Natural, eco-friendly hemp-derived CBD topicals

Hemp-derived CBD topicals 

Versatile hemp-derived CBD topicals offer many healthful benefits. Although we’ve known about hemp’s potential uses and benefits for centuries, in recent decades it’s been unfairly maligned.

Consumers, faced with a wide variety of products and claims, are confused. So, let’s look at how hemp-derived CBD topicals work.

The endocannabiniod system

Every body, human or animal, has an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is made up of CB-1 and CB-2 receptors, which are located throughout the body. For instance, each receptor has its role to play, but also works with other receptors to maintain balance, or homeostasis.

Cannabinoids, or CBD, activate the CB receptors in the skin. Applied topically, CBD efficiently and effectively triggers the ECS response.

What to look for in hemp-derived CBD topicals 

When you buy topicals, look for hemp derived CBD oil that is free of toxins and impurities. Because hemp absorbs toxins from the earth, make sure it was grown organically. You should be able to easily find the ingredient list for topicals. So, check to make sure you’re getting a product with organically sourced ingredients. Avoid products with added chemicals and artificial ingredients that might do more harm than good. For more information, check out our FAQ page.
