Today Dr. Millie Hernandez announced the launch of TEScosmetics ™ (Total Everyday Skincare), the only line of CBD oil skincare products designed by a medical doctor.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis that is legal in all fifty states. Known for its ability to soothe aching muscles, reduce inflammation, and brighten the skin, CBD oil is a largely untapped market ripe with possibilities. Research firm Brightfield Group stated: “CBD is growing faster than cannabis in the U.S. and will soon be a $22 billion industry. It’s been flying under the radar but is set to explode.” They also say this growth will have “profound” effects on Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) and pharmacy products.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, Dr. Hernandez went through treatment and a double mastectomy. She then decided to use her understanding of the links between topical and airborne toxins and cancer to develop a toxin-free, all natural skincare line. She spent the last eight years in product development, working with a team of scientists to develop a new skincare regimen that combined the therapeutic properties of CBD oil with premium organic ingredients.
“I realized there are too many toxic products on the market, and creating TES became a life mission for me,” said Dr. Hernandez. “The products we put directly on our skin should not only help us look better – they should help us feel better and healthier. They shouldn’t be filled with chemicals and fillers.” Educating people about healthy skincare is central to the mission of TEScosmetics. “I want people to be aware that everything we put on our bodies can be absorbed by our blood stream and affect our health,” she explained.
The TEScosmetics line currently includes everyface scrub, everyday serum, and everybody cream (a lightweight moisturizer), and can be found online and shipped globally. Eye and lip makeup are currently under development. “We are excited to work with retailers, and plan to offer TES in stores in the near future.” said Dr. Hernandez. In 2019, she plans to launch lip and eye products infused with CBD as well.
The CBD used by Dr. Hernandez’ new line comes from Colorado, where growers are regulated under the Department of Agriculture. TEScosmetics skincare products are never tested on animals. Its full-spectrum organic hemp-derived CBD oil is rich with Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins D and E, which have been associated with nourishing and protecting all skin types.
