Discovering the Benefits of High Concentration CBD Cream

Discovering the Benefits of High Concentration CBD Cream

In recent years, CBD products have surged in popularity, promising a myriad of health benefits ranging from pain relief to anxiety reduction. Among these products, CBD creams have gained significant attention for their localized application and potential effectiveness in managing various conditions. One particular variant that has piqued interest is high concentration CBD cream.

Releef Direct Solutions offers one of the highest concentration CBD creams on the market today, with 2000 mg of CBD isolate contained in 2oz.  That’s 1000mg/ounce of CBD isolate. 

Understanding CBD Creams 

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the hemp plant. Unlike its cousin THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not produce a psychoactive high and is not derived from the cannabis plant. Instead, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating pain, mood, sleep, and immune function.

CBD creams are topical products infused with CBD extract, often combined with other soothing ingredients such as essential oils or herbs.  When applied to the skin, they target localized areas of discomfort or inflammation, making them popular among those seeking relief from muscle soreness, joint pain, or skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.  Of course, this hasn’t been proven to the satisfaction of the FDA – but more on that later.  CBD is known to be an effective moisturizer.

Choosing the Right Product 

Incorporating high concentration CBD cream into your wellness routine could be a game-changer, providing comfort and Releef exactly where you need it most.  If you’ve already tried regular CBD cream, found it effective but not as effective as you’d like, try a high-concentration CBD cream.

Why not demand more from your high concentration CBD cream?  Releef Direct Solutions offers not only 1000mg/ounce of CBD, our cream offers beneficial ingredients such as: 

  • Organic Arnica – A well-known homeopathic staple, used for healing bruises and aches.
  • Organic Aloe Vera – No kitchen garden would be complete without an aloe vera, ready to offer skin-soothing properties to burns and cuts.
  • Organic Jojoba Oil – Rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, this anti-inflammatory oil is considered one of the finest skin care ingredients on the planet.
  • Organic Shea Butter – Antifungal, antimicrobial?   But organic shea butter is known to be incredibly soothing to skin.
  • Vitamin A  – Well known for skin benefits, Vitamin A is in many creams for your face.
  • Organic Chamomile extract - Soothing chamomile works on skin as well as in your cup of bedtime tea.

The FDA's Stance on CBD

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating products that we consume, including food, drugs, cosmetics, and dietary supplements. When it comes to CBD, the FDA's approach has been cautious and methodical due to several factors:

  • Historical Legal Status: CBD was classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act until the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived CBD that contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive component of cannabis).
  • Regulatory Oversight: The FDA asserts authority over products containing CBD intended for therapeutic use, such as drugs or dietary supplements.

As of now, the FDA has approved only one CBD-based prescription drug – Epidiolex. This medication is used to treat seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome. Epidiolex underwent rigorous clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy before receiving FDA approval.

Navigating the Complexities of FDA Regulation on CBD

In recent years, CBD has emerged as a popular wellness trend, promising a wide range of potential benefits from pain relief to anxiety reduction. However, the regulatory landscape surrounding CBD products in the United States has been complex and evolving.  

Because of the costs involved with testing substances to the satisfaction of the FDA (and in order to make any claims about pain relief, anxiety reduction, etc.), we think that it is unlikely that any company will make the financial outlay to make CBD an OTC drug. High concentration CBD creams like our own bring you more CBD – but what CBD does (or does not) is between you and your experience.   If you have any questions, please ask your doctor.

As a customer, you can look for QR codes (required by several states) on the packaging that lead to 3rd party certificates of analysis for any CBD product.   You can look to see if the company is using the FDA disclaimer on all CBD products (required by law).  As for whether or not CBD is for you – that’s something you’ll have to see for yourself.

At Releef Direct Solutions, we believe in being regulatory compliant and in bringing you the highest quality direct solutions.   We know what our customers say about our products, but as the regulatory climate is what it is, we say:

This product does not claim to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease and has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA.  For external use only.   Avoid contact with eyes, and keep out of reach of children.   Consult your physician if you are taking medication, are pregnant or nursing.   Discontinue use if irritation or discomfort occurs. “

Conclusion

As the market for CBD products of all kinds evolves, the demand for high concentration CBD creams, like the one we offer will continue to grow.   We know that the educated consumer will want the most for their dollar, and we deliver just that. 

We’re here to offer you something new for your CBD dollar – high concentration CBD, usually only found in boutiques, priced for the mainstream market.
