CBD salves are topical products infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. They’re designed to be applied directly to the skin, not ingested or inhaled. Think of them like a balm, ointment, or cream—but with CBD as the active ingredient.

Here’s what CBD salves are generally used for:

• Localized pain relief – like sore muscles, joint pain, or arthritis.

• Inflammation – for conditions like tendonitis or skin irritations.

• Skin issues – such as eczema, psoriasis, or dry patches.

• Recovery – post-workout or injury recovery.

What’s usually in a CBD salve?

• CBD extract (often from hemp)

• Carrier oils like coconut oil, shea butter, or beeswax

• Essential oils (e.g., lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint) for added benefits or scent

Because they’re used externally, CBD salves don’t enter the bloodstream the way tinctures or edibles do. They work more on the surface and in nearby tissues via the skin’s endocannabinoid receptors
