Hello everyone. Maria from Sabinas greets you again, you know...Not Maria Sabina.
Today I want to talk to you about CBD Creams: Information, studies and therapeutic uses. Cannabidiol and products derived from it, such as CBD creams, are increasingly present in our lives.
What are CBD creams and ointments?
Answering this question is quite simple: CBD creams and ointments are those cosmetic and dermatological products that contain cannabidiol in their composition, whether in the form of oil or extract.
However, we can go a little further in this definition and talk in more detail about what differentiates these creams from other products that we can find on the shelves of any supermarket. Especially if we take into account that at first glance they will seem like just another cosmetic.
In fact, as with other products designed for topical application, in general we can divide CBD creams into three groups based on their consistency:
• Body lotions : they are most similar to the creams that we usually apply to our skin. Although it is true that they often have a somewhat thicker consistency than the lotions we find in the supermarket. Additionally, and as with these products, CBD creams can include other compounds to provide us with better hydration and better nourish our skin. For example, seed oils, vitamin E, aloe vera, etc.
• Balms : in this category we would include products that are halfway between creams and CBD oils. But unlike body lotions, these balms have a more liquid consistency and are often mixed with essential oils.
• Oils : as the name suggests, the texture of these products is liquid (or, rather, oily), which makes it the favorite product of many and the most hated of many others. Additionally, as with CBD creams, they often incorporate other essential oils and vitamins. And these oils generally take longer to fully absorb into the skin.
On the other hand, although these three large groups exist, within each of them we find more subdivisions. For example, it is common to see lines of CBD creams and ointments designed for athletes and to treat muscle discomfort while others focus more on the aesthetic factor for the improvement and firmness of the skin.
Finally, and although cannabidiol is a substance that is theoretically less absorbed by the skin due to its lipophilic properties, the composition of CBD creams and ointments makes its topical application also effective from a therapeutic point of view. Especially in cases of diseases such as psoriasis, dermatitis or eczema thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
If you have a muscle injury, do not hesitate to get one of these creams, they have helped me in multiple cases.
He says goodbye to you; Maria la de Sabinas, Not Maria Sabina.
