The company is expected to reach a licensing agreement with Dr. Kerklaan’s – a provider of highly effective CBD topical solutions – by May 13, 2020.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Dr. Kerklaan Therapeutics on the development and distribution of CBD Creams.

The manufacture and distribution of the CBD topical products is expected to commence in 2020.

“Canada represents an exciting opportunity for Dr. Kerklaan Therapeutics. Expanding our international reach to include Canada is an important milestone for the brand, and we’re thrilled to have Eve & Co as a strategic partner to help launch our collection of CBD topicals,” said Andrew Kerklaan, Founder & CEO of Dr. Kerklaan Therapeutics.
