The best part about using a CBD Topical Cream, is that you can target a specific area.


The main question for anyone who's never tried CBD Topicals (Creams and Balms), is "Do they work"? Hopefully we can answer that and explain why some work better than others.


What is CBD Cream?


Firstly, let's talk about "What is CBD"? Cannabidiol (CBD) is quickly becoming a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its numerous benefits. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant, which has been proven to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. This makes it ideal for use in skincare products aimed at improving the look and feel of the skin.


How do CBD Creams Work?


CBD Creams work by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our body. ECS is responsible for regulating many functions including pain, sleep, and immune response. CBD, being a phytocannabinoid, binds with the receptors of ECS and modulates its activity, leading to potential benefits like *pain relief, reduced inflammation, and improved skin health (*see note below). However, it's important to note that the effects of CBD creams are mostly limited to the area of application and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits.


Benefits of CBD Skincare Products
