What It Is
A CBD based body lotion full of high-caliber, skin-loving ingredients.
why it is special
Le Vesque’s signature ingredient, a high-quality Full-Spectrum CBD, works synergistically with other natural ingredients to make healthy, glowing skin. Le Vesque products contain only USA-grown CBD that’s C02 extracted and third-party tested. And it’s cruelty-free.
Full-spectrum CBD does not contain components to give a “high” or altered sensation. What it does have is natural beauty benefits, including the ability to relieve dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. [1]
Many CBD lotions have a hempy, masculine smell. We love Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion because it smells of invigorating grapefruit, not hemp!
In addition to a high-quality Full-Spectrum CBD, this lotion has an especially impressive combination of ingredients.
Ingredient Profile
Camellia Sinensis reactivates dying skin cells
Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil
CBD from Cannabis Sativa
Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil comes from the Cannabis sativa plant. It contains skin-loving cannabidiol, cannabigerol and antioxidant compounds.Cannabidiol Oil is high in Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D. [2]
This formulation contains 250 mg CBD. This can gently treat acne, skin irritation, and rough skin. [3]

Algae nourishes and soothes skin
Algae Extract
Algae is chock-full of skin-friendly vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Algae Extract as emollients, soothing agents, or antioxidants.
Algae extract contains polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are sugar-chains vital for maintaining skin structure. [4]
Algae breaks down with light exposure. Fortunately CBD Luxe Body Lotion comes in protective opaque packaging.
Royal Jelly
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid is an extraction from a fatty acid in Royal Jelly.
Royal Jelly is what bees make for the Queen and queen larvae to eat. It is a white creamy substance containing B vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes and minerals.
This anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant fights infections. Research shows royal jelly increases fibroblast action to promote wound healing. [5] It also heals acne, scars, and scrapes.
Meanwhile, Royal Jelly has anti-aging properties and smooths the appearance of wrinkles. [6]
Royal Jelly
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract is Green Tea.
Flowering Camellia Sinensis
Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [7] It contains phenols to strengthen collagen and elastin.
Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract also contains EGCG. Research shows EGCG enables the production of new cells in the epidermis and reactivates dying skin cells. [8] This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [9] EGCG is a potent antioxidant. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin.
As a topical ingredient, it evens the skin tone. It is anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area.
Simmondsia Chinensis
Simmondsia Chinesis is Jojoba Seed Oil.
It has a similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils which the skin needs to stay healthy. It regulates oily skin, removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation and soothes skin. Jojoba is soothing to the skin and softens wrinkles. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.
Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.
Jojoba Seed Oil
Cetearyl Olivate
Olive fatty acids deeply hydrate
Cetearyl Olivate is the fatty acid of Olives combined with a Cetearyl alcohol ester. A very safe ingredient that emulsifies active ingredients together within a moisturizer. It is a natural alternative to PEG.
Cetearyl attracts and binds moisture. Cetearyl alcohol is one of the “good” alcohols that soften, soothe and heal dry skin. It is an emollient.
Olive fatty acids contains Omegas 3 and 6, and polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that protect skin cells from oxidative damage.
Within a formulation it is not greasy like olive oil but retains the benefits.
The olive fatty acids give deep hydration, smooth skin and give the product a silky texture.
Sorbitan Olivate
A combination of fatty acids from Olive Oil plus an ester of sugar. Olive Oil fatty acid contains the highly emollient squalene. It also contains oleic and palmitic acids.
It contains Linoleic acid which has an anti-inflammatory effect. It hydrates skin to help stop wrinkle formation.
Olive fatty acids within a product base, such as this one, is superior because it gives olive benefits without the greasiness. It gives a product slip without being greasy or clogging pores.
Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter
Mango
A highly emoillent It’s rich in oleic acid (an omega-9 acid); and the saturated fatty acid stearic acid.
These moisturize, tighten, plump and firm the skin. It provides long-lasting moisture.

CITRUS Grandis
Citrus Grandis, commonly known as Grapefruit Peel Oil, is high in collagen-producing Vitamin C.
It has antibacterial benefits and studies show it reduces acne.[10]
As with other citrus oils, it is an antioxidant with an uplifting scent.
Glycerin attracts moisture
Glycerin
Vegetable-based Glycerin is a natural, non-toxic, vegan-friendly humectant.
It attracts and retains water in the skin while supporting other active ingredients. It fills in gaps in dryer skin which makes skin look better and keeps the outer layer of the skin intact.
Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
Coconut Oil
A fraction of coconut or palm oil fatty acids combined with glycerin. It gives a product a rich feel and creates a silky appearance when applied to the skin. Caprylic/capric triglyceride creates a barrier on the skin’s surface to reduce moisture loss and address dryness. [11]It can make greasy ingredients leave a non-greasy finish. A gentle ingredient.
Tocopherol
A protective antioxidant that lessens discoloration. Tocopherol makes damaged skin soft and pliable again while reducing wrinkle and fine line formation.
An impressive line-up, isn’t it? But even great ingredients can underperform if they are chemically processed. Le Vesque uses no chemicals and a clean harvesting method: CO2 extraction.
CLEAN CBD & CO2 EXTRACTION
The CBD in this formulation is harvested by CO2 Extraction. CO2 Extraction is a green technology which retains all the natural properties while eliminating any heavy metals and pesticides. CO2 Extraction doesn’t pollute the environment.
CBD is sometimes extracted by using harsh chemicals. This is cheaper and faster. But it strips many of the wonderful natural healing properties of CBD.
If you are using a CBD skin product that doesn’t impress you, then the CBD may be inferior and a cheaper, chemically extracted variant.
