Aethera Beauty CBD Skincare 

Recently I wrote a review for a book called The CBD Skincare Solution: The Power of Cannabidiol for Healthy Skin by Manisha Singal, M.D. and the wonderful physician who wrote the book also started a skincare line based on CBD as the primary ingredient. I interviewed her about the line and asked her a couple of questions regarding her products as well as tried two of them out and will be reviewing them below. Read on for my review. 

I asked Dr. Singal what makes her line different from other CBD skincare lines and this was her response: "At Aethera Beauty, because we are a joint venture with a lab, we have an extensive team of experts and our own team of chemists that are extremely rigorous with product development. We also only use the highest quality CBD and other active botanicals. It’s important as a medical doctor to know exactly what goes into each bottle, and every product has gone through extensive testing and iterations before it becomes available for consumer launch. We are non-GMO, phthalate- paraben-, sulfate-free, and vegan.

When the company was being formed, the Caribbean was being hit continually by one devastating hurricane after another. As a frequent traveler to the islands whenever I needed a healthy dose of “self-care,” I wanted to do something to give back to the places that I had grown to love. Aethera Beauty donates a portion of our proceeds to organizations that provide hurricane relief. As our business grows, we hope to be able to focus even more on this philanthropic arm and create fair trade agreements with direct suppliers in the region."

Aethera Beauty Sunrise Botanical Reboot Serum With CBD 

1 fl.oz./30mL $60.00

Aethera Sunrise Botanical Reboot Serum With CBD is rich in antioxidants, botanicals and infused with skin soothing CBD. It absorbs quickly and dries to a powder-like finish. It contains antioxidants such as Hibiscus, Acerola Cherry, Tamarind and Passionflower that help to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is humectant that holds 1,000 times its own weight in water and helps to plump the skin. Glycerin is another humectant that is helps to pull water into the skin. This serum also contains Vitamin A, which is an exfoliant. Vitamin B, to help nourish the skin. Vitamin C to brighten and Vitamin E to nourish. CBD is infused to help with inflammation and to soothe the skin. It is recommended that this serum be each morning and evening after cleansing and before the Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate or moisturizer. Apply 2-3 drops to fingertips and gently press into fingertips and décolletage. 

This serum is lightweight and very nice. I like how quickly it absorbs. It sinks into skin so quickly and provides a nice, lightweight plumping action to the skin. The botanical extracts help to provide a lightweight exfoliation that is not too harsh. However, the best thing about this product is the CBD included. It contains 200 mg of CBD per 1 fl.oz. It immediately soothes the skin and provides relief for any and all sensitivity and irritation that you might have. I would highly recommend this for any skin type, especially sensitive, as the formulator of this product originally made this for herself. And she suffers from a horrific skin sensitivity. It is even good for acneic skins, as it is so lightweight. 

Aethera Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate With CBD

1 fl. oz. $88.00

Aethera Everyday Botanical Brightening Concentrate With CBD is an antioxidant, oil-based, creamy formula that provides dense moisture and dries down to a subtle glow. It is infused with skin-soothing CBD. This product also contains botanicals actives including Papaya, Turmeric, Guava, Chamomile, Carrot Seed Oil, and Sweet Potato. Papaya, Acerola and Vitamin C exfoliate the skin. Turmeric, Guava and Sweet Potato help brighten the skin. Chamomile and Turmeric also help to soothe and provide anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin. For best results, use 1-2 times per day after cleanser and serum. Apply 1-2 drops to fingertips and gently press into face. Avoid the delicate eye area. Make sure to follow with SPF for daytime use. This product contains 500 mg of CBD per 1 fl.oz.

I found the brightening benefits of this product to be significant. Lately, with menopause, I have experienced a great amount of photo damage and melasma (all of my sun damage coming out from childhood sun burns). This did help to lighten up a good portion of what I experienced. I will show you below in photos.

Here are two photos of my worst areas, my forehead and left cheek. The reason the left cheek is worse is because of driving. That is a fact.

Here is my face after 6 weeks of use:

You will notice that I experienced a significant brightening on my cheek and some on my forehead. It also brightened up the post-inflammatory acne mark on my chin. I am 49 years old and this is the first year that I have noticed any significant aging on my skin. As you can see, I don't have any fine lines per se, just hyperpigmentation/melasma. Overall, I am very happy with the product. I think it provides soothing and brightening properties that most other products don't provide. CBD skincare is the future of skincare and quite beneficial for those with sensitive skin. 

I asked Dr. Singal about the future of her company and this is what she had to say regarding development of products: "Although we focus on development of CBD skincare, we decided to include non-CBD products to keep some items at an accessible price point. We also wanted to be certain to have products in our lineup that customers who prefer to not use CBD could use. As a result, you will see us expanding both our CBD and non-CBD skin care lines. For example, we will soon have two masks coming - a flash mask to address dullness and congestion and another with CBD to nourish and soothe skin. We have an extensive R&D team of chemists that are constantly experimenting with new formulations to come with innovative solutions to skin problems." 

The line is an innovative and interesting line and I think you will find it works out well for you. Aethera Beauty is available from www.aetherabeauty.com. Follow Aethera on Instagram: Aethera Beauty.
