Likely, you’ve heard of hemp oil (often conflated with CBD oil), the purported miracle ingredient that you can find in everything from shampoos to face creams to bath bombs. And all hype aside, it really does work: It’s a rich emollient that’s been around for ages and softens and hydrates your face, body, and scalp. The market is glutted, and we’ve sorted through the offerings to bring you a tightly curated list of the best CBD products and hemp products, from luxurious skin creams to fragrances to sheets, that make great gifts.

“CBD oil, sometimes referred to as hemp seed oil, comes from the hemp plant, which is a relative to marijuana. It has been used for decades in skincare and is particularly useful in treating conditions like dry skin and eczema,” says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital’s department of dermatology.

CBD skincare products can balance out your skin without clogging your pores, and give you thicker hair — all without getting you high. The hemp- and CBD-infused products on our list deliver on what they promise to do, whether it’s to soften rough skin or give you shinier hair; we haven’t covered edibles here, since the FDA does not regulate dietary supplements.

The Best Hemp and CBD Skincare Gifts

Restorative Floral Bath by NATUREOFTHINGS

We first encountered this brand pre-COVID, when in-person meetings were a thing, and were duly impressed. The packaging alone is a standout, because each jar looks like a work of art and can be reused in numerous ways once empty. But it's what's inside that counts: Broad spectrum CBD coupled with plumeria, jasmine, vetiver, and cedarwood for the ultimate bath soak.

$150
Silver Rescue Cream by African Botanics

It's about damn time one of the best skin care brands you can buy got into the CBD game. And game-changing, it is. Ideal for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin, this gorgeous product combines full-spectrum CBD (cannabis sativa leaf extract) and colloidal silver. It's great for skin that's inflamed, irritated, and otherwise just having a bad day.

$140
Cooling Recovery Spray by Vertly

If you're a mom (or dad) who likes a brisk morning run or bike ride, spray this on after your workout. It's soothing, cooling, and tension-reducing, thanks to a blend of full spectrum CBD, and slow-extracted comfrey root.

$45
Well & Glow Rejuvenating CBD Oil by Switch 2 Pure

If you could bottle the perfect way to wake up, this would be it. Thanks to its sparkly citrus scent, it's a mood booster. And because it's made with full-spectrum CBD, it's also deeply moisturizing and can be used all over your body. Day and night.

$95
CBD Skincare Power Trio by Prima

You can't get much fancier when it comes to a CBD gift set. This one includes the Enlightenment Serum, which is made with 100mg of CBD. Plus, there's the Afterglow, a blend of four types of hyaluronic acid, plus 500mg broad spectrum hemp CBD and vegan collagen. And of course, Night Magic, which is loaded with 300mg of broad spectrum hemp CBD that you dab on before bedtime. It's all from a clean beauty brand co-founded by a veteran of The Honest Company.

$160
CBD Bath Salts by Lord Jones

Lord Jones is all about luxe CBD products. And these salts, which measure out to roughly 20mg of CBD per scoop, are a blend of pink Himalayan salt, arnica, and calendula petals; they have a very light citrusy scent that's refreshing.

$65
Cypress Bath + Body CBD Oil by Daughter of the Land

Refreshingly woodsy, this bath and body oil is made with 400mg of full-spectrum, organic and hemp-derived CBD. You can use it straight on the skin, or put a few drops into the bath. It's from a brand specializing in organic and fair-trade skincare.

$59
Organic Healing Hemp Salve by the Fay Farm
$22
Face Masks by Uncle Bud's Hemp
$15.70
Cannabis Hand and Body Wash by Malin + Goetz
$25
CBD Lotion by Lord Jones

Soothing, rich, and deeply moisturizing, this lotion has notes of sage, mint and green citrus. Each pump dispenses 1ml of lotion containing 2mg of CBD, and feels cooling and relaxing.

$60
Dirty Grass CBD Eau de Parfum by Heretic

Grassy, green, and fresh, this gender-neutral scent contains 500 mg of full-spectrum, hemp-derived CBD oil per 50ml bottle. The brand uses all naturally derived ingredients (meaning nothing synthetic in their products), and this particular fragrance manages to be both uplifting and calming.

$85

The Best Hemp Bedding

Hemp Bedding by Buffy

Not only does this look so pretty on your bed, but this duvet cover feels even better. It's made from breathable, soft hemp linen. And unlike other fibers, the more you use and wash it, the softer it becomes.

$199
Hemp Sheets by Buffy

Particularly perfect for anyone who runs hot at night, these sheets will feel cool in the summer — but also warm in winter. They're made from quality hemp harvested from farms in China and sewn with hemp thread, and the tasteful, neutral colors let the hemp's rich texture shine through. They feel like linen, but are much tougher and more durable.

$249
