Best Vegan CBD Skincare Products 2021
CBD – short for cannabidiol – is currently one of the most buzzed-about skincare ingredients in the industry. Chances are, you already know someone who spritzes on CBD oil every night to ease anxiety or applies CBD-formulated serum to eliminate (and prevent!) pimples.
While CBD is a natural ingredient, not all skincare products that contain it are vegan or cruelty-free. It’s easy to get confused. You see green, you think green. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Many CBD skincare products out there are harboring animal-based ingredients and not ticking the cruelty-free box. We’re not talking about 100% natural CBD oil in which there are no other ingredients. We’re referring to the beauty products that contain other chemicals and oils that may not make it on the “animal-friendly” list.
Truly is a brand built on cruelty-free ethics. None of our products are tested on animals or contain animal-derived ingredients. We pride ourselves on offering the most natural, most ethical cosmetics on the market.
Here, we’ve rounded up Truly’s best vegan CBD skincare products that are also cruelty-free.
WHAT CBD RESEARCH SHOWS
CBD is a component found in cannabis – without the psychoactive effects. Besides alleviating chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, CBD oil can be highly beneficial for treating skin conditions, too.
Studies on mice show that CBD can slow down the visible signs of aging. Other research suggests CBD possesses powerful anti-inflammatory effects which can ease conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
The research on CBD oil may be limited, but what we know so far is that this stuff yields results.
Take a scroll through our recommended CBD oil skincare products.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING VEGAN CBD SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Just because a product looks all green and natural doesn’t mean it is. Here are some tips for ensuring you find vegan and cruelty-free CBD skincare products.
- Look for Proof
If you see the distinctive “Certified Vegan” logo, that’s always a good sign as it indicates this product is legit. This certification, which comes from the Vegan Awareness Foundation, is the gold standard for all vegan products. Always look out for it!
- CBD Isolate
There are three different types of CBD oil: isolate, full-spectrum, and broad-spectrum. The one to go for is CBD isolate. This variety contains only CBD and nothing else. In other words, you can be sure that what you’re getting is the real thing without any additives that could end up being animal-derived. On the other hand, full-spectrum CBD may contain compounds like fatty acids, proteins, and more.
Luckily for you, all of Truly’s CBD products contain CBD isolate.
