Exclusive, News, Top News
Most investors are familiar with cannabis flower, edibles, and extracts, which have created overnight multi-billion dollar markets around the world. With rising competition in many of these markets, investors may want to turn their attention to lesser known subsets of the cannabis industry, including medical cannabis research and the multi-trillion dollar health and wellness industry that’s ripe for innovative new products.
The Yield Growth Corp.(CSE: BOSS) manufactures and distributes cannabis-infused wellness products under its Urban Juve and UJ Topicals brands, inspired by the ancient healing powers of Ayurvedic medicine. Over the past several quarters, the company has expanded beyond Canada and into the United States and Europe with a focus on wellness. Investors may want to keep an eye on the company as it continues its expansion into the new year.

Cannabis Wellness Space
Health and wellness products are constantly evolving with hot new ingredients, from probiotics to fight inflammation to caviar to stimulate collagen production. Some of these ingredients produce noticeable effects, but most of them are simply packaged up and marketed well enough to generate buzz. Hemp oil has already made its way into the market but cannabis-infused wellness products are only starting to appear.
The same cannabinoids that are consumed to get a ‘high’ bind to different receptors on the skin when applied as a beauty product. Cannabinoids are rich in fatty acids and can help with hydration, while some studies have shown that they can be anti-inflammatory and help reduce sebaceous gland activity. They could help with a wide range of dermatological issues, such as eczema, dandruff, psoriasis, dull skin, and even acne.
The health and wellness industry is worth more than $4 trillion per year on a global level, while the beauty subset is worth over $120 billion per year. While some of the cannabis-infused products can only be sold in a few states where cannabinoids have been legalized, the Farm Bill helped pave the way for the hemp-based CBD products to be widely distributed throughout the United States and around the world.
Innovative Product Portfolio
Yield Growth’s wholly-owned Urban Juve subsidiary has developed more than 50 wellness products, including anti-aging serums, bath salts, pain patches, and antihistamines. While most companies rely on hemp seed oil, the company sets itself apart with hemp root oil and its anti-inflammatory properties. The company has more than ten patents pending on extraction processes for hemp root oil, which could create a significant barrier to entry.
The company’s wholly-owned UJ Topicals subsidiary develops THC and CBD infused topicals with distribution agreements in place to 400 stores throughout Oregon. In addition, the business has an Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) approved license to manufacture and distribute cannabis products in Oregon. These products are popular for localized pain relief, muscle soreness, tension and inflammation.
These products are being developed and marketed by a strong management team with experience at PepsiCo (PEP), Coca-Cola (KO), Skechers USA (SKX), Aritzia LP (ATZ), M.A.C Cosmetics, and other multinational companies. CEO Penny Green co-founded Merus Labs (TSX: MSL), which was sold in July 2017 for $342 million and co-founded Glance Technologies (CSE: GET), which achieved a $480 million market capitalization.
