Difference Between CBD Cream and CBD Balm
What are CBD Creams?
CBD creams are products infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a natural compound from the cannabis plant. The cream is infused with pure essential oils, such as creamy avocado oil and floral lavender oil, to add a relaxing scent.
CBD cream can relieve muscle aches, joint pain and inflammation. You just have to apply a layer to the affected area and the cream will help ease pain or skin irritation. CBD cream can be used to ease the symptoms of specific symptoms such as arthritis, eczema and psoriasis.
What are CBD Balms?
CBD is a balm infused with cannabidiol. It can be applied directly to the affected area to ease muscle pain and relieve sore joints. Eden’s Gate’s CBD balm features high quality premium hemp extracts and preserves the full spectrum of cannabinoids. The cannabinoids help reduce inflammation and give targeted relief.
It’s advisable to apply the CBD balm every 3 to 4 hours throughout the day, or as needed. You should ideally begin by applying a small amount of balm and increase the amount if you need stronger relief.
CBD Cream vs CBD Balm
The difference between CBD cream and CBD balm is largely down to their texture, formulation, and application. Both products are infused with cannabidiol (CBD) and offer pain relief, but the speed and intensity of pain relief differs between CBD cream and CBD balm.
Balms tend to have a thicker consistency than creams, which provides a prolonged release of CBD and other beneficial ingredients into the affected area. Creams are thinner and are absorbed more quickly into the skin.
Balms are generally made with oils, whereas cream bases are made with water and moisturizing agents. This makes creams more hydrating than balms. Creams tend to be easier to apply onto the skin than balms.
The waxier balm substance sits on top of the skin for longer, whereas the softer cream is absorbed into the skin thanks to its watery base. Balms tend to leave a slightly oily coating on the skin, whereas cream doesn’t leave much residue.
CBD balms tend to be used for targeted pain relief and to combat inflammation in specific areas. You may want to apply the balm in small patches on your joints or face. On the other hand, CBD creams can be used on larger areas of your body such as arms, legs and back, as well as part of a daily skin routine.
Should I get CBD Cream or Balm?
CBD creams are great for moisturising skin and providing mild to moderate relief from discomfort or irritation. They are easy to apply and don’t leave behind residue as they are absorbed quickly into the skin. CBD creams can leave your skin feeling softer and help with inflammation and acne. This type of cream can also speed up wound healing and ease symptoms of eczema.
CBD balms can help with targeted pain relief in smaller patches of skin. You can use it to ease joint pain or skin inflammation in specific areas such as on your elbow or face. As these balms have a waxy base, they take longer to absorb into the skin and leave behind a slight coating. CBD balms are an ideal option if you’re looking for prolonged relief in a certain area with long-lasting effects.
