When it comes to making the CBD Oil Hemp Milk Ice Cream, Hop Ice Cream co-owner Ashley Garrison describes that "We actually steep the hemp flower buds in the ice cream, and it does give it a little bit of the, like, dank hempy smell and flavor. But it’s really delicious." While there are many [CBD-infused edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-crme-pie-edibles) that have been created to share the anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory, pain-reducing properties of cannabidiol, the naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent of cannabis, mainstream businesses are now using this non-psychoactive ingredient from a health and well-being perspective. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cbd-infused Products:** Companies can explore incorporating CBD oil into different products, from food to beauty, to leverage its health benefits and appeal to consumers. - **Cannabis-based Beverages:** The rise of CBD-infused ice cream paves the way for other cannabis-based beverages, such as tea or coffee, that can address different health needs and preferences. - **Holistic Wellness Foods:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop more holistic wellness foods, incorporating functional ingredients like CBD, to cater to growing consumer demand for health-boosting benefits. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can experiment with different CBD-infused products to stay on top of health trends and tap into the potential for novel flavor combinations. - **Beauty and Skincare:** The beauty and skincare industry can explore incorporating CBD oil into products, such as face creams and serums, to tap into its potential anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin. - **Cannabis Industry:** The cannabis industry can leverage the rising interest in non-psychoactive components of cannabis, like CBD, to develop new products and expand their consumer base seeking alternative wellness solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cannabis-Infused Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emack-bolio.md) - [Hemp-Based Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemp-based-ice-cream.md) - [Ice Cream-Inspired Cannabis Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insa-black-raspberry-ice-cream-chocolate.md) - [Exclusive 420 Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/420-ice-cream.md) - [Hemp-Infused Hydrating Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannade.md) - [CBD-Infused Meringue Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cbd-meringue-cookies.md) - [Canned CBD Cold Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trip-cbdinfused-cold-brew-coffee.md) - [CBD-Infused Meringue Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-sheep-cbd-meringue-cookies.md) - [Full-Spectrum Mango Sorbets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-sorbet.md)
