Imagine if you had a single skincare product that could not only make your skin glow, but could also help with the discomfort of dry skin, the itchiness of a big bite, and frustration of persistent rashes. We dreamed of such a cream and set out to create it in real life with the guidance of renowned clinical herbalist, Lily Mazzarella. This multi-purpose CBD topical is designed specifically for sensitive and reactive skin, with safe ingredients for folks of all ages and genders.
How It’s Made
We take things seriously when it comes to product formulation. It’s important for us to find the right collaborators, ingredients that are aligned with our ethics, and create something magical that will bring support to those who use it. Our offerings are made with intention and our goal is to ensure we’re using the highest quality ingredients. Cannabis has been used topically in history for thousands of years and in our personal lives for decades. We dedicated many hours in our home kitchens to crafting homemade cannabis salves and lotions using cannabis from our own gardens. We knew it was aligned for us to create a CBD topical at Dogwood to help further share the magic of cannabis topicals.
For years, we noticed we couldn’t find full-spectrum CBD creams in stores that were safe for sensitive skin or sensitive areas. Oftentimes the topical CBD products we found were full of essential oils that made our skin upset and on top of that, most of them left us with an unpleasant greasy residue. Yikes!
Outside of this, there were many other issues associated with CBD creams; Some had CBD were not full-spectrum, which meant that the benefits weren’t fully there. Lastly, some didn’t hydrate the skin properly, which is the last thing you want from a cream, right?
Our formulator, Lily Mazzarella, Founder of Farmacopia + and Co-Founder of The Botanical Bus, helped us make the perfect product in every aspect: texture, smell, weight, color, benefits, and ingredients. Her years of experience as a holistic health practitioner and owner of Farmacopia, an integrative wellness center in Santa Rosa, CA, provided us with the genius needed to create a magical one-of-a-kind offering. Our vision is a hybrid of the perfect face cream that doubles as a multi-purpose assistant to skin + skin issues anywhere on the body.
Each jar of cream contains Dogwood Botanicals’ full-spectrum CBD, grown on our partner farm in CO, infused with jojoba oil and organic coconut oil. We ship our organic CBD oil to our private manufacturing facility in Sonoma County, where it is combined with our other organic and locally sourced ingredients in small batches. Our ingredients are selected with intention + an emphasis on organic + biodynamic sourcing and 100% cruelty-free + vegan.
Truly Multi-Purpose, Family-Friendly, and Created for All Genders
Our hope is that no matter who you are, this magical cream will work wonders for you. We’ve made it for virtually every situation in life that can warrant some skin TLC.
Here are just a few examples of the cream in-action IRL (We bet they’ll sound familiar!):
- You or your partner has the sudden misfortune of irritated skin from razor burn after shaving. Solution? Apply a dab of our CBD Cream.
- Your child spent the day rolling in the grass and now has some irritation. Apply a little cream and voila, they’ll be happy campers in no time.
