When applied to skin, CBD can interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and deliver soothing effects that promote a healthy complexion. While there are many different ways to consume CBD, salves are gaining popularity because they offer the convenience of applying and massaging them directly onto skin areas in need of relief.

The formula for a CBD salve is similar to a regular lotion, but it typically contains more oil and can be made using a variety of other ingredients to add extra benefits or aromas to the final product. The most common ingredient is a CBD extract, which is then blended with a carrier oil to ensure even distribution. This is followed by a wax, like candelilla or beeswax, to create a firm but spreadable texture and essential oils are often added for their soothing properties.

The Healing Power of CBD Salve: A Comprehensive Guide

A top-quality CBD salve will contain a high amount of clean, pure CBD and should be safe for your skin. It should also be free of toxins and pass 3rd-party testing for pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants.

Joy Organics’s CBD Body Salve features 1,000mg or 3,000mg of clean, full-spectrum hemp CBD and has been infused with Cinnamomum camphor and menthol crystals for a heating and cooling effect, along with primary essential oils including eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree, peppermint, lemongrass, and rosemary. It’s also pesticide-free and grown with U.S.-grown hemp, and has been third-party tested to ensure it meets the company’s high quality standards. The salve comes in a push-up stick, much like a deodorant or lip balm, making it convenient to apply directly to irritated skin.
