How to choose a CBD Cream
There are countless CBD products on the market that claim to be “Pain Creams” , but how do you know which one to choose ?
There are 5 key things you should look for when choosing a topical CBD lotion or cream.
- Quality Control – Any reputable company will display recent third- party lab testing on their website. The tests should display transparent results of exactly what is in the product. It’s important to make sure you are actually receiving what the packaging states.
- Hemp Source – Where is the hemp in your product coming from ? We recommend you only purchase CBD products from brands that grow their hemp in The United States of America. Farming regulations vary greatly country to country which means non-USA grown hemp may contain harmful chemicals.
- Extraction Method – There are many different extraction methods that can be used to remove CBD and other cannabinoids from the hemp plant. While each method has it’s own pros and cons, we recommend looking for products that use either CO2 or ethanol as their extraction method.
- Type of Hemp – In addition to the extraction method, it is important to look at what type of hemp is being used. There are 3 main types of hemp extract: Full-Spectrum ( whole hemp plant extract, containing some THC); CBD isolate ( just CBD); Broad-Spectrum Extract (CBD and other compounds/cannabinoids from the hemp plant, no THC)
- Potency/Strength – Hemp topical products vary greatly in their potency. Some of the most popular products and companies on the market actually use very little hemp in their product. In this post we will break down the potencies of some of the most popular products on the market to determine which products provide the most CBD and the best value.
