Marijuana Company of America Launches New CBD-Infused Cosmetic Product hempSMART™ Body Cream

Company is expanding its product line in response to higher global market demand


ESCONDIDO, Calif., July 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire - MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, today announced that the Company’s hempSMART™ brand has launched its new product called hempSMART Body Cream™.

Each bottle of hempSMART Body Cream is formulated with 300mg of organically grown, full spectrum, non-psychoactive cannabinoid (CBD), derived from industrial hemp. This revolutionary nourishing topical formula combines premium CBD oil with a unique blend of synergistic Ayurvedic herbs and botanicals.

“The new hempSMART Body Cream is a major advancement in the wellness arena,” said Paula Vetter, holistic nurse practitioner, certified herbalist, and Chair of the hempSMART Medical Advisory Board. “The cream is completely free of toxins that are commonly found in many skin care products and absorbed through the skin and into the blood stream. Instead, hempSMART’s Body Cream is a topical wellness solution that sets a new standard in the industry by improving the overall health of skin with each use.”

hempSMART Body Cream takes a quantum leap beyond hydration to replenish, restore and rejuvenate skin cells for improved elasticity, supple texture and healthy radiance. This innovative formula is rich in omega 3, 6, 7 and 9, along with naturally occurring plant ceramides to build a strong and vibrant cellular matrix deep within skin layers. Premium botanicals include organic aloe, sacha inchi oil, argan kernel oil, macadamia nut oil, rose hip seed oil, frankincense, tulsi, pomegranate seed oil, ashwagandha, turmeric oil, coconut oil and sea buckthorn oil.

“Our Company continues to dedicate itself to providing our customers with all-natural products infused with the highest quality CBD oil found on the market,” said MCOA’s CEO, Don Steinberg. “We are excited by this launch and anticipate great customer feedback.”

The hempSMART product line distinguishes itself from competitors through its premier quality extracts from industrial hemp plants grown specifically to provide the highest concentration of CBD. The exclusive hempSMART line currently includes six popular products: hempSMART Brain™, hempSMART Drops™, hempSMART Face™, hempSMART Pain™, hempSMART Pain Cream™, and hempSMART Pet Drops™. These products have all been carefully formulated to provide the desired "Entourage Effect," which is the most natural interaction the human body can have with CBD.
