Award-winning natural skincare brand Highly Enfused® has launched what is believed to be the UK and Europe’s first fully integrated CBD Healing Bar® — a purpose-built clinic where every treatment protocol is structured around CBD and the body’s Endocannabinoid System.

Highly Enfused officially launched in October 2024 following years of research, formulation and clinical-level study by founder Ande Petrou.

In July 2025, the brand expanded into physical treatments with the opening of the CBD Healing Bar® — a space designed to reposition CBD from a cosmetic trend ingredient to a structured therapeutic system.

Within its first year of trading, Highly Enfused received the Creative Excellence in Natural Health Award from the Complementary Medical Association (October 2025) and is now a finalist in the Hair & Beauty Awards for Skin Specialist of the Year.

Years of Study Before One Product Was Sold

Although the brand launched publicly in 2024, its foundations were built years earlier.

Driven by personal family experiences with psoriasis and eczema, Ande Petrou undertook extensive study in:

• Cannabinoid science

• The Endocannabinoid System

• Inflammation pathways

• Essential oil biochemistry

• Advanced skin anatomy

• Plant medicine

She worked alongside a biochemist to formulate stable, compliant CBD-infused products, conducting full stability testing, producing Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR), and refining each formulation through real-world case studies before public release.

This was not a trend-led launch.
It was research-led.

Handmade. Small Batch. No Heavy Industrial Machinery.

In an industry often dominated by outsourced factories and automated production lines, Highly Enfused operates differently.

Every product is:

• Handmade in small batches

• Produced without heavy industrial machinery

• Carefully measured, blended and quality-controlled

• Created under direct founder oversight

The ethos is simple:

We employ people — not machines.

Each formulation combines globally sourced botanicals — including frankincense (Boswellia serrata), Egyptian geranium, chamomile waters, aloe vera, beeswax and colloidal silver — with full-spectrum CBD sourced exclusively from Raised Spirit, recognised as the UK’s first certified organic CBD producer.

This is slow, conscious, integrity-driven skincare.

Why the CBD Healing Bar® Was Created

After launching Highly Enfused in October 2024, Ande observed that CBD within the beauty industry was frequently positioned as a marketing feature rather than a therapeutic foundation, not one spa or clinic was offering a full CBD Menu backed by case studies and science and it was more offered as a one off massage without the therapist understanding CBD in its full potential or knowing exactly how it helps with our ECS.

In response, she opened the CBD Healing Bar® in July 2025.

Unlike conventional spas, the clinic is structured entirely around the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) — the body’s internal regulatory network associated with balance across skin function, stress response and overall homeostasis.

Every treatment protocol integrates CBD at multiple stages, including:

• 3D AI skin analysis

• CBD hydrofacials

• LED photon therapy

• Thai reflexology using CBD oils

• Lymphatic drainage techniques

• CBD and colloidal silver conductivity gels

• LED Light Photon & CBD Misting.

• Thai Reflexology & hand & temple massage

• CBD Relaxation Breaks

• CBD-infused humidifier diffusion within treatment rooms

• Oxygen-enhancing botanical treatment environments

• CBD & natural herbal treatment plans for the body & mind.

• A safe space to relax, unwind & feel your best.

CBD is not an add-on.
It is the foundation of every protocol.

Every client is assessed prior to any treatment/therapy and is given their own tailored plan, as no two people reat the same to onestandard treatment.

Medical-Level Training & Professional Authority

Founder Ande Petrou holds:

• Level 6 Distinction Diploma in CBD

• Level 3 & 7 Diploma in Advanced Anatomy & Physiology

• Multiple IPHM-accredited diplomas in holistic and advanced aesthetic therapies

She is also:

• Executive Practitioner — International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine
