Charlotte's Web CBD Catches Excitement with New Botanical Lifestyle Brand, ReCreate™

Designed for young and active wellness seekers, ReCreate is formulated from
NSF-certified broad spectrum hemp CBD extracts

DENVER, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - (TSX: CWEB) (OTCQX: CWBHF) Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc. ("Charlotte's Web" or the "Company"), the market leader in cannabidiol ("CBD") hemp extract wellness products is strategically expanding its portfolio of brands with the introduction of ReCreate™, a mainstream lifestyle destination for Millennials and GenZers with attractively priced broad-spectrum products that leverage the scientific rigor, quality, and transparency that Charlotte's Web is renowned for. With a focus on meeting the needs of younger consumers who value natural wellness solutions, ReCreate increases access to NSF-certified broad-spectrum CBD and functional botanical products versus synthetic cannabinoid and isolate CBD options.

"ReCreate by Charlotte's Web™ initially launching for sports and fitness represents the first step in its expansion into lifestyle cultural verticals," said Jacques Tortoroli, CEO. "The brand strategy is poised to capitalize on the growing trend of CBD infused functional botanical wellness formulations for self-care and mental well-being among Millennials and GenZers, who make up approximately 47% of a multi-billion-dollar CBD market¹." 

ReCreate aligns with the Company's partnership with Major League Baseball and its innovation commitment to NSF Certified for Sport™ CBD products. Charlotte's Web plans to promote ReCreate products as part of its league sponsorship across MLB media platforms such as MLB.com & MLB Network and at MLB Jewel Events including All-Star Week and the World Series presented by Capital One. The digitally native brand will launch its teaser CBD tincture on www.RecreateYou.com at the top of the season and release innovative new product formulations and formats later this year. ReCreate products have secured early interest from leading retailers including Fresh Thyme, The Vitamin Shoppe, and will also be distributed through Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, to be introduced this Fall.

"The shared ethos of Charlotte's Web and MLB's partnership recognizes the importance of an athlete's mental state in achieving greatness," said Jared Stanley, Co-Founder and COO of Charlotte's Web. "Through ReCreate's innovative products, professionals, fitness enthusiasts, and novices can revolutionize their approach to sports by enhancing a calm and focused mind, while also helping to promote recovery, sleep, brain support, and energy."

Millennials and GenZers are anticipated to become the largest consumer group by 2026² and often view sports and fitness as a form of self-care. They have experienced life during swift cultural and global changes that have influenced their view of wellness as a balanced state of mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. This includes their social lives, work/life balance, sleep, exercise, nutrition, and above all else, mental well-being.

ReCreate broad spectrum CBD extracts are derived from Charlotte's Web patented hemp cultivars. ReCreate's best-in-class formulations combine the benefits of whole-plant hemp extract with botanicals and other functional ingredients to help consumers achieve targeted experiences.

ReCreate is a mission-driven brand committed to sourcing organic and responsible ingredients, integrating sustainable packaging and practices, and creating strong community partnerships that foster equity in the natural wellness space.
