Hellcat Maggie's CBD Skincare & Cosmetics
The FIRST U.S. whole-plant CBD skincare & cosmetics made for breakout-prone skin using organic, vegan, non-comedogenic ingredients.
Project Description
Our Story:
Breakouts to Breakthrough Skincare:
Hi! I’m Maggie Glover, previous sufferer of bad skin, and founder and CEO of Hellcat Maggie’s Skincare.
A few years ago, I created our first batch of products without any idea I was also building the foundation of the FIRST whole-plant CBD skincare branch in the US made specifically for problematic complexions using organic, non-comedogenic ingredients.
(Or, as I like to say: "Made for the breakout-prone, by the breakout-prone.)
In the months before I made Batch #1, I'd been obsessing over my skin thanks to a terrible, never-ending breakout that hadn't been responding to any of my go-to remedies. Though I was used to monthly hormonal pimples on my chin, this new breakout covered my cheeks, forehead, and nose. Suddenly, I had the face of a pubescent tween - except I was 32, and so I had the beginnings of fine lines and wrinkles, too.
My dermatologist and aesthetician helped me to identify exactly what was triggering my complexion problems and what would heal, soothe, and build back up my suffering skin.
Making HERstory
"No one was making what my skin needed, so I created it myself."
I knew all about whole-plant CBD's incredible anti-inflammatory properties for acne, so it seemed like the perfect ingredient to add to my treatment regimen to boost results and reduce free radical and environmental damage.
That's when I discovered ALL the whole-plant CBD topicals on the market were packed with ingredients like coconut oil which clog pores and irritate skin like mine.
Pitch:
Estimated Market Value for Specialized Skincare: $50 billion. 50-60 million adults in the U.S. seek care for breakouts, pimples, cysts, and other acne-related issues.
The Problem:
The CBD topicals available on the market are made with coconut oil & other pore-clogging, irritating ingredients that not only cancel out the benefits of CBD but may also worsen inflammatory skin conditions like acne & eczema.
Our Unique Solution:
Hellcat Maggie’s Skincare is the first whole-plant CBD skincare in the U.S. made specifically for problematic complexions prone to breakouts while reversing the signs of aging.
Our skincare addresses the unique needs of problematic complexions with organic, dermatologist-recommended ingredients (0-1 comedogenic rating) infused with whole-plant CBD to heal acne & inflammation, fight free radical damage, & boost cell turnover rate.
Organic, Small-Batch, Woman-Owned, & LEGAL!
Co-Founders Maggie Glover Mike Vanderhei created this CBD skincare line in compliance with federal (per the 2018 Farm Bill) and state legislation. Hellcat Maggie’s is 9-free - so no formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, camphor, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, parabens, or acetone. We work with small farms to secure high CBD hemp plants that are grown organically without any pesticides or synthetic substances, and all sourced hemp plants are tested and confirmed to contain less than 0.3% THC (You can view our most recent compliance test results on our site).

Purpose of Funding:
Until now, Hellcat Maggie's Skincare has been "bootstrapped" by its co-founders. The huge demand we've seen since our soft launch in October precipitated our decision to raise capital in order to scale operations, invest in equipment, organic ingredients, comply with federal and state laws and tax codes, begin to build out our core executive team, hire contractors, and expand our inventory to include more of what our customers need and want...... such as...
Our Next BIG THING is Almost Here:
