The best CBD products to fit in your hand luggage

We're open tomorrow at 9am

Published 18 April 2019

In a nutshell, CBD (Cannabidiol) is a type of cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, with the power to reduce pain and inflammation without the hallucinogenic effects of conventional cannabis. As the clock struck midnight on December 31st it seemed to plunge into beauty products everywhere, but to understand the variety of products you have to understand the difference between CBD and hemp: Both are types of cannabinoid and come from the same plant, however levels of CBD are, of course, much higher in pure CBD oil which is extracted from the stalks as opposed to the seeds of the plant. The easiest way to get your fix of pure CBD is to use an oil, but hemp oil, despite having no cannabinoid in it, has huge benefits for both your skin and wellbeing too, so these products shouldn’t be ignored as this trend grows momentum. CBD is now popping up in a range of products from serums and moisturisers to basic make-up. It’s not hard to see how it’s become the cult ingredient of 2019 - cannabinoids contain a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants, with hydration and nourishment two of its main offerings. Where better to keep your skin in hydration check then while on a plane, so take a look at our guide to the best CBD products to fit in your hand luggage, all within the liquid restriction, of course.

CBD Oil 10% by Kiki Health, £70.00

With 10% pure CBD oil, combined with hemp seed oil which has its own set of skincare benefits, if you were looking to throw yourself into this year’s trend head-first, this nifty little bottle is ideal for popping in your handbag to give your skin a drink of CBD wherever you are. As well as the cult cannabinoid, it also contains a full spectrum of them including CBG and CBC. However, unlike most oils that you place on your skin, this one is for consuming, and it promises a wealth of benefits if you put two-three drops under the tongue three times a day. Alternatively, you can mix it in with water or any other drink.

If you’re into slapping the treatment straight onto the skin instead, this lightweight serum with an ultra-concentrated formula is perfect. This time, the emphasis is on the hemp, which combines with essential oils to target tension and soreness across your body. Dispel any myth that serums must be applied onto the face because this relaxing product is meant for any areas that need relieving of tenderness and pain. The blend of naturally-deriving ingredients will make for the ideal pick me up while up in the air, for those with points of strain that may be made worse by flying.

CBD Soothing Serum, Holland & Barrett, £19.99

CBD Muscle Balm Extra, Holland & Barrett, £19.99

Containing both hemp and cannabidiol, this muscle balm is the best of both worlds, and has all the active ingredients to produce a cooling formula. Massage into the affected areas to help blood circulation and aid your muscles in recovery, with the CBD and Hemp seed extract doing what they do best – relieving tired and aching areas. Created with capsicum, this 100% natural balm is the perfect portable size, meaning you can perform an impromptu self-massage while in-flight mode is on.

This recent take on the year’s beauty trend comes from cult makeup brand, Milk, known for their hydrating and cooling face sticks, and this one is no different. Combining hemp-derived cannabis seed oil and glycerine, this moisturising formula will be the saviour for tired and dull skin. Glycerine in particular really is a super product, drawing in water from your surroundings and forming a protective barrier against damaging airborne particles. Blemishes be gone too, with kaolin clay pulling out impurities and grime bunged up in your pores. All you have to do to feel the skincare power is swipe the stick across your face, wait for five minutes then rinse off with a flannel made damp from a quick rinse.

Cannabis Face Mask, Milk makeup, £21.00

We recommend putting a small amount of this onto your face before you drift off into a sleep to try and combat that dreaded jet lag.
