CBD stands for Cannabidiol, and is one of many Cannabinoids, or compounds found in cannabis plants. THC is another cannabinoid for example that is quite similar to CBD. Unlike THC, however, CBD is usually sourced from Hemp plants and causes no psychoactive effects, so you won't be getting "high" using only CBD products. CBD has a lot of positive effects affecting pain relief, appetite, and sleep to name a few. You can learn more extensively about CBD with our CBD beginner's guide. If you're interested in other CBD products besides topicals you can check out our resource here.
So now that we know about the basics of CBD, let's move on to the topic of topicals. Topical CBD products are topical products created or integrated with CBD. They are designed for external use only. These products include: body cream, lip balm, skin lotion, transdermal patches, hair serum, cooling gel, and eye creams. You might have seen some of these products in our store above.
Each of these products are designed to fulfill a different need, but the main Cannabidiol effects you'll experience are the same. Topical CBD is often designed to relieve inflammation and pain,promote sleep, protect skin, and even treat acne.
Of course! We're getting into the finer details here, but some important things to consider are the where your product falls on the isolate spectrum (purity of the concentrate) which you can learn about in our CBD beginner's guide, and the quality, price, and delivery method of your product, which you can learn about in our CBD Buyer's guide.
