CBD cream is hugely popular in the Netherlands. More and more people are using CBD cream, CBD serum, CBD mask and CBD gel in different ways in their daily lives. CBD (Cannabidiol) has undoubtedly become a part of the daily routines of many women and men in many cultures. Moreover, there are large-scale studies around the world that further explore the many aspects of CBD oil on skin lubrication.

In addition to oral administration of CBD (placing CBD oil drops under the tongue), one of the other methods of use, which is gaining more attention from both scientists and users, is the topical administration methods of cannabinoids. In other words, smearing CBD on the skin. So we can clearly see how the applicability of CBD oil continues to evolve in the right direction per need and per individual. At Nordic Oil, our commitment to creating awareness, educating people and making CBD more accessible is at the forefront of our mission. This is reflected in our high-quality and innovative CBD products.

We encourage you to take the time to research, understand CBD oil effects and make informed decisions when buying Nordic Oil CBD cream and skincare. Below is a detailed overview of our CBD creams.

What are topical modes of administration with CBD?

Cannabidiol or CBD is a natural constituent of cannabis and hemp plants and is now, alongside THC, one of the most researched and popularised constituents of the cannabis sativa plant. However, growing scientific research in the field of cannabis is leading to increasingly promising possibilities for the development of non-psychoactive cannabis products.

CBD topicals, or topical modes of administration, are available in the form of creams, balms, gels, serums and lotions. CBD topicals is actually a collective name. They are infused with CBD (cannabidiol) and are applied directly to the skin. Therefore, topical administration of CBD is becoming increasingly popular, both in cosmetic practice and for various personal applications.

Although CBD oils, capsules and dietary supplements are effective when administered orally (sublingual), one cannot deny the impairment of supplements by digestive processes in the human body. For discomforts like itchy or irritated skin, muscle strains or joint pain, oral routes of CBD administration may not be as effective as the topical alternatives.

CBD dietary supplements are therefore becoming an option to improve the quality of life of many people suffering from skin conditions and inflamed joints and muscles. CBD in the form of balms or creams targets the problem area of the affected skin, providing relief and relaxation, unlike oral or sublingual routes.

What's in a CBD day cream?

In general, topicals in the form of a cream or lotion may contain a water base to moisturise the skin, while balms are usually oily or have a thick base such as beeswax or shea butter. Moreover, CBD topicals can be infused with rich ingredients such as vitamin A, vitamin E, essential oils and more. Topicals containing CBD are widely used for relieving pain and keeping skin healthy.

CBD gel and liposomal technology

Liposomes are one of the newest and most advanced technologies within the pharmaceutical and CBD oil industries. They serve as transport vessels to carry beneficial substances directly to the cell, bypassing degradation by certain enzymes in the body. Whether in dietary supplements or gels, CBD liposomes have captured users' preferences and interests in an exceptional and much-needed way.

The dual nature of liposomes (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) delivers higher concentrations of CBD directly to tissues, leading to greatly enhanced bioavailability. Moreover, they are non-toxic, thermodynamically stable, and non-irritating to the skin. CBD dietary supplements administered via liposomes can thus be considered safer for long-term application or long-term use.

How to use CBD day cream?

You can use the CBD cream just as you would use a moisturising night cream or other skincare products. Take a small amount (the size of a pea) of the CBD cream, apply it gently to the desired area and let it soak in through the skin. The skin will then absorb the benefits of the CBD (cannabinoids). Our CBD creams are available in different consistencies, for different purposes. Eyr, Freyja, and Valkyrie are all creams and Thor is in a CBD gel form. We also have our CBD lip balm, for the colder autumn and winter months.

A tip for our Thor CBD gel: use a warm towel or massage the skin before applying the gel. This will warm up the affected muscle or joint and can help improve the absorption of CBD even more.

Why use CBD cream?

The formulation of our CBD products is designed to increase the amount of CBD molecules absorbed by the skin.

While creams are easy to spread over the skin and are absorbed quickly, CBD balms have a thick layer and stay on the skin longer. As a result, the skin benefits from the effects of CBD by absorbing it slowly and consistently.

In addition, regular use of CBD creams helps boost the skin's natural regenerative capacity, eliminating the risk of any skin conditions.

In addition, the liposomal technology used in our CBD cream delivers active ingredients directly to the skin cells.

Our CBD lip balm is hemp-derived full spectrum CBD combined with vitamins A and E, as well as other natural ingredients all added to keep your lips healthy and moisturised for a long time.

Valkyrie CBD Ointment is made from CBD isolate and is a certified Class I medical device (Medical Device). The CBD ointment forms a shield that protects the skin from the release of excess moisture, reduces blemishes and provides soothing relief for congested skin.

In the end, choosing the right CBD topical is your personal choice and depends on the condition you want to treat, so it's important to establish what your skin needs first.

But we have made choosing the right CBD topical easy for you, by including detailed product descriptions and key highlights of each topical on our webshop.

Importance of certificate of analysis (COA) in creams

Most dietary supplements, chemicals and pharmaceutical products undergo quality testing in a laboratory. So do CBD products. An external laboratory analyses and confirms whether the individual product of a batch meets the specification and issues an attested quality assurance document. This is called the certificate of analysis (COA). It contains the actual results obtained from testing a sample of the (e.g. CBD oil) product. Today, the market is flooded with different companies offering CBD products online and in shops. Many brands are dishonest about the cannabinoid content in their products and use incorrect labelling practices.

For example, you may come across topical CBD creams sold under the name balm, gel, ointment or cream. These terms all have the same meaning and are interchangeably used jargon within the collective name topicals. So it is crucial to look further into the product specifications and detailed information on the label, and most importantly - check for a third-party (third party) laboratory report. In any case, we always recommend taking the time to investigate the quality of the ingredients and production standards claimed by the CBD product before you buy it. A COA document contains unbiased information about a CBD product. This is an indispensable tool and a sure way for consumers to access high-quality standard CBD products.

Can CBD creams have side effects?

One of the main benefits of CBD creams is that it eliminates intestinal biome processes. Hence, the safety profile of topical CBD products is superior compared to other supplements and creams are safe to use on most skin types.

In rare cases, however, new CBD cream users may experience mild irritation. Such occurrences may be due to the reaction of the active ingredients on your skin. People suffering from serious skin conditions should seek advice before using CBD oil, CBG oil or CBD cream. Finally, remember to always maintain good personal hygiene, drink plenty of water and follow a nutritious diet.
