Glisten
CBD COSMETICS
CBD beauty is still finding its footing, so we built Glisten to show where it could go. This lip oil concept, named and designed in-house, shimmers with gradients of purple, pink, blue, yellow, and gold across packaging, merch, social, and retail displays made for beauty's biggest shelves.

Building a Retail-Ready CBD Cosmetics Brand
CBD has already found its way into skincare, and we think beauty is next. We created Glisten as a case study for that moment: a CBD lip oil for women who love a beauty ritual and want every step of it to feel a little magical. We named it Glisten and housed it in a sleek rectangular tube with a wand applicator.
The logo sets the name in lowercase with a modern serif, its thick and thin strokes feeling friendly and elegant at once. Gradients of purple, pink, blue, yellow, and gold pop against everyday surroundings, whether on a store shelf, a city street, or a phone screen. A style guide keeps it all consistent, and the social media mockups take cues from Chanel and Hermès: clean, effortless, and luxurious.
Since Glisten was built for retail, we designed the full in-store experience too. A custom display draws shoppers to the counter, where each purchase is wrapped in logo-embossed tissue paper, closed with a shiny Glisten seal, and placed in a branded bag. The apparel and tote take a quieter approach, with simplified designs that keep the focus on the customer.

Proof That CBD Belongs in Beauty
Glisten shows that a CBD product can sit comfortably next to the biggest names in beauty. Every detail, from the lowercase logo to the embossed tissue paper, was designed to feel at home in a luxury retail setting, and the brand holds together across packaging, merch, social media, and in-store displays.
CBD beauty is still finding its footing, which gives the brands that look polished now a real chance to lead as the category grows. We built Glisten to be ready for that moment. If you're developing a CBD cosmetics or skincare line, we'd love to help you build a brand that's ready for the beauty aisle from day one.
