Herbal Oasis Social Tonics

Microencapsulated & Fast-Acting Social Tonic for the Sober-Curious and Beyond

The product has been in development for nearly a year, designed to have superior taste and a balanced formulation that aligns with current trends for an alcohol-free lifestyle. Incorporating a nano-liposomal technology for faster absorption, Herbal Oasis Social Tonics offers fast-acting effects. Consumers should begin to feel the effects within approximately 10-15 minutes after consumption.

"We are thrilled to introduce Herbal Oasis as part of the emerging hemp-derived delta 9 category," said Ronan Kennedy, CEO of cbdMD. "With Herbal Oasis, we wanted to bring together the finest aspects of ancient wellness traditions and modern innovation, delivering an alcohol-free alternative for social connection and mindful engagement. It's an experience that our consumers can feel good about, one that aligns with their wellness-focused lifestyles."

The Fastest-Growing Segment in an Emerging Industry

As the THC and CBD beverage markets continue to expand, the social tonics category is emerging as the fastest-growing segment in the industry. The "sober-curious" movement and an increasing focus on wellness have fueled a demand for healthier, non-alcoholic alternatives that promote well-being. According to recent Euromonitor International estimates, the adult hemp beverage market totaled approximately $230 million in 2023, will triple in 2024, and is on its way to over $4 billion by 2028 as consumers seek new, mindful ways to enjoy their social lives without consuming alcohol.

cbdMD's move into this rapidly expanding space underscores the brand's commitment to innovation and addressing consumer trends head-on. By offering Herbal Oasis, cbdMD provides a sophisticated, wellness-driven option that will be marketed to a range of adult consumers, from "Life of the Party" personalities looking for a healthier social buzz, to wellness enthusiasts and sober-curious individuals seeking clarity and connection.
