In February 2015, Ms. Stavola launched CBD for Life, a company that produces highly innovative, natural, luxurious, and effective Cannabidiol (CBD) infused pain management and beauty products using 99% pure CBD extract derived from stems and stalks of industrial hemp. She learned about the wonderful healing properties of CBD after she infused the amazing compound with essential oils to create a rub that would help manage her chronic back pain caused from scoliosis of the spine, a condition she suffered with since her early teenage years. As a wonderful side effect of using the rub, Beth noticed a significant improvement, clearing and softening of her skin. After months of extensive research she and her team met with a chemist to create the luxurious formulations, and two years later CBD for Life was born! CBD for Life is headquartered in New Jersey where the products are produced in a large-scale contract manufacturing facility. All products are 95% naturally derived and are free of GMO’s, parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, artificial coloring and are never tested on animals. Rave reviews from mainstream prominent beauty publications and bloggers and client testimonials have been flooding in since the launch. Her products in mainstream media are helping in educating the beauty and health world on the healing properties of cannabis.
