5 LGBTQ+ Founded CBD Brands to Support Right Now.
We’re all about the benefits of CBD, otherwise known as Cannabidiol. The powerhouse ingredient promotes relaxation and can even improve your sex life. So to celebrate Pride Month and beyond, we’re sharing some inspiring LGBTQ+ owned or founded CBD products, from CBD seltzer to CBD dog treats.
Calexo
Feel chill and refreshed with Calexo’s award-winning, alcohol-free drinks blended with 5mg of hemp-derived THC and CBD. The brand was founded by an art and design collective of BIPOC, LGBTQ, women and allies. The Citrus Rose flavor sounds perfect for a warm summer evening, and we have no notes on the photo-friendly packaging.
PAWS
Could your pup use a little calm, too? With summer thunderstorms and fireworks displays, dogs can be extra anxious this time of year. PAWS is a CBD-infused dog treats brand here to help. Founded by couple Brandé Elise and Dani Gray, their products provide relaxation support for nervous dogs. The full-spectrum treats work within 30 minutes of being consumed by your pet for complete doggy zen.
Xula Herbs
We believe in the power of plants, and so does the team over at Xula. They’re creating tinctures, salves, and other supplements infused with full-spectrum CBD to help support balance, calm, and provide clarity. The brand is not only LGBTQ+ owned, but also Latina and Black owned, with a mission to use plant-based healing practices from their ancestors.
Peak Extracts
Founded by two openly queer women, Kate Black and Katie Stem, Peak Extracts is one of the most well-known LGBTQ+ brands in Oregon. The duo now has its own CBD shop, with CBD-infused chocolate bars handmade in their Portland kitchen. We imagine these treats would pair very well with our warm Cacao + Cinnamon-scented candle.
Malin & Goetz
Bonus! Technically this one isn’t a CBD brand, but we have to give them a shout out for their Cannabis collection, a range of skin and body care products with a rich and smoky Cannabis-inspired scent. The fragrance is spicy and herbaceous with top notes of bergamot, black pepper, and orange. Malin + Goetz was named for its founders, who are inspired by diversity, inclusion, and the energy of city living.
Can’t get enough CBD? Try our CBD lube with a mind-blowing blend inspired by our best-selling intimacy oil, supercharged with a mix of organic and all-natural botanicals and CBD goodness. We also recommend our CBD lubricant intimacy melts. For lubricating comfort and increased sensual pleasure, just insert five to ten minutes before sexual play. Check out our full CBD-infused collection and find your pleasure.
