Milk Kush products

Weed isn’t just for a recreational sesh under high school bleachers anymore—and we’re not just talking about medicinal treatments or pain management. The natural substance is here to increase and enhance your own natural beauty.

That’s right kids: marijuana is actually the secret cure to all of your beauty qualms. Irritated, acne-prone skin? Cured. Greasy, heavy hair? Solved. Thin or clumpy eyelashes? Forgotten about.

That once stigmatized drug that’s been causing so much legal debate and gotten us into trouble with parents during our teen years is in fact a game-changer to the beauty field. And, as recently vegan Milk Makeup has realized, it’s the perfect ingredient to keeping products au-naturel and cruelty-free, while still providing the same, if not better, results as harsh chemical-filled products.

Kush Mascara, Milk’s latest release is infused with cannabis oils, as well as it’s fellow natural ingredients like poppy seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and cupuacu butter. The cannabis whips the formula into a creamy texture, so that along with the nourishing, softening, and hydrating benefits, the mascara gives you the lashes you’ve always dreamed of. Not to mention that the mascara comes off with ease when you’re ready to wash it off.

Now, we’re not really talking about that stuff you’d roll in a joint or pack in a bowl. Cannabis produces two types of compounds, THC and CBD. THC is what will get you high, whereas CBD is a cannabinoid that will meet your skincare needs. The CBD oil used in beauty products is derived from hemp, rather than marijuana, so it is completely legal with or without a prescription.

So, with a low dose of CBD-rich cannabis oil, Milk was able to make the perfect mascara to those in need of both volume and conditioning, and in a way that doesn’t hurt animals.

“When we started talking about coming out with a fully vegan volumizing mascara with fibers, we knew we couldn’t use beeswax, a common binding component in mascara formulas,” the innovators at Milk share. “CBD-rich cannabis oil fuses the heart-shaped fibers to your lashes without fallout. Kush Mascara is the vegan way to get major volume and healthier-looking lashes.”

While Milk’s ingenious Kush Mascara will give you high volume and mesmerizing eyes, it’s not going to get you high. Your eyes will be striking but in no way dilated.

Milk Makeup, purveyor of very chill and vegan beauty products, is expanding its Kush family of products in honor of the holiday weekend. Tomorrow, on the 20th of April, you’ll be able to meet seven new Milk products specifically tailored to the hair around the eyes.

There’s White Widow, a volumizing Kush lash-primer that goes on nice and white; Aces, a waterproof version of their CBD cannabis-oil infused Kush mascara for eyes prone to perspiration and leaks; and five new shades of the world’s first weed brow gel, named MJ (cool blonde), Dub (auburn), Herb (neutral medium brown), Cypher (warm very dark brown/black), and Diesel (cool very dark brown/black)

Marijuana has been making the rounds lately, making a cameo in everything from weed tampons (which may alleviate cramps) to Cynthia Nixon’s campaign for New York governor (she’s made marijuana legalization a cornerstone of her campaign). No small wonder, then, that you can now find the green stuff in Milk Makeup’s new Kush Mascara. The brand is known for pushing boundaries, as well as coming up with some seriously innovative formulas, like its “invisible foundation,” so this seems par for the course.

But before you call the Jeff Sessions I-Think-I-Smell-Weed hotline, know this: You’re not going to find a dime bag in this mascara. Instead, it’s infused with cannabidiol, or CBD, oil, a compound from the cannabis plant that’s becoming increasingly popular in the health, wellness, and, yes, beauty spaces. Not to be confused with THC—the cannabis compound that gives marijuana its psychotropic properties—CBD oil can purportedly ease muscle aches and help with insomnia, among other claims. Still, the research is limited, particularly when it comes to CBD oil’s skin care perks. Only a handful of studies have been conducted, and we’re currently in the honeymoon stage, meaning the risks haven’t really been tested or addressed.
