds to attack acne, a market that has been lacking a
disruptive product since the development of Proactive. Canyon also
has a number of other interesting technologies that can be
incubated into very compelling consumer products."
In September this year, Sephora, the LVMH subsidiary, which is
the world’s largest global luxury cosmetics retailer, launched its
first cannabis-infused cosmetics brand called “High Beauty”. The
line launched with two products: “High Expectations”, a cannabis
facial oil, and “High Five”, a cannabis facial moisturizer. Cecilia
Gates, CEO of Gate Creative, an agency specializing in marketing
beauty products commented on the arrival of cannabis infused
products in the beauty sector, "When [the trend] hits something
like Sephora that's global and across the US, that is a gauge to
show the appetite of the consumer."
Estée Lauder's Origins brand also became one of the first
mainstream beauty companies to release cannabis-infused products
earlier this year. Created in collaboration with Sephora, Origins
chose its mask due to research stating that hemp oil has impressive
results in relation to acne, eczema and rosacea. Julie Van
Ongevalle, Origins SVP and Global General Manager, stated that the
company was ready to launch the cannabis skincare due to it
becoming more mainstream. Ms. Van Ongevalle stated, “We didn’t do
it before because it had negative connotations, but as more people
start to understand the benefits of it — even in medicine — it’s
become more acceptable. We didn’t want to shock our customers.”
As brands are looking starting to incorporate cannabis cosmetics
into their products, they are laying the foundation for more
cannabis-derived and CBD products to be sold by highlighting the
health and wellness benefits of cannabis and CBD related products.
With the passage of the 2018 Farm and other legalization efforts,
these players should be posed to capitalize off an area of the
market that has been overshadowed by the recreational and medical
side.
