Topical Support through the Skin

It is a natural hemp product. It brings together a broad spectrum of the hemp plant’s beneficial compounds in a base of natural oils. Your body has its own balancing network, the endocannabinoid system, and these plant compounds are ones it already recognises, so they help support it.

It is one of the body’s main balancing systems. It runs through your nervous system, immune system, gut and skin, and its job is to keep everything steady. Your body even makes its own cannabinoids. In many of us that system is not running at its best, and the hemp compounds in this help supplement it.

Modern life tends to work against it. The body builds its own cannabinoids largely from omega-3 fats, yet most modern diets are heavy in omega-6, from processed foods and industrial seed oils, and short on omega-3. That leaves the system short on raw material.

Ongoing stress, poor sleep, too little movement, alcohol and simply getting older can all lower it further. As whole, varied foods give way to processed and heavily modified ingredients, diets drift further from the balance the system depends on. When it runs low, plant compounds from hemp can help supplement it.

Yes, quite a lot. The same habits that keep the rest of you healthy also feed the ECS: more omega-3 (oily fish, walnuts, flax and the like) and fewer processed foods, regular movement, good sleep, and keeping stress in check. Whole-plant hemp is one more way to support the system alongside these basics, not a replacement for them.

No. This comes from hemp, marijuana’s sister plant. Marijuana is grown for THC, the part that makes people feel high. Hemp is grown for the supportive compounds. There is nothing in this that gets you high.

No. The part of the plant that makes people high is THC, and this is made to contain no meaningful THC, so it cannot affect your mind or your mood. What it does is quietly support your body’s own balancing system.

Our independent lab testing shows no detectable THC in these products, so the risk is very low. Even so, no product can promise a particular result on every test for every person.

If you are subject to regular or sensitive drug testing, check with your employer or testing provider first.

By law, hemp can carry a small legal trace of THC, under 0.3 percent, so products are not usually labelled THC-free. In this product, independent testing found THC to be non-detectable, below the level the lab can measure.

No, and that is the point. This is not a single-ingredient CBD product. It brings together eleven different hemp compounds that work as a team. That teamwork, often called the entourage effect, is why a broad-spectrum blend gives more complete support than CBD alone.

Your endocannabinoid system has three working parts. First, your body makes its own messenger molecules, called endocannabinoids. Second, it has receptors, mainly CB1 (concentrated in the brain and nervous system) and CB2 (found more in the immune system, the skin and other tissues), that these messengers dock onto like a key fitting a lock. Third, it has enzymes that build the messengers when they are needed and clear them away once the job is done, so the system acts only when and where it should.

The hemp compounds in this are close natural relatives of your own endocannabinoids, so they fit the same receptors and work alongside the same enzymes. When your own supply is running low, they help top up the signal, giving the system a little more to work with as it does its everyday job of keeping the body in balance.

That is right. The endocannabinoid system is not tied to a single job. It helps keep everyday things like comfort, the skin, rest and recovery in balance throughout the body, so supporting it can be useful in more than one situation rather than for a single, narrow purpose.

It depends on your own system. Some people notice a soothing effect within five to ten minutes. For others it takes longer, because the body works with it rather than masking a feeling. Give it a fair chance.

For steady support, many people use it through the day while they need it, then ease back to morning and night once things settle. Use it as often as feels comfortable.

Yes. It is a gentle, soothing balm, so many people use it for everyday skin comfort, dryness and minor irritation. Apply a small amount and give it about ten minutes. As with any new skincare, try a small patch first.

It is made from natural plant oils and hemp, and is generally well tolerated. As with any botanical product, do a small patch test first, and stop if it does not suit you. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication, check with your healthcare provider before use.

The Kaneh Bosm Oil is fully plant-based (vegan), made only from natural botanical oils with no synthetic additives. The Salve is all-natural with no synthetic additives, but it contains natural beeswax, so it is not vegan.
