CBD comes in various forms and thankfully has many different uses and benefits. Are you looking for the benefits of CBD but don’t want to ingest it?
Topical CBD is your answer.
Topical CBD is an option
Topical CBD is great for those users who do not want to ingest CBD but would rather apply it to the skin and receive comparable results. Manufacturers of topical CBD claim these products can help aide in easing pain and reducing inflammation which in the end is beneficial for patients with specific health conditions.
Together with the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors on the skin, it has been further illustrated that topical cannabis has anti-inflammatory, anti-itching, analgesics, wound healing and anti-proliferative effects on the skin.
Topical CBD often uses broad-spectrum CBD which contains no THC or only trace amounts.

Research Studies
Research indicates that topical CBD is beneficial for various conditions.
“ The American Academy of Dermatology Association (AAD) says that the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD may aid treatment for acne, psoriasis, and eczema. A 2016 study in rats found that some CBD products may have long lasting therapeutic effects on inflammation and behaviors associated with arthritis. Also, a 2020 study found that CBD oil can significantly reduce pain for people with peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage that generally causes discomfort, numbness, and weakening in the feet and hands.A 2019 study found that people who experience temporomandibular disorder (TMD) may notice an improvement in their condition after using CBD products. TMD can cause pain and stiffening in and around a person’s jaw” ( Medical News Today).
Time to Shop
When shopping for a topical CBD, it is important to consider a few factors such as:
- Dosage and potency
- Cost + quality
- Ingredients
First, read the label to check the dosage and potency. Most products will list the dosage in milligrams (mg). Start with a low dosage and low potency and then increase if necessary. A low potency topical CBD will typically contain 3 mg per application whereas a high potency will tend to contain 8 mg per application.
Second, consider the cost. Topical CBD may be expensive based on brand, potency, etc. Users should consider the price range and how often they may need to purchase the product. Furthermore, a product may not be of better quality or have more benefits due to the cost. Always do your own research and purchase from a reputable source.
Third, consider the ingredients. Some CBD extraction processes use harsh chemicals that leave traces within the product. If you can, shop for organic ingredients.
