Today we are back with another British CBD brand that we’ve recently uncovered and are super excited to tell you all about it. At The Amazing PR, when it comes to CBD infused skincare, we’re always on the looking out for the next best thing; and with the brand CBD Leafline what sets them apart is that they are both a formulator and manufacturer, and kindly sent us some of their range to try.
The brand is founded by CBD enthusiasts Paul and Sonia Shrive; where Paul, who had a lifesaving encounter with CBD in Africa during his youth, wanted to create quality CBD-derived products for others to share the same benefits of well-being. Thanks to his experience in manufacturing, distribution, and wholesale; and Sonia’s expertise in marketing and customer service, they finally launched CBD Leafline in 2018. After much research and development, their first CBD-infused skincare the Skin Therapy range launched at the end of September last year. Over the past few years, studies have demonstrated that topical use of CBD helped regulate the sebaceous glands (responsible for making you look shiny), reduce inflammation and is also a powerful antioxidant. All products in the range combine high-quality whole-plant hemp oil containing CBD (THC-free) with cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, omega 3/6 and amino acid. These interact with other anti-ageing natural and vegan-friendly ingredients, which are derived from plant and fruit extracts, marine collagen (seaweed not fish) retinol, hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin B5. All CBD Leafline products are independently tested (see here), and the brand is a CannaPro certified business.
The first product that we tried was the Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream and think that this will soon become your hydration hero, if like us, you have dry and dehydrated skin. The 100mg whole-plant hemp extract is paired with other powerful antioxidants like oat silk, plum kernel and argan oils, and green tea extract. This formula is also packed with hydrating properties; starting with our old friend hyaluronic acid together with evening primrose, shea butter, and a complex of natural oils (apricot kernel, avocado, arnica, and passionfruit); where these fatty acids that maintain the skin’s hydration are here to keep it nourished. The cream’s scent is a subtle and delicious mix of green tea and plum. To use, simply apply a small amount to cleansed skin in the evening, avoiding the eye contour and massage upwards gently working the cream into face and neck. What we liked abut this Night Cream was that in the morning, our skin felt soft, looked dewy and was slightly more plumped-up. The 30ml Skin Rejuvenating Night Cream is available for purchase at £44.99 here.
The second product we tried was the Marine Collagen Eye Gel and in this 30ml bottle the CBD dosage is 50mg; this works alongside the seaweed-extracted marine collagen to help the skin regain its elasticity. This Eye Gel is also rich in hyaluronic acid and avocado oil both of which improve skin’s moisture levels. While alongside the hemp terpenes, the arnica and aloe vera here tone and fights puffiness and dark circles . Use morning and night by dabbing a small amount of gel onto the eye area and let it absorb. We found that it glided onto the skin effortlessly and left the area feeling cool and refreshed; it also worked brilliantly for reviving tired eyes - especially with our constant screen fatigue! You can purchase the 30ml Marine Collagen Eye Gel for £34.99 here. All products have super-potent formulas and to get the maximum benefit from their natural actives do remember to store them in a cool spot (below 25°C) and away from direct sunlight. All of their skincare products are available on their own or as sets and bundles.
