Our Go-To CBD Products For 2023

With so many CBD products on the market, it can be hard to find what’s right for you. And, with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to treat the moms in your life to a CBD gift that will keep on giving. So, here are the CBD products we can personally vouch for. They’re the best CBD products we’ve found for sleep, relaxation, beautiful skin, and pain relief. You’ll note that many of them were also on our 2022 list. What can we say—when something works, it works!

#1 Tonic Chronic Blend Bath Soak

Looking for a new way to relax? Tonic’s Chronic Blend Bath Soak is the perfect addition to your routine! Kristina, House of Puff’s founder, loves this bath soak above all other CBD products. “Tonic’s bath soak makes my body feel like a bowl of jello. It literally washes my aches and stress away!”

Supercharge Your Bath With CBD Products

Tonic’s bath soak is made with full-spectrum, single-origin hemp extract and a powerful selection of essential oils to provide the full body relief you deserve. Also, it softens your skin, leaving you with a silky smooth feel you’ll just love. And the best part? Its relaxing and soothing scent won’t overpower your senses. This CBD product is made with a blend of pink Himalayan Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, and Dead Sea Salt. It’s also infused with full-spectrum hemp extract from Tricolla Farms in upstate New York.

#2 Plant Juice’s Chill Out Cooling Spray

Let’s talk menopause. It may not be your first instinct to reach for CBD products when suffering from hot flashes. But Plant Juice’s Chill Out Cooling Spray is going to change that. Their refreshing blend of CBD, Peppermint, Clary Sage, Lavender, and Lemon is not only effective but also smells fantastic. And, it’s easy to use! According to Holly, our COO, “A couple spritzes instantly cool the heat and sweatiness of hot flashes—it’s a godsend.”

CBD Products That Cool You Down

CBD products specifically for menopause symptoms are still few and far between. But Chill Out spray is changing the game when it comes to hot flashes. It could also help with the discomfort of mild fevers, too. We don’t always want to wait for oral medications to kick in. So, this special blend of oils and CBD is super fast-acting. So, we absolutely love the immediate relief Chill Out offers!

#3 Hemplucid Stress Gummies

It’s a fast-paced world, and life gets hectic. So many CBD products on the market claim to ease stress. That means trying to figure out which product is right for you can be even more stressful. But have no fear—we’ve found just the thing to help take the edge off. HempLucid’s Stress watermelon flavored gummies are the perfect way to reduce stress without leaving you either groggy or foggy.

End Your Day With Stress-Free CBD Products

If you’re looking to wind down with CBD products that reduce stress and taste great, don’t skip HempLucid’s gummies. Emma, our hardworking head of business development, takes these daily as part of her nighttime routine. She finds that, “the combination of CBD, GABA, ashwagandha and functional mushrooms provides a perfect blend for end of day winding down. One of these gummies combined with a little puff of cannabis from my House of Puff Le Pipe is a perfect alcohol replacement for my end of day relaxation routine.” The all-natural adaptogens in this blend can help your body cope with the effects of negative stress. And, of course, that boosts your overall resilience. Pretty cool, right?

#4 Flor de Maria CBD Chocolate

Most chocolate edibles taste less like chocolate and more like weed. But Flor de Maria has changed that. Not only are their CBD chocolates packed with CBD, they’re also some of the most delicious chocolates we’ve ever tasted. Whether you’re treating yourself or looking for the perfect gift, Flor de Maria is the way to go. And they’re so beautiful that they make wonderful gifts.

Chocolate That Rivals The World’s Best

Through our travels, we’ve sampled some of the world’s finest chocolate—from Finland’s Karl Fazer to Japan’s Royce. Still, Flor de Maria holds its own against all of them. That’s because the founder sources their chocolate from his native Venezuela. Each bar is also packed with 120mg of relaxing full-spectrum CBD. That’s a LOT! Kristina’s husband ate a whole one and woke up hours later on the couch. 😂 While all of their products are truly delectable, we adore their Ghost Pepper Caramel—it’s a total winner in our books!

#5 oHHo CBDaytime Chocolate

If you’re looking for CBD products that won’t make you wonder if it’s bedtime yet, oHHo’s CBDaytime Chocolate is the one for you! According to Cassie, one of our uber-productive relationship managers, “oHHo CBDay Chocolates give me that little boost to tick things off my to-do list all day. Plus, it’s delicious—a perfect treat.”

What Makes These CBD Products Special

Beautifully packaged, oHHo’S creamy salted caramel bars are infused with 200mg of sustainably sourced CBD. To cater to everyone’s tastes, they also come in light and dark chocolate. Don’t worry, though, this CBD shouldn’t make you feel like jumping under the covers again. Instead, it’s meant to sharpen your focus. Plus, it might help reduce anxiety and inflammation, too. And there’s more! The cocoa in this CBD product is packed with antioxidants that can boost heart health, improve blood flow as well as protect both your skin and teeth.

