Nothing new about this. I've seen Cannabis sativa listed as one of the ingredients in many of the natural cosmetics I sell in my shop.

Make your own cannabis salf:

Heat 100mL vaseline au bain marie and add 3 grams of bud or 7 grams of cutting trash (?) for at least 10 hours. Sieve and pour it back into the vaseline jar.
Stays good for 2.5 years. An allergic response is possible, so be careful the first time.

The downside of such natural oils is that you cannot keep them for long (Vaseline you can keep for ages), so you have to make smaller batches and use some sort of conserving agent.
