Black-Owned Luxury CBD Brands

Noirebud Boasts High-Quality and Specially Curated CBD Products

— August 18, 2020 — Marketing
Noirebud is a woman-owned luxury CBD brand that looks to serve a diverse range of demographics. The business fancies itself to be a one-stop-shop for calming products—"from intimacy oils and body salves to oral drops and herbal teas." Emphasis is placed on ethically derived, botanical ingredients.

The luxury CBD brand was founded in 2018 by Carolyn Gray in Brooklyn. The entrepreneur noticed "a lack of paying homage to people of color who have fallen under the government's grip of incarceration for handling marijuana" in the market. As a result, she sought out to build her brand as one that makes affordable and elevated cannabis products available to consumers, simultaneously drawing attention to the inequality. Gray is fond of saying that her brand ethos is "unapologetically bold and black...like [her]."
