Kiskanu Hemp Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 9, 2021

The tide is turning with CBD topicals. For consumers (like us) who are turning to cannabidiol to supplement our health regimens, the last thing we want are synthetic and potentially harmful ingredients. Topical CBD products have been notorious offenders, but things are changing with vendors like Kiskanu Hemp. This skincare brand takes all-natural even further by offering mostly certified-organic ingredients and displaying an honorable level of transparency.

Kiskanu Hemp is a family owned and operated business hailing from beautiful Northern California. The name ‘kiskanu’ refers to a sacred tree in Sumeria thought by some to be the Tree of Life in biblical Eden. The idea is that CBD hemp is a healing gift, one that Kiskanu takes seriously.

They claim to have over 20 years of experience in the cannabis sector, with a primary focus on quality and consistency. Kiskanu Hemp produces in small batches (a good indicator of quality), and their formulations are created by a certified herbalist. In fact, the company offers consultation services where a staff herbalist customizes a CBD treatment plan just for you.

What makes Kiskanu stand out in the CBD skincare space is their ardent commitment to both certified organic ingredients and transparency. We’ll explain…

Kiskanu uses a base of cold-pressed organic oils in each of their CBD skincare products with goodies like argan oil and jojoba oil. Every single ingredient in these CBD topicals is certified organic, with the exception of their foraged wild seed carrot oil and CBD oil itself. Unlike other companies, Kiskanu does not claim to use organic CBD. Only a couple of U.S. vendors have the USDA organic certification for their CBD oil, but many of them still claim their CBD is organic. Kiskanu doesn’t; they’re honest and they’re quality.

On top of that, each product description online contains everything we want to know about a cannabidiol topical, but seldom receive, especially all in one place. Kiskanu tells you the ingredients, directions, and links to a current Certificate of Analysis. Plus, there’s a link to an FAQ card with even more info about which ingredients are organic, storage directions, and more. Now, THIS is how it should be done!

We’re in love with the Kiskanu Hemp CBD catalog. There are only three options, but they’re dazzling examples of effective CBD topicals without anything remotely unnatural:

• CBD face oil
• CBD body oil (gentle enough to be used as personal lubricant)
• CBD skin rub

Ingredients like St. John’s wort, calendula, and rose geranium and more combined with cannabidiol give these products powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. And we know the CBD is totally safe — the CoAs contain both cannabinoid profiles and comprehensive contaminants tests.

Bottom Line – Kiskanu Hemp is one of the few CBD skincare brands out there that we trust 100%. We do so because they use organic, 100% all-natural ingredients (not one of which has been made in a lab) and provide current, independent lab reports for every SKU that cover contaminants and potency. This is a rarity among CBD topical brands, and we applaud them for their transparency.
