CBD Warming Balm 1000mg

Description

A thick beeswax balm with capsicum and ginger and 1000mg of cannabidiol per tin. A CBD warming balm is the counterpart to the menthol products on the same shelf: capsaicin from capsicum acts on heat sensing receptors in skin rather than cold ones, which is why this one feels warm and the freeze roll on feels cold. Both are cosmetic ingredients and we describe them as nothing more than that.

What is in a tin of cbd warming balm

Total milligrams, concentration in milligrams per gram, and each declared ingredient with its amount.

• CBD warming balm: 1000mg of cannabidiol per tin
• Base: beeswax and oil, with no water phase and no preservative needed
• Capsicum: declared on the label with its concentration
• Ginger: declared on the label as a cosmetic ingredient
• Concentration: printed in milligrams per gram alongside the total
• Price: $49 a tin, with the price per milligram printed under it

Capsaicin, described accurately

Capsaicin is the compound that makes chillies hot and it acts on a heat and pain sensing receptor in skin, which is a well documented mechanism and a statement about capsaicin rather than about cannabidiol. At cosmetic concentrations the sensation builds over a minute or two and lingers, which is different from menthol’s immediate cold. A CBD warming balm therefore does two separate things in one tin, and both ingredients are named with their amounts rather than blended into a story. Plain summaries of what has been studied in botanicals are kept at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Why a cbd warming balm uses a wax base

Balms are wax and oil with no water, so they are dense, keep well without preserving, and sit on the surface rather than sinking in. This one is thicker than most, which means a smaller amount covers less area and stays put longer. Beeswax gives it a melting point above body temperature, so it stays solid in a bag and softens on contact. The topical range prints concentration in milligrams per gram on every listing, because that is what is actually on your hands rather than what you paid for.

Where to put it, and where not to

A CBD warming balm with capsicum in it belongs nowhere near eyes, broken skin or anywhere that will later be touched before washing your hands. Capsaicin transfers readily and it does not wash off with water alone. Patch test a small area first, and start with less than you think: the sensation builds rather than arriving all at once, so judging the amount by the first thirty seconds leads to using too much. None of that is a warning about the cannabidiol.

Testing every batch

Every batch of this CBD warming balm is assayed by a laboratory with no ownership tie to this company for cannabinoid content, heavy metals, pesticides and microbials. On an anhydrous product potency and the metals panel are the lines worth reading, since there is no water phase for anything to grow in. Batches under their printed milligrams are withdrawn from sale and the failing certificate stays published next to the passing ones, as this note explains.

What the published topical literature measures

For capsaicin, a reasonable amount: it appears in regulatory ingredient monographs and has been studied topically at a range of concentrations. For cannabidiol on skin, much less: human studies are few and small, usually describing a gel or cream at a stated milligram per gram concentration on a defined area, with most mechanistic work in cell culture or rodent models. A wax base behaves differently from a gel, so figures do not transfer. Those are descriptions of published research rather than claims about this tin.
