Hollywood-based CBD gummy and multivitamin company SMILE has been one of those companies that has seen an increase in consumers during the COVID-19 situation. With anxiety levels at an all-time high and lonely people being locked inside feel depressed and lacking energy, CBD in general has been a go-to natural (and VEGAN!) remedy to help individuals cope.
But beyond helping cope with those items, CBD is also AMAZING for your skin and beauty (treat dry skin, psoriasis, and eczema), so that you can also feel fabulous during and after this whole situation. Just ask the growing list of celebrities and mega social media influencers such as Emma Kenney, Daisy Marquez, Alex Davis, Edwin Honoret, Becca Tilley and Jason Genao, who have all been seen enjoying their CBD products! And what’s more, SMILE as a company has decided to donate 100% of sales to the United Nations Foundation for COVID-19. Amazing stuff!
It’s A Glam Thing sat down with SMILE‘s CEO David Jiang to find out more!
Nick Northstar: What makes SMILE different from other CBD companies?
David Jiang: What makes our products unique is that our gummies are vegan friendly and double as a multivitamin. They include 9 of the most commonly lacked vitamins and minerals in the average American diet. I can confidently say that these are the best CBD gummies you will have ever tried. They’re so good that every person that tries them, doesn’t even believe they have CBD. Our other products are available as tinctures in 4 delicious flavors: Mighty Mango and Zesty Lemon in our energize formulation, and French Vanilla and Mint Bliss in our unwind formulation. Soon we will be releasing a line of soothing topicals that we’re really excited for.
NN: How did you come up with such an incredible product?
DJ: I’ve always been interested in nutrition, health and fitness, and it was a no-brainer to join the CBD industry because it has so much potential for growth. With SMILE, I wanted to create a brand that had the highest quality products, but that was also fun, uplifting and approachable. Let’s be honest… for most people, their association with taking vitamins started when our parents forced us to take gross-tasting vitamins as kids. As adults with busy schedules, it’s not only hard to remember to take our vitamins, but it’s not the most enjoyable process when we do take them. I wanted people to look forward to taking SMILE products.
NN: Celebrities, influencers, athletes and a ton of notable people all over the world are using it! Did you think your product would be this successful?
DJ: We could have only hoped! We’re so excited to see those with large followings supporting our brand and getting the word out, but we’re also equally as delighted to receive feedback from everyday users of our products. To come back and tell us that by ingesting our gummies or tinctures, they’ve seen a great improvement in their overall wellbeing is so rewarding. They report everything from SMILE aiding in their stress relief and better sleep to soothing sore muscles and tension. It keeps me motivated to continue bringing outstanding products to market that make people say: wow, I never thought a product could be this great or work this well. We have a line of topicals and buttery lotions coming out soon that are guaranteed to blow people away.
NN: Since everyone is currently locked down at home, what can CBD do for a person’s beauty and skin?
DJ: With your skin as your biggest organ, it’s important to feed your body with proper nutrition. With Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Coconut Oil, Vitamins A, B12, D3, and Zinc, our passion fruit multivitamin gummies do wonders to help support your comprehensive health and the integrity of your skin. Also, ingesting CBD in a form such as our tinctures before bed ensure a more restful night’s sleep — and as we all know, deeper sleep has proven to provide wonderous benefits for our skin and wellness.
NN: Scientists are finding more evidence that CBD can also treat dry skin, psoriasis, and eczema…. which of your products would help towards these?
DJ: Our gummy multivitamin product is strongly recommended to support overall health and wellness which plays a big role in maintaining overall health and healthy skin. Smile will be introducing buttery lotions and topicals in the near future which readers should definitely stay tuned to our website and social channels for updates on.
NN: Which of your products would you recommend for anxiety? Which is also a huge thing these days during these troubling times.
DJ: I would recommend our Mint Bliss or French Vanilla tinctures for anxiety. While the gummies are meant to be consumed at the start of your day, a part of your morning routine, our collection of “Unwind” tinctures can be ingested whenever you feel stressed, anxious, or just need to wind down at the end of the day.
NN: You are also giving back during this time. Tell us how and why is being able to give back and help people so important to you as a company?
DJ: In tough times, we need to pull together. This is why Smile is donating 100% of its profits to the United Nations Foundation COVID-19 Fundraiser. CBD and smiling are both natural mood boosters and we are honored to be contributing our profits towards the UN’s Fundraiser to support those in need.
NN: What is your definition of “Glam” and how does SMILE fall into that?
DJ: To me, feeling “glam” may equate with being special, having a certain prominence in desirability. In the CBD industry there isn’t a singular brand today that stands out as one that people both love to take and that they can also trust. With SMILE, we aim to provide customers with an array of products that will engage them with an overall, more improved sense of well-being.
NN: Where can people go buy your products?
DJ: People can shop for our products on our website, www.reasontosmile.com
