The products include body balm, tincture, skincare, nano-mist and functional beverages. One of the many responsibilities in this new venture is, for me personally, to serve as Educator in Chief about cannabidiol, and how it is used by Isodiol. This company is leading the strategy of appropriate uses of hemp derivatives, and Isodiol products are free of THC. It’s ironic that people find controversy in the powerfully useful hemp plant. Without THC, hemp has many natural and important uses, which are beneficial in countless ways. We need people to please understand, that hemp, without THC, is similar to a grape without fermentation. What the Isodiol team has done is, bring the best qualities of hemp-derived CBD to the market without any psychotropic element, whatsoever. This is the second product for kathy ireland® Health & Wellness, licensed by Level Brands, and we welcome the Isodiol team to our family at Level.”

Sumichrast, Level Brands’ CEO. “Isodiol is a pioneer and a leader in the commercialization of a 99%+ pure, bioactive pharmaceutical grade CBD derived from the hemp plant. We are excited to work with Isodiol on developing the highest quality hemp derivatives-based consumable and topical skin care products for kathy ireland® Health & Wellness and I’M1.”
