CBD has gone from a niche product you’d only find in a few health-food stores to something you’ll see almost everywhere — gas stations, grocery stores, and online. If you’ve been curious about CBD creams and topicals — what they are, what’s in them, and how people use them — this guide breaks it down. It’s general information, not medical advice.
What is CBD?
Table of Contents
Cannabidiol more commonly shortened to CBD is a cannabinoid that is present in the Cannabis Sativa plant. This may sound familiar to most as Cannabis is the plant that marijuana is derived from. Famous for producing a euphoric effect known as “high” marijuana is bred to be high in THC (the psychoactive cannabinoid) and very low in CBD. However, marijuana has a lesser-known relative that is called industrial hemp, but more often referred to as simply just hemp. Hemp is very low in THC and very high in CBD. THC and CBD share some of the same molecular similarities, but that is where they end. CBD does not produce a psychotropic effect in the brain while retaining much of the other beneficial qualities of the cannabis plant.
How People Use CBD Topicals
Nearly every mammal has what’s called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors found throughout the body. CBD is one of many cannabinoids researchers are still studying, and the science is early. People use CBD topicals for all sorts of everyday reasons — as part of a self-care routine or after activity. We don’t make claims about what CBD does for any health condition; if you have a specific concern, talk to your doctor.
What People Look For in a Topical
People reach for CBD creams, salves, and roll-ons for lots of reasons — the cooling or warming feel of menthol, a post-workout massage, or simply as part of a self-care routine. Research on topical CBD is still developing, so we don’t make claims about results. Choose a format and scent you like, and if you have a health concern, check with your doctor.
