Industry Insights

The global CBD skin care market size was valued at USD 234.1 million in 2018 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 32.9% from 2019 to 2025. The market is majorly driven by growing awareness with respect to the benefits of CBD infused personal care products. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound derived from the cannabis plant and is one of the hundred cannabinoids present in the hemp plant.

Although CBD is found in the marijuana plant, it is both non-psychoactive and legal to buy in its isolated form. Conventionally, cannabidiol has been studied for its pain-relieving, relaxing, and anti-anxiety properties, however, recent studies have shown that it has therapeutic benefits when applied to the skin.Growing adoption of CBD skin care products by North America, supported by legalization of cannabis cultivation, is expected to further augment the growth of the CBD skin care market during the forecast period.

CBD is considered safe and effective for all skin types but is particularly useful for people who struggle with sensitivity, inflammatory conditions, acne, and dryness related to skin. Owing to these strong inflammatory properties, CBD helps in the skin’s natural healing process, lowering the life span of breakouts and eczema flare-ups. CBD also showcases potential antioxidant properties that can help in counteracting signs of aging. It can even help in reducing pain caused by inflammatory skin conditions.

The healing properties of these ingredients are expected to encourage the manufacturers to develop products infused with the benefits of CBD. For instance, Sephora had launched a special section solely dedicated to CBD skin care products in its stores. Moreover, Ulta Beauty, which is known for its large network of beauty stores offering cosmetics and skin care products, is also planning to dedicate a special section for such products. Some of the luxury retailers are focusing on introducing CBD infused product lines, such as the Murad’s Hemp Serum from Unilever, Originals Hemp Mask from Estee Lauder Companies, and Kiehl’s Cannabis Serum from L’oreal.
