Introduction 

Hemp-derived botanicals are making waves in the beauty and skincare industry. From serums to moisturizers, consumers are seeking hemp-based ingredients for their perceived soothing, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating benefits. But skincare is a high-stakes category where trust and safety are paramount. Certification provides the assurance consumers demand, helping brands stand out in a crowded marketplace.                                                                                                     

Industry Growth 

The global beauty and personal care market is expected to surpass hundreds of billions in the next decade. Hemp and CBD products have found a place in this growth, riding the wave of the 'clean beauty' and 'plant-based wellness' movements. Major retailers are beginning to stock hemp-infused products, and online platforms are full of consumer interest. Yet, as popularity rises, so does scrutiny, making verified certification more important than ever.                                                                                                     

Risks Without Certification 

The risks of skipping certification in hemp skincare are serious. Products without verification may misrepresent their CBD content or contain contaminants that could harm consumers' skin. In skincare, where consumer loyalty is fragile, any negative publicity can permanently damage a brand's reputation.                                                                                                     

How RHB Certification Supports Brands 

The RHB Standard offers a robust solution for skincare brands. By requiring third-party lab testing, RHB ensures ingredient integrity and transparency. Certification also ensures hemp seed oil and other botanicals are non-marijuana derived and free from harmful contaminants.                                                                                                     

Certification as a Growth Strategy 

Skincare brands with RHB Certification gain an advantage in competitive markets. Certification signals responsibility and professionalism, making it potentially easier to secure retail partnerships and attract discerning consumers. It also enhances brand storytelling—companies can showcase their certification as proof of quality in marketing campaigns, packaging, and digital outreach.                                                                                                      

Conclusion 

Hemp in skincare is here to stay, but consumer expectations are evolving. Trust, transparency, and safety are non-negotiable. The RHB Standard helps brands meet these expectations head-on, ensuring long-term credibility and growth.
