Muscle soreness and tension are all part of heavy exercise and physically demanding jobs. Therapies like massage can help with the recovery and healing process, but if you’re an athlete or manual worker, you could likely benefit from everyday support to soothe your tired muscles and speed up recovery.
Topical CBD products to the rescue! After learning about CBD from teammates and colleagues, or reading the many positive reviews online, many athletes and blue-collar workers have turned to CBD balms to provide the support and benefits their muscles need to recover from demanding workouts and jobs. The demand for CBD balms is higher than ever, and today there is a wide assortment of CBD balms to choose from, depending on your personal needs and application preferences.
Most who have used CBD balms have been happy with their experience. If you’re wondering whether CBD balms can help you, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we walk you through the information you need to find the right product from the right brand to deliver the types of soothing benefits you’re looking for.
Koi Full Spectrum CBD Balm is made with full spectrum hemp extract, delivering the full list of valuable cannabinoids, terpenes, vitamins, and other compounds naturally occurring in the plant. This includes an incredible 3,000 mg of CBD for more powerful topical support. A blend of a dozen soothing natural oils – such as eucalyptus leaf oil, rosemary leaf oil, spearmint oil, and lavender flower oil – offer an immediate soothing sensation.
CBD has quickly become a part of many people’s everyday wellness routines. CBD is short for cannabidiol, the second most prevalent chemical compound in the Cannabis Sativa plant. CBD was first discovered in the 1940s and recently became popular for its natural wellness and balancing benefits.
CBD is one of more than 100 cannabinoids found in the plant. THC, or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive ingredient in the Cannabis Sativa plant and is the most widely known cannabinoid. The two compounds share numerous similarities but have one significant difference: Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t produce psychoactive effects. This difference has fueled the popularity of CBD among people looking for its wellness benefits but who prefer to avoid the euphoric effects that come with using THC. Our beginner's guide to CBD explains even more.
While CBD is often ingested, it also delivers exciting benefits when applied topically. CBD used to make CBD balm is extracted from hemp, a variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant that has extensive CBD yield and only traces amount of THC.
While CBD and THC are both cannabinoids, the two have distinct differences and uses.
THC or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive ingredient in the Cannabis Sativa plant. It works by signaling the release of the brain chemical dopamine to activate the brain’s reward system.
CBD doesn’t cause any type of euphoric effects like THC does. Instead, its interaction with receptors in the body promotes an overall sense of balance and supports better functioning.
As cannabinoids, you can expect both compounds to have a similar chemical structure to some degree. Their chemical structure is very similar to that of the body’s natural endocannabinoids.
Both compounds have the same molecular structure with differences in how the molecules are arranged, affecting how each compound binds with receptors and their effects.
Both hemp and marijuana plants contain CBD and THC but in varying concentrations. In the marijuana plant, THC is more prevalent, while hemp contains more CBD. CBD used to make CBD balms is sourced from hemp plants because of their high CBD and low THC yields, ensuring the products meet the legal limit of 0.3% THC by dry weight.
CBD balms, which are sometimes referred to as CBD muscle and joint rubs, are a sweet-smelling semi-solid oil infused with CBD and other beneficial natural ingredients that is applied directly onto the skin.
Different brands have different formulas for their CBD balms, but the balms are primarily infused with soothing ingredients that nourish and soften the skin and target muscles and joints. Unlike creams which are also used for beauty purposes, balms are mainly used to address troubled skin areas and deliver targeted relief.
As you search for CBD balms, you will come across another type of CBD topical, CBD creams. The two terms are often used interchangeably because both combine CBD oil and hemp extracts with other botanicals. In most cases, however, outside of both containing CBD the two are distinct and designed for different applications.
CBD creams are generally made using a water base, giving them a softer and creamier consistency that absorbs quickly into the skin. Rapid absorption means there’s no residue left on your skin. But if your goal is to have a substance that remains longer on the skin’s surface, an oil-based product like a CBD balm is a better choice.
It’s possible to find CBD creams designed to soothe muscles and joints, but such creams have short-lived effects because of their rapid absorption. Creams make better beauty products that deliver vital nutrients quickly to the skin.
Balms are topicals with an oil base, and CBD balms share this feature. CBD balms don’t absorb into your skin as fast as CBD creams. They stay on the surface of the skin longer and create a protective barrier on the skin.
During winter, balms can protect the skin from getting dry or chapped, a unique advantage that you can’t get with creams. Balms are also better for massaging into the skin to deliver the active ingredients into the affected areas gradually and over a longer period for prolonged nourishing effects.
Topical CBD products like our new full-spectrum balm can ease tired muscles and joints and support softer, more supple skin. As described in our guide to CBD topicals, some of the everyday challenges Koi Full Spectrum CBD Balm can be helpful with include:
This new full-spectrum CBD topical product is for those needing more powerful targeted relief. In addition to a high concentration of balancing CBD, Koi Full Spectrum CBD Balm offers the powerful entourage effect that comes from using the plant’s compounds altogether. When used together, CBD and the other compounds work synergistically to enhance their effects.
As a topical, Koi Full Spectrum CBD Balm lets you direct these powerful entourage effects right to the areas that need attention. Massage it into your skin as needed (even multiple times a day) or regularly for a more preventative care approach.
