What Are CBD Topicals?

As you probably already know, CBD comes in various forms. Such forms include CBD oils, tinctures, edible like gummies, capsules, and more. Topical CBD products like lotions, salves, body butters, balms, and creams are popular among those with muscle and joint pain, as well as persistent, localized aches, pains, and discomforts.

Unlike other types of CBD products, topicals are administered directly to the skin and typically provide quick relief to the affected areas. Many topical products are also infused with skin-nourishing nutrients and essential oils that provide additional benefits, such as acting as a moisturizer for dry or damaged skin.

Why Choose Naternal Topicals?

Naternal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Root Bioscience, which is a science company focused on the cultivation of the cannabis plant and the formulation of high-quality, effective, and reliable consumer products. Root Bioscience holds control over its entire supply chain from soil to oil. It formulates Naternal products in a state-of-the-art facility established in North Carolina’s world-renowned Research Triangle Park. We created Naternal because we found that other CBD products available in the U.S. lacked the transparency and information that we'd usually expect from health and wellness products.

When you purchase a Naternal CBD product, you can trust you are getting a safe and potent product because our extraction and production processes are meticulous, and our testing is rigorous. Furthermore, you can access lab reports on any product we sell. We make topical products like CBD lotions using all-natural ingredients and our extraction method without relying on any GMO, pesticides, preservatives, or artificial flavors. We create base formulations with great fragrances using natural ingredients like lavender and essential fatty acids that we would be proud to have our families use on their own, even without the addition of CBD.  Here is a list of some of our natural ingredients that are both easy to understand and pronounce.

Why Are Naternal Topicals Full-Spectrum?

Unlike many other brands, we use full-spectrum CBD in our topicals because we understand that the various compounds and cannabinoids naturally found in the plant, such as terpenes, flavonoids, and phenolics, make our formulations more potent. Besides cannabidiol (CBD), different cannabinoids that occur naturally in the hemp plant include cannabinol (CBN), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG), and more. In addition to being found in the hemp plant, these cannabinoids are also naturally produced in the human body as part of the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Full-spectrum products offer users the incomparable advantage of the “entourage effect.” The entourage effect refers to the enhanced effectiveness of these products due to the various compounds working together, synergistically. Further research into the endocannabinoid system needs to be conducted before any definitive claims can be made, but the ECS is believed to play a role in bodily functions such as appetite, mood regulation, memory, and sleep, all of which are important for maintaining homeostasis and keeping the immune system functioning correctly.

It is currently known that CBD doesn't bind to CB1 receptors or CB2 receptors the way that THC does, but the way CBD actually works is still debated. Some researchers believe that CBD helps prevent the other cannabinoids in the ECS from breaking down, so your body can have an easier time with absorption, while others believe that CBD binds to an, as of yet, undiscovered receptor.

What Are the Benefits of CBD Topicals?

We don’t like ambiguity, but when it comes to the special health benefits of our topical creams and skincare products, we follow the rules that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets out for all unregulated skin products and dietary supplements. These rules are intended to protect you, the consumer. High-quality products like CBD lotion, CBD slave, and CBD lip balm have all exploded in popularity since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp products across the United States at the federal level. 

With CBD legal at the federal level, you should have no issues obtaining and using products containing less than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This is the compound most commonly associated with the marijuana plant that is responsible for the psychoactive effects or "high" it produces. CBD products do not produce this effect, nor do they contain more than trace amounts of THC. Still, you may want to check your state's laws and local legislation to be completely safe. 

Because our CBD products are currently not regulated by the FDA, we want you to understand that we cannot make any claims regarding the potential health benefits associated with our CBD creams, CBD body lotion, and other topicals. Seeking out the research-backed studies falls to you. We encourage you to explore how high-quality CBD products and pain relief cream can make a difference in people’s lives. Discuss your findings with your friends, family, and your online fellows.

How Do I Use CBD Topicals?

Topicals are super easy to use. For best results, simply take a small amount, and rub it thoroughly over the affected area. Repeat as many times as needed. Naternal topicals are formulated with the intent of leaving no oily residue or irritants behind, so they're good for those with acne or sensitive skin.

What Is the Right CBD Topical for Me?

The answer is it depends on use case. Whether you are looking for an effective way to recover from a strenuous workout or just looking for a skin-nourishing body lotion, the choice is entirely up to you. 

As for the correct potency and dosage, you may want to get your doctor's advice before trying something like a cannabidiol cream for the first time. We use our Trust the Dose system for our CBD oils and tinctures, which are ingested orally, but topical lotions start as high as 1,000 mg of CBD and reach up to 2,000 mg of CBD in the entire container. 

**Due to current regulations, our products cannot be evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any serious medical condition, ailment, or disease. 

Products may contain trace amounts of THC but will not produce psychoactive effects. Low percent THC may show up on a drug test, but drug tests will not generally be screening for CBD. Potential side effects of CBD may include dry mouth, diarrhea, drowsiness, fatigue, or loss of appetite. CBD may also interact with certain medications.
