Earthly Body has released EMERA: a hair care line harnesses the benefits of 100% organic cannabidiol (CBD) oil from sustainable, harvested non-GMO industrial hemp plant. The CBD hemp-oil-infused hair care products work synergistically with the body’s endocannabinoid system to deliver maximum moisture retention, improve the appearance of fuller, thicker hair, promote healthy hair and scalp, and provide an extra layer of protection against every day wear-and-tear. In addition to formulas being based in an exclusive blend of antioxidant-rich CBD, Hemp Seed, and Avocado Oils, each product is enriched with high quality, botanical extracts, to nourish, soothe and protect hair and scalp, and prolong hair color.
The five-product range includes:
Nourishing CBD Shampoo: Packed with rich nutrients and soothing botanical extracts to promote healthy hair from the start. This sulfate-free formula works to gently cleanse from roots to ends, leaving hair feeling fresh after use. Also, prolongs color, adds shine and reduces breakage.
Nourishing CBD Conditioner: Locks in moisture and promotes hydration with the beneficial properties of avocado, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil, resulting in touchably soft, silky strands, prolonged color and reduced breakage.
Nourishing CBD Detangler Plus: More than a detangler, this is the perfect styling companion, protecting against the damaging effects of hot tools, helping prevent color fadeage, and increase body. This multi-tasking spray provides powerful support to keep your hair looking healthy, vibrant, and shiny.
Nourishing CBD Serum: This lightweight, intensive formula absorbs quickly, to fight frizz and help make hair softer, smoother, shinier, and more manageable.
Nourishing CBD Scalp Therapy: EMERA’s signature care product works to calm and nourish beneath the surface by deeply penetrating and conditioning with its blend of nutrient-rich ingredients. As a professional salon treatment with hemp CBD oil, it has a powerful impact in helping restore balance needed for healthy hair growth. When paired with EMERA’s exclusive massage technique, EMERASSAGE™, it also provides a multisensory experience for ultimate relaxation.
The EMERA CBD Haircare products are naturally derived and free of GMO’s, parabens and phthalates, and they are 100% vegan, cruelty-free and use recyclable packaging. Five percent of all Earthly Body sales of EMERA will be donated to worthy causes through The Get Together Foundation, a nonprofit organization created by Earthly Body co-founders, Kevin and Mare Wachs.
