Apothecanna Pain Creme
Body moisturizer plus pot equals slippery pizza party. But body moisturizer plus hempseed oil equals smooth, glowing legs. “It’s one of the more moisturizing natural oils because it’s got the right ratio of essential fatty acids that are compatible with the skin,” says Jeannette Graf, a dermatologist in Great Neck, New York. And if you couldn’t tell from Apothecanna’s logo, these lotions are loaded with hempseed oil.
Mary Jane’s Medicinals Lip Bong
The name says it all. The ingredients are legit: There are a ton of moisturizing natural oils—like hempseed, jojoba, and sweet almond—in this stick.
Hempseed oil
If you live in Los Angeles, you can buy pot lollipops, gummies, and espresso beans. In New York City, we have to settle for hempseed oil. It’s sold at Whole Foods. It won’t get you high (uh, it’s sold at Whole Foods), but itwill chill you out: “It’s very soothing and is used to treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,” says Graf.

The Body Shop Hemp Body Care
The Body Shop’s line of lip balm, body butters, and soap is also fueled by hydrating hempseed oil. Our fave is the pot-shaped soap on a rope, for obvious reasons.
Cannabis Basics XXX Body Rescue Butter
The XXX in the name sounds sketch, but hempseed oil and other pot extracts really do ease pain—and not just like that. “Hempseed oil and cannabidiol are soothing and anti-inflammatory,” says Graf. Plus, this body butter has arnica, which makes bruises heal faster, even if you don’t really remember how you got them.
Kánnactiv Cell Activating Exfoliator, Pore Balancing Toner,and Skin Clarifying Moisturizer
Cannabidiol (try pronouncing that) “is another marijuana extract that doesn’t get you high,” says Graf. It’s found in this new anti-acne kit because it does have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help treat acne. “Early studies show it could help regulate sebum production in the skin, but that may also make it drying.”

Defined Transformation Anti-Aging Serum
There’s actually a pot serum. OK, technically it’s a serum that’s infused with hydrating hempseed oil and soothing cannabidiol extract (CBD for short). The line includes a facial moisturizer, an exfoliator, and a cleanser, too.
Cibaderm’s Cannabis Beauty line
If you ever wanted to bathe in pot, now’s your chance. This line includes cannabidiol-laced shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Plus, body lotion and hand cream, because why not?
Foria
This product’s claim to fame is being “the first marijuana-infused personal lubricant designed for female pleasure.” So…this exists. And that’s all we have to say about that.
