Bob Marley is perhaps not a name you would normally expect to read on a beauty blog. For that matter neither is cannabis. But if you picked up a national newspaper this week, the reason I mention both here may not be too surprising.
The family of Bob Marley has got together with private equity firm Privateer Holdings to launch the world’s first global cannabis brand. Marley Natural will offer premium cannabis products that honour the life and legacy of the late reggae legend, who was known to enjoy ‘the herb’, as he called it.
Not surprisingly the news got picked up widely by the media and if you read beyond the headlines you will have discovered that the brand’s products are to include a line of topicals – yes skincare!
According to the Marley Natural website, the venture will offer, among its various product offerings, “cannabis- and hemp-infused topicals, including sun repair creams and balms containing Jamaican botanicals such as aloe and coconut”.

Marley felt cannabis brought him inner peace and furthered his creativity. “When you smoke the herb it reveals you to yourself,” he said.
But before you all get too excited, or outraged, depending on which side of the cannabis argument you stand on, the products will only ship to areas where pot is legal!
