Recently, we have also seen a significant demand
for CBD skincare products as well. When it comes to
products that you are applying to your skin and will
be absorbed into the body, you want to seek CBD that
meets the very same standards as oral supplements.
Garden of Life has recently partnered with an organic
skincare company, and with Dr. David Perlmutter, we
produced a line of CBD Skincare products for those
who expect this level of care, quality and assurance.
Why Certifications matter for skincare products
in USA
The FDA has no regulation over cosmetics
in the US. There are only 13 ingredients
banned from use in cosmetics in the US;
while over 1500 chemicals are prohibited in the EU.
It’s astonishing to learn that over 90% of cosmetics
sold in the US do not pass the EU chemical safety
standards. This is why third-party organizations like
NSF are very important to look for when purchasing
skincare products. NSF certification standards
not only take the EU chemical safety evaluation
into consideration, but they also advocate using
sustainable, organic, plant-based materials in their
certified products.
Certified Cruelty Free & Vegan by PETA
This was a very important certification
for us and means that we have provided
verification to PETA that we do not
conduct nor commission any animal testing on our
ingredients, our formulations, or finished products
and that we will not do so in the future.

Dr. Formulated CBD Cooling
Rescue Cream
• Dr. Formulated with 200mg CBD (content per bottle)
• Made with Ayurvedic Botanicals including Organic
Wintergreen & Eucalyptus
Instead of using the standard silicones or fatty acid alcohols which are
mostly palm derived, we chose glycerin, silica and aloe juice to create a
balm-like cream consistency. The formula goes on beautifully and leaves
a non-greasy, yet moisturized feeling. It is a great balm which can be used
after exercise.
In addition to 200mg CBD from organic whole Hemp extract, this
formula also contains Organic Wintergreen and Eucalyptus Oil plus
other selected botanicals with complimentary properties.
The combination of the ”cooling” essential oils like spearmint and
eucalyptus with the “heating” Sichuan pepper used in Chinese
medicine, gives it a unique hot-and-cold feeling—naturally. The
appealing peachy orange color of the formula is due to the carotenoids
in astaxanthin. It also contains Manjistha – known in Ayurveda to help
with muscle soreness, Cinnamon Leaf – was chosen for its beneficial
cinnamaldehyde and cinnamic acid content, Clove Bud –which contains
eugenol a natural analgesic, and lastly Immortelle/curry – which is used
in Ayurveda for its regenerative and healing properties, plus promotes
healthy skin.

the soothing and healing properties of this cream. Ashwagandha and
Holy Basil—both super critical extracts are Adaptogens known for
their properties of reducing stress. Holy Basil is used for its soothing
properties. The silky smooth base of Shea Butter and Coconut Oil make
this cream very moisturizing. It is non comedogenic which it is specially
formulated so that it does not clog your pores. Licorice contains glabridin
