CBD Living Debuts Lotion Line CBD Living is adding to its line of CBD topicals with its CBD Living Lotion line. Offered in five scents — Relaxing Lavender, Soothing Eucalyptus, Refreshing Coconut Lime, Zenful Amber Bergamot and Calming Unscented — the lotion contains 200 mg of broad spectrum nano-CBD per 8-oz. tube. The lotions join CBD Living’s topical offerings, which include bath bombs, bath salts, soap, salve, massage oil and its Freeze Roll-On. “Our topicals line is a best seller for a reason,” said CBD Living COO Sean McDonald. “All our topical products are lightweight, nongreasy and use natural ingredients. In addition, they are manufactured using our proprietary skin retention technology, which allows nutrients to better absorb through the layers of the skin, and stay on the skin longer, for lasting relief.” The Corona, Calif.-based company said its THC-free products are made with organic hemp grown in Oregon and Colorado.
Socati, Super Snouts Partner on Water-Soluble CBD Pet Product Yooma Wellness subsidiary Socati is working with U.S. pet cannabinoid company Super Snouts to bring a line of USDA Certified Organic, water-soluble CBD tinctures for pets to market. The companies said the collaboration combines Socati’s expertise in ingredient manufacturing and product formulation with Super Snouts’ innovation, experience and pet industry knowledge. “We believe that water-soluble CBD drops are a great mechanism to deliver CBD to pets,” said Christy Love, co-founder of Super Snouts. “The drops can be mixed with food at mealtimes while the absorption of water-soluble ingredients continues to work in water-soluble environments in pets’ bodies. Most CBD pet products are oil based, but for absorption of edible CBD oil-based products — via the oral mucosal membrane — dogs are required to hold the oils in their mouths. Anyone who has dogs will know that asking them to hold food or liquid in their mouths for any length of time isn’t just impractical; it’s impossible.” The product — sold in 90-, 150-, 300- and 600-mg bottles — contains USDA Certified Organic, broad-spectrum hemp and comes in a vegan chicken flavor. “Innovating new and unique CBD products that better suit their users — whether those are pets or people — is an exciting business to be in,” said Mark Elfenbein, Socati chief revenue officer. “We’re very privileged to work with many of the most progressive CBD brands in the market, including Super Snouts, and look forward to continuing to leverage our formulations capabilities to help create next-generation products that move the market forward and provide users with great experiences.”
