CBD Balm UK
Our CBD balm is ideal for athletes or anyone having issues with muscles, joints, or skin. Our cannabidiol balm blends hemp cannabinoids with high-quality natural ingredients for optimal relief.
What Is CBD Balm?
CBD balm is a cosmetic product that is designed to be rubbed onto 'troubled areas' and absorbed into the skin. These types of topical cannabidiol products are excellent for people who simply wish to target specific areas of the body rather than ingest CBD for a systemic effect.
Athletes, for example, tend to use balms as and when needed, for particular issues with muscles, joints etc...
There are many different types of CBD Balm available and the composition of products can vary dramatically. Ours are made using only 100% natural, plant-derived ingredients that are selected for their calming effects and usability.
Is Your CBD Balm Full Spectrum?
Our CBD Balm is indeed full spectrum and is rich in beneficial cannabis cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. The combination of these compounds is believed to provide potent synergistic effects that are more impactful than what highly refined extracts can offer.
However, if you are looking for CBD skin cream made with pure CBD isolate, please check out our organic CBD cream. This product is better suited for sensitive skin and general skin health.
How Much CBD Can Be Absorbed Through The Skin?
CBD topicals in the form of balms and lotions are primarily designed to target cannabinoid receptors within the layers of the skin rather than enter the bloodstream. However, when large amounts of CBD are applied to the skin it can enter the blood regardless.
Thorough studies on the bioavailability of topical CBD are few, but many people do report excellent results for localised issues.
The best way to absorb CBD through the skin for non-localised issues is with transdermal CBD patches.
How Much CBD Balm Should I Apply?
CBD balm should be applied liberally to the affected area. The amount you will need to apply will depend on the size of the area and the level of relief that you feel is needed. After applying the balm you should notice a difference within 30 minutes.
Can CBD Oils Be Used Instead Of CBD Balm?
CBD oil can be rubbed onto the skin for muscle and joint relief. However, CBD muscle balm is much better suited for regular application. CBD topicals are specially formulated for usability and efficacy and contain other supporting ingredients, such as essential oils, that can support aching muscles.
CBD oils are best suited for applying under the tongue.
What Is The Difference Between CBD Cream & CBD Muscle Balm?
CBD cream is lighter in consistency and is designed to be used all over the body - face and hands included. CBD balm products are expertly formulated to relieve muscles and joints, while CBD cream is more often used for general skin health purposes.
If I Am Using CBD Patches, Do I Need CBD Balm?
CBD patches are very effective at providing both topical and body-wide relief. We do not recommend using CBD balm on the same area of skin that CBD patches are applied to as this may reduce their adhesion and efficacy.
Normally only one topical CBD product is required. However, if you wish to use both patches and CBD balm, you can use them on different areas of the skin.
Does Your CBD Balm Contain Essential Oils?
Yes, our CBD balm contains genuine cannabis essential oil that is derived from the industrial hemp plant. This oil is a highly concentrated source of beneficial cannabis terpenes.
Is CBD Balm Good For Dry Skin?
Yes, our CBD balm is beneficial for dehydrated skin. However, if you are looking for a CBD topical for skin health rather than supporting sore muscles/joints, then our cream may be better suited. This cream is made with CBD isolate and a range of organic ingredients.