#6 oHHo New York CBD Oil

Let’s get back to CBD and sleep for a minute. In a post-COVID world, we’re more aware than ever of how important it is to prioritize your sleep. There’s nothing more critical to your overall health than a good night’s rest. That’s because a lack of sleep can cause underlying health conditions to develop or worsen.

The Difference Between CBD Products And Big Pharma Meds

CBD products can be a godsend for sleep. Over the years, we’ve tried just about everything—from prescription medications like Xanax and Ambien to over-the-counter options like Benadryl. Unfortunately, we’ve found that most of Big Pharma’s solutions have unpleasant side effects. Xanax isn’t recommended as a long-term solution by our doctors because it’s highly addictive. Meanwhile, Ambien can cause bizarre dreams and sleepwalking. Benadryl, on the other hand, leaves us feeling sluggish and groggy in the morning. But oHHo’s New York CBD oil is a natural, effective solution that doesn’t come with any of those unwelcome side effects. It works wonders to help us achieve deep, restful sleep, night after night. Even better, it’s safe for you and your pets. Sprinkle a few drops on your fuzzy friend’s treats to aid their recovery from any health issues. Since you can try it yourself first, you’ll have a much better idea of how much to give them.

#7 Flora Sophia Botanicals 1200mg CBD Salve

CBD products have gotten a lot of media attention because of their popularity with professional athletes as pain management and recovery tools. When you consider the potential risks involved in using cannabis products as an athlete, that means they recognize CBD’s benefits as truly significant. (We stand with you, Brittney!). We’ve personally experienced how CBD can help us perform at our best and provide natural relief for pain and soreness.

Why Use A CBD Salve?

It’s not always a viable option to consume THC or other intoxicating painkillers to alleviate pain that won’t quit. For those of us who need to stay alert and productive throughout the day, that’s where CBD topicals come in. You can use a high dose all day long to target those painful areas without affecting your ability to function.

The Benefit Of Full-Spectrum CBD Products

Flora Sophia’s 1200mg CBD Salve has been a lifesaver for us. Its unique peppermint scent is both refreshing and relaxing. Plus, it includes arnica. Most importantly, this salve boasts a more highly concentrated formula than any other topical we’ve been able to find on the market. Holly swears by it. “It’s like Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I use it for everything—from inflamed joints to achy muscles and bruises. It never fails me for pain relief and faster healing.”

#8 707 Flora’s Youth Boost Serum

For reviving your skin’s glory, we love 707 Flora’s Youth Boost Serum. The science behind this serum is what makes it so unique. Unlike other serums, this CBD product targets the cells below the skin’s surface to refine its texture and reduce those fine lines we love to hate. No dry retinol flaking. Instead, just soothing hydration.

CBD Products That Are True To Their Name

We’ve found that 707 Flora’s Youth Boost Serum is one of those CBD products that truly lives up to its name. It feels great going on—the perfect light base for your night cream. More importantly, after using it for just a few weeks, we saw a noticeable improvement in our skin. From smoother texture, fewer fine lines, and an overall glow, it made us feel like a million bucks! And all that without having to break the bank.

#9 Plant People Nourish Body Lotion

There are few things we love more than a hot shower, wrapping our hair up in a towel, and applying massive amounts of Plant People Body Lotion. It’s one of our absolute favorite CBD products. This whipped lotion is made with full-spectrum extract and contains more than 10 types of potent botanicals. It also packs 1% hyaluronic acid to keep your skin tight and looking fresh. And, the fact that it’s whipped is one of our favorite things about it. Applying it right after you shower helps the lotion absorb more deeply into your skin. It’s also packed with calendula flower, which reduces the appearance of irritation and stimulates that collagen we, oh, so need. It’s also got other fabulous ingredients like sunflower oil and yuzu, which makes it smell wonderful.

Our Hands Need Love From CBD Products, Too

With all the hand washing going on these days, we also love to apply this lotion after we wash or sanitize our hands. But don’t worry about touching your phone or throwing on a jacket right afterwards. There’s no stickiness whatsoever!

#10 Xula’s Solo Hemp Relief Drops

Most of us use CBD products for their wellness benefits. What makes Xula’s Solo Hemp Relief Drops stand out is their inclusion of CBG, too. Their relief drops have a 1:1 ratio of CBD and CBG. Short for cannabigerol, CBG is just another part of the plant.  While CBD can ease anxiety, CBG could amplify that with uplifting effects. So, Xula’s relief drops combine these two cannabinoids to maximize stress relief and boost your mood. Each dose is 650mg of CBD and CBG. Just place the drops under your tongue. Or, if that’s not your vibe, you can also mix them into your drink of choice. Either way, you’ll be on your way to feeling your best self.

Ethical And Effective CBD Products

Xula is a Latina and Black-owned brand with roots in Mexico City. Part of their mission is to dignify, amplify, and revive all bodies. So, when we shop Xula’s CBD products, we feel doubly great. We’re both supporting our health and a brand that’s committed to doing good in the world.
