Cannabidiol (CBD) infused beauty products are rapidly saturating the skin care industry. Small, boutique lines were the first to pave the way, bringing awareness to the consumer of the benefits of CBD. Today, major skin care brands are rolling out their versions, touting their elixir- like qualities across the United States in grocery stores, gas stations, truck stops, and even multi-level-marketing (MLM) enterprises.

To the average consumer, products containing cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) still seem to be shrouded with a sense of taboo and mystique. However, the global CBD infused skin care market is predicted to grow at a rate of 32.9%, which means it will reach a value of $1.7 billion by 2025. It is paramount for skin care professionals to have a basic understanding of what these products can mean for their skin care practice and how to incorporate them into the treatment room.
