CBD Beauty is Blossoming, say Analysts at Jefferies

PALM BEACH, Florida, June 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recent industry article published this year, Jefferies analysts, after initiating coverage on the cannabis markets, followed up with additional coverage specific to the CBD industry and in particular CBD beauty products.  The article suggests Jefferies believes the CBD beauty market could reach $25 Billion globally in the next 10 years and could even amass 15 percent of the total skincare market.  The incredible potential of the CBD beauty market is thought to be enormous, given the possibility that many products could be sold over the counter and without the need for a prescription, clearly allowing consumers access to the products easily. CBD beauty products have quickly become all the rage now that industry analysts estimate it could be an entirely separate category from both recreational and medical marijuana. That's opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF),  Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB) (OTC:GGBXF), Aleafia Health (TSX-V:ALEF) (OTC:ALEAF), Curaleaf Holdings Inc. (CSE:CURA) (OTC:CURLF), and Westleaf Inc. (TSX-V:WL) (OTC:WSLFF).

The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS)(OTCQB:BOSQF) BREAKING NEWS: The Yield Growth Corp. just announced that will be launching Urban Juve CBD Skin Essentials—a new line of full-spectrum CBD-infused skin care products, in the fall. The new line will be made with certified organic, full-spectrum CBD distillate and Urban Juve's proprietary hemp root oil to maximize skin renewal.  "We know that skin care brands need to stand out in a crowded marketplace, and Urban Juve does just that," says Thomas Bond, Director of Yield Growth, and former COO of MAC Cosmetics. "The formulations are beautiful, and with the addition of CBD, we're meeting the massive demand from wellness-minded consumers."
