CBD, or cannabidiol, is a hemp-derived compound that calms the skin and has recently emerged as one of the most intriguing ingredients in cosmetics. But what do you really need to know about CBD? What it is — and what it isn’t? Read on for answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Holistic well-being means sexual well-being, too

Nutrition, sleep, exercise, and a sense of safety are fundamental pillars of our well-being — and so is sexuality. Sexuality is part of our identity and a good life, but it’s only in recent years that we’ve started to talk about how much being sexually satisfied and happy impacts our overall quality of life. Holistic thinking is at the core of the Blank& brand, and sexual health is an essential part of that.

Hemp — the superstar of tomorrow

Hemp is one of the most climate-friendly plants. In one year it can sequester as much carbon as a 10-year-old forest, and it grows without the need for pesticides.

CBD Doesn’t Get You High — It’s made from Hemp

CBD might raise questions or even cause concern, as many people mistakenly believe it is associated with intoxication — but this is not true. In discussions about CBD, facts and misconceptions have been mixed up a long time ago, which is unfortunate considering the excellent health benefits found in cannabis.

Miro's story with CBD

My journey with CBD began in 2018, while I was researching the Canadian stock exchange during the height of the “cannabis bubble.” Most companies in the sector were riding a wave of hype, with little to no real fundamentals. But there were two companies that caught my eye.

Noora's story with CBD

I have worked in natural cosmetics for nearly 20 years and have always been interested in raw materials that can be both consumed and used in skincare.
