.@unclebuds_hemp sent me a self-care package, which has been helpful in me keeping my groove. Thanks for the Uncle Bud's Hemp Hand Sanitizer, CBD Lip Balm, and Hemp Body Lotion. And an even bigger thanks for donating 1,000 free hand sanitizers to @safeplace4youth #advertisement pic.twitter.com/RadQvCpV04

In it, she shows herself applying Uncle Bud’s Organic Hemp Seed Oil Hand Sanitizer ($9.99 for 8 ounces), the 5mg CBD Lip Balm ($8.99 for .35 ounces) and the 120mg CBD Body Lotion Agave Scented ($15.99 for 8 ounces). The video has since garnered 25,000 views, which does not come of surprise! On her Twitter account, she also shared that Uncle Bud’s has since donated 1,000 hand sanitizers to a non-profit called Safe Place for Youth!
In discussing her involvement in the CBD industry, Fonda expressed nothing but excitement as she appears to connect to the brand’s viewpoint on health. In particular, she said:
“Wellness has always been incredibly important to me and these hemp-based products recently caught my attention.” She further went onto highlight a number of Uncle Bud’s facets, including the fact that the products are “eco-friendly, cruelty-free and, most importantly, effective!”
In an interview with WWD, Fonda disclosed that Uncle Bud’s was the one to reach out to her. Before making things official, she got her hands clean by actually trying the products over a couple of months. Once she was satisfied, she took up on their offer:
“I like the skin creams, I like the aching muscle creams, I like the lip balm, I like the hand sanitizers, I like the fact that they were giving free hand sanitizers to a homeless youth organization.”
Regardless many facets that she obviously appreciates, there’s one that would ultimately make or break her decision:
“If it wasn’t a U.S. made product and eco-friendly and animal-kind, I wouldn’t have gone near them.”
