Find your balance with premium, vegan and cruelty-free CBD patches

Una Patches is an innovative CBD patch brand offering premium patches that are blissfully simple to use and truly sustainable. Here, its founder reveals what makes it unique.

Una Patches focus on doing CBD differently. With patches, CBD is absorbed through the skin, releasing CBD over a 24-hour period, which avoids any fluctuations that may arise from other delivery methods. 

The patches boast an impressive rap sheet; they are biodegradable, waterproof, vegan & cruelty-free. Plus, Una Patches are small, discreet and comfortable to wear- you won’t even realise you have one on.

Una Patches is a WOC-owned business, founded by Annu, a medicinal chemist by training.

Annu speaks openly about her background and experience within business.

“I’m proud to be a WOC-owned business. I’m from a family of entrepreneurs so it feels very natural and fulfilling to step into this space,” she said.

The wellness and CBD space can be very whitewashed and often adopts eastern teachings for the benefit of others. I hope that Una Patches can continue to bring representation to this space and begin to educate and expand people’s knowledge.”

Annu wanted to launch CBD products with a difference. As a result, she delved into the science and conducted extensive market research. In doing so, she learnt all about the benefits of transdermal patch delivery versus other delivery methods which usually waste large amounts of CBD. 

This meant there was a quicker, easier and more convenient way for people to get more from their CBD. Plus, they have the credentials to back it up – with 3rd party lab tests and medical device rated patches to ensure quality and purity.

As well as their commitment to quality, sustainability is a core belief for Una Patches. Not only does their unique delivery method mean they have a zero-waste product, but they are also the first climate positive CBD brand.

The patches are completely biodegradable, and their packaging is fully recyclable. Their supply chain has also been designed to minimise carbon emissions by choosing local manufacturers wherever possible. 

Climate positivity means the brand doesn’t just offset their unavoidable carbon emissions, but they go above and beyond to contribute towards projects that positively impact people and the planet. 

This year, Una Patches chose to contribute towards the Kasigau Corridor project. The project, based in south-east Kenya, protects over 500,000 acres of forest. Whilst safeguarding the forest and wildlife, the project has also led to the creation of over 300 jobs, 15 new schools, safe drinking water and the formation of hundreds of women’s groups.  

Whilst only being launched in April 2021, Una Patches are already making waves within the industry, having won the ‘Best CBD Brand’ at the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards.

Annu speaks on the successes of this year: “I’m excited and proud when I reflect on this year. For Una Patches to enter the market as a new brand and win the Marie Claire Sustainability award is so rewarding and still a big pinch me moment for us! I know we can continue to make waves as a small independent brand. 

“Getting customer feedback is my favourite part of it all. It makes everything worth it and I hope to keep raising our voice to reach more people.”

So, whether you’re looking to ease away daily stresses, relax for a peaceful nights sleep or calm your aching muscles – Una Patches may be your new best friend.

A pack of 30 patches retails for just £29.99, they make for the perfect gift… or as a little treat for yourself!
