A Buyer's Guide to the Best CBD Product: Topicals or Ingestibles

Science-Rite:  Buyers Guide to the BEST CBD PRODUCTS

If you're new to the world of CBD or just looking for a fresh product, you might be wondering which type of cannabidiol is best for you. There are tons of CBD products available, but how do you know which type to go for?

This guide will take you through the basics of CBD topicals versus ingestible CBD and how to decide which is best for you. And, after you take a look at the basics, head to our Wellness Finder to pick a new favorite CBD product that fits all your needs.

Different CBD Products

Cannabidiol comes in a variety of different forms, from topicals to oral CBD to products you can inhale. Here, we'll stick to the most popular types: topicals and ingestible or oral CBD.

Topicals

Topical refers to anything you apply directly to your skin. If you use lotion, face wash, cream, or serum, you're already well-versed in the nature of a topical.

CBD topicals do not reach the bloodstream but instead may interact with the cannabinoid receptors on your skin. When it's added to topicals, CBD may have potential benefits like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

One of the best parts of CBD topicals is that they often include other natural ingredients that have been known to pamper and rejuvenate skin, such as aloe vera and organic oils, and to give relief, such as menthol, arnica, and camphor.

You'll find products like:

  • Serums
  • Lotions
  • Cleansers
  • Masks
  • Creams
  • Balms
  • Rubs
  • Roll-ons

Ingestibles

When you ingest CBD through the mouth, it's absorbed through the digestive tract. CBD also comes in tinctures or oils, which you place under the tongue (sublingually) to absorb into the bloodstream.

With that, you can experience CBD within a tasty snack. Often, CBD is combined with other natural ingredients like melatonin and MCT oil. The blend of plant-based ingredients combined with organic, natural flavors creates a delicious method for ingesting CBD orally.

CBD lovers use oral products for potential benefits like better sleep, increased focus, or improved relaxation.

You'll find ingestible products like:

  • Softgels
  • Oil Tinctures
  • Water Tinctures
  • Beverage Enhancers
  • Gummies

Finding the Right CBD Product

Because there are benefits to both forms of CBD, it can be hard to determine which one is right for you. To find what works, consider your desired effects from the product as well as your lifestyle.

Desired Effects

If you're interested in CBD, chances are there's something in your routine you want to modify. Ask yourself, how could CBD better my daily routine? Consider which areas of wellness you wish to enhance: activity, focus, sleep, beauty, or relaxation, and learn about the products available for each area.

Adding to Your Routine

After considering your desired effects, it's also essential to look at what will be easiest to add to your routine. If you're constantly on the run, a quick serving of CBD from an ingestible is the perfect add-on. On the other hand, a topical is a soothing addition if you want to add to your self-care routine.

Finding Wellness

Always remember to consult your doctor before using CBD. There are so many CBD products to choose from; it's just a matter of finding something that works for you.

Our Wellness Finder is an excellent tool for learning about which product will fit your lifestyle. Choose from items to support your health journey, productivity, outward beauty, relaxation, and more.
