What separates a good one is how much cannabinoid extract goes in, what kind it is, and whether the label says so. A fair number of balms on the UK market list hemp oil that turns out to be pressed seed oil, which contains almost no CBD. There is nothing wrong with seed oil on the skin, but it is a different ingredient. If a tin gives you no milligram figure for CBD and no batch certificate to check it against, be wary of the word hemp on the front.\r\n\r\nOurs begin with the full spectrum CO2 extract we make from hemp grown organically on our own land, the same extract that goes into our oils. Carbon dioxide under pressure does the work a chemical solvent would do elsewhere, so nothing from the process is left in the jar. The salve holds 25mg of CBD per millilitre in both sizes, so the 250mg 10ml tin and the 750mg 30ml jar are the same strength in a different quantity. You choose by how much you get through. Each batch then goes to an independent laboratory, and only goes on sale once the report is back.\r\n\r\nBecause a balm contains no water, it feels richer than a cream and stays where you put it. That is why people use one on dry hands, elbows and heels, and for a slow massage at the end of the day. It has a downside worth admitting: a balm takes a little working in and can leave the skin slightly glossy for a while, which matters if you are about to pull on a shirt. If you would rather have something light that sinks in quickly, a cream is the better fit. For staying power, the balm wins."],"_intro_section_section_content":["field_6a952cfe8a18e"],"intro_section":[""],"_intro_section":["field_6a952c3a8a18b"],"usp_items":["5"],"_usp_items":["field_6a952db73d218"],"comparison_section_heading":["Compare Endoca CBD Balms and Salves"],"_comparison_section_heading":["field_6a95305787a51"],"comparison_section_description":["Every balm and salve in the UK range, compared by extract type, what each holds, who it suits and what is inside.\r\n"],"_comparison_section_description":["field_6a9530f087a52"],"comparison_section_table_headers":["5"],"_comparison_section_table_headers":["field_6a99019625eef"],"comparison_section_table_rows":["3"],"_comparison_section_table_rows":["field_6a95310087a53"],"comparison_section":[""],"_comparison_section":["field_6a95303487a50"],"strength_table_heading":[""],"_strength_table_heading":["field_6ad0a6f35934d"],"strength_table_description":[""],"_strength_table_description":["field_6ad0a6f35934e"],"strength_table_table_headers":[""],"_strength_table_table_headers":["field_6ad0a6f35934f"],"strength_table_table_rows":[""],"_strength_table_table_rows":["field_6ad0a6f359351"],"strength_table":[""],"_strength_table":["field_6ad0a6f35934c"],"content_with_image_section_heading":["What Is a CBD Balm?"],"_content_with_image_section_heading":["field_6a95435b07517"],"content_with_image_section_content":["A CBD balm is hemp extract blended into waxes and plant oils, with no water in the mix. You warm a little between your fingers and massage it in. A CBD salve is the same thing under another name. A cream is an emulsion of oil and water, so it feels lighter and is absorbed faster. Leaving the water out has a practical side too: there is no need for an emulsifier to keep oil and water together, so the list of ingredients on the back of the tin stays short and readable.\r\n\r\nOn the skin, cannabinoids mostly stay in the outer layers rather than travelling into the bloodstream as drops held under the tongue do. That is why balms are used on one area at a time, and why they sit apart from oils and capsules in the range. For the same reason, the milligram total on a tin and the total on a bottle of drops are not comparable figures. The Food Standards Agency's novel food rules are written for products you swallow, and a cosmetic applied to the skin sits under a different set of rules.\r\n\r\nStart with a small amount on clean, dry skin and massage until it softens. A balm is firm in the tin and melts at skin temperature, so do not be put off if it feels stiff when you first open it. If your skin is sensitive, try a small patch first, and look over the ingredients on the product page if a particular plant oil or wax has bothered you before. Keep it away from your eyes and from broken skin, and give your hands a wash after using the mint