Our new Koi Full Spectrum CBD Balm expands our popular line of topical CBD products, which also includes our Koi Naturals CBD Balm made with broad-spectrum CBD, and our Koi CBD Gel Roll-On with broad-spectrum CBD and other natural oils. All Koi topicals are third-party tested by accredited labs to ensure their purity and potency.
Balms can feature various ingredient configurations depending on the brand and purpose of the topical. Common ingredients used to support the CBD extract include hemp seed oil, adaptogens like Chaga mushrooms and ashwagandha root, MTC oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea and cocoa butter.
When deciding on a CBD balm, you’ll want to consider the types of CBD extract you’re most interested in. There are three types of CBD extract used to make CBD balms:
Getting the right type of CBD balm ensures you get the best results and experience from the balm. While for most, full-spectrum CBD balms are the best, broad-spectrum CBD balms and even CBD isolate have their place. Visit our blog to learn more about the differences between full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD extract.
CBD products come in various forms, and each has its place because of the unique experience it offers. CBD balms aren’t any different. By choosing to use CBD balms to support skin health and encourage recovery, you can expect to enjoy some benefits that you wouldn’t get from other types of CBD products, such as CBD oil, gummies, or CBD vapes. This includes:
CBD balms deliver effects where and when you need them. Unlike ingesting CBD, which delivers balancing benefits throughout your body, you can apply CBD balms to specific areas for localized relief and nourishment.
Applying balms is easy, even for first-time CBD users. CBD balm application is like applying any other type of balm or topical. The only difference is that we recommend spending more time massaging the balm into the skin to maximize absorption. Apply a generous amount and work it into your affected area.
The greatest challenge beginners have with CBD products is determining how much CBD to take. If you take too little, you don’t experience the effects. Granted, some consumers easily find their sweet spot relatively fast. With CBD balms, that’s not a concern. Once you have your jar of Koi CBD balm, you just need to take a small amount of the balm, enough to cover the affected area and spread. It doesn’t have to be precise.
CBD balms have a rich oil base that forms a protective layer on the skin. This prevents excessive moisture loss and keeps the skin supple. Because the balm stays on the skin longer than cream, it provides that protective layer longer as it is slowly absorbed into the skin.
Choosing to use a CBD balm is not the only choice you will make. Balms come in different formulations to suit any need or preference. From different CBD extracts to different oil bases and ingredient formulas, balms come in various forms and sizes for various functions. You can choose the one that appeals to you most.
Using your CBD balm correctly maximizes the effects and enhances your experience. Luckily, using CBD balms correctly isn’t a toll order.
Not all CBD balms are the same, and you’ll have a much better experience if you take a little time to find a high-quality product made by a reputable company. Here are a few tips to help you in the process.
At Koi CBD, we have invested in technology and research to make the best quality CBD balms that are safe and effective. By buying CBD balm from an industry-leading brand, you’re assured of the best quality and experience.
You can tell a brand’s reputation and the quality of its range of CBD balms by looking at customer reviews. Most brands will have the reviews on their official websites, but you can also find the same on third-party review sites.
The longevity of the brand also speaks a lot about its reputation. Most no-name CBD brands are relatively new with no proven track record compared to reputable brands that have been around for several years and continue to grow.
Reputable companies in the CBD industry utilize third-party testing to verify the safety and quality of their consumer products. Third-party testing helps you know that the products you use are free of toxins and effective.
Third-party testing confirms the CBD concentration of the final product, the quality of the ingredients used, and the safety of the products. Third-party testing is particularly crucial for topical CBD products to ensure you get what you’re paying for.
Brands post the results of the third-party tests in what is called a certificate of analysis (CoA). Consumers can view the CoAs for CBD balm before making a purchase. If a brand doesn’t have the CoAs readily available, that serves as a red flag.
CBD balms have more ingredients than CBD extract to facilitate the effectiveness and absorption of the product. With more ingredients, there is a higher chance that bad actors will use substandard ingredients. Some low-quality CBD balms use ingredients that could worsen your discomfort and cause undesirable skin effects. Make it a rule to check the ingredient list when buying topicals to ensure you pick those made using quality ingredients.
If you want CBD products from a reputable brand that cares not only about making quality CBD products but also about its many customers, Koi CBD is your best bet. Our CBD balm is the best on the market. Here’s why:
We don’t take chances with the quality of the ingredients we use to make our CBD balms. We use the best quality CBD extract source from USA-grown hemp with the aid of our experienced partners. The hemp is thoroughly tested to meet the highest quality standards, agricultural requirements, and consistency.
Our CBD balm is not only third-party tested but tested in ISO-accredited third-party labs. We use the most reputable labs to run tests on the balms to verify composition, quality, and safety. We have the results of the tests available on our websites for you to check before purchasing the products. Our thorough testing ensures we keep our promise of giving every person the best possible CBD balm and other CBD products.
Our batch-level transparency allows you to track every CBD balm you buy down to its production batch to acquire information like the Certificate of Analysis and ingredients used to make the balm.
By making our production processes transparent, you get to know everything that goes into your CBD balms. This can also help you understand CBD products better.
We’ve invested in state-of-the-art production equipment to guarantee the quality of our CBD balms. Most of our production processes are automated to prevent cross-contamination and human intervention.
Our CBD balms also come in elegant and thoughtful packaging. The packaging maximizes the shelf-life of the balm and provides information, including a complete ingredient list and instructions that make the product easy to use.
