What are CBD Salves?
CBD salves are topical products formulated with CBD, combined with a carrier oil and natural waxes or balms for easy application. Designed for targeted relief, salves are thicker than lotions or creams, forming a protective layer on the skin while delivering the benefits of CBD. They are particularly useful for sore muscles, joint discomfort, and dry or irritated skin.
​
CBD Salve Bioavailability
Unlike CBD products that are ingested, CBD salves work by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin without entering the bloodstream. This localized approach allows for direct relief in the application area. While salves typically have a slower onset compared to other delivery methods, many users appreciate their cumulative, long-term benefits.
Since salves do not pass through the digestive system, the bioavailability rate is low, around 2%. However, this trade-off can be worthwhile for those seeking relief in specific areas without systemic effects.

How to Apply a CBD Salve:
​
-
Purchase a high-quality salve: Look for reputable brands that use natural ingredients and third-party lab testing.
-
Spot test: Apply a small amount to a patch of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
-
Clean the target area: Wash and dry the area before applying the salve for maximum absorption.
-
Apply and massage: Gently massage a pea-sized amount into the skin until fully absorbed.
-
Repeat as needed: Use consistently for best results, depending on your desired level of relief.
