Learn about CBD Muscle Balm
We produce our CBD balms, sometimes called CBD ointments, in our UK laboratory using our organically grown CBD and a beautiful blend of essential oils. Customers use CBD balms particularly to provide relief for sore muscles and joints.

Thicker than a cream, CBD balms need to be massaged into the affected area to provide the best relief which has made CBD balm the go-to product for many sports enthusiasts and sports professionals looking for relief and recovery in muscles.

Hemp balm is sometimes used as a pseudonym for CBD balm but not all hemp balm contains CBD, so something to check as CBD is by far the most beneficial ingredient. Meanwhile, if you think you would prefer an easily absorbed CBD Cream then check out our other award-winning products.

Our CBD muscle balm comes in a choice of 500mg or 1000mg CBD strengths, depending on your needs. Tried and tested, this product delivers targeted CBD relief to muscles and can be great for recovery. The thick and creamy CBD muscle balm also provides a moisturising after-effect. As with all of our topical products, our muscle balm absorbs into the skin quickly and effectively, giving you fast relief. Some customers describe this as a CBD tiger balm due to the similarity in smell which comes from the same essential oils that are used in both products. Apart from CBD, some of the key ingredients in our muscle balm are:
– Peppermint Arvensis
– Cajeput
– Eucalyptus Blue Gum
– Vitamin E

How to use CBD Muscle Balm
A pea-sized amount is good for a smaller muscle area such as the forearm or upper trapezius for shoulder or neck pain. Scaling this up for a larger area such as a thigh or back. The strength of balm will determine the CBD that your skin can absorb, with the maximum strength CBD balm being twice as strong. If you aren’t experiencing enough relief, try using more balm or purchasing a higher strength.

Looking for CBD balm in the UK?
Whether you call it a CBD balm, salve or ointment, this is the same family of product: a rich, wax-based topical you work into the skin exactly where it’s needed. Ours is hand-made in York on a soya wax and cocoa seed butter base with eucalyptus, cajeput and mint essential oils, in 500mg and 1000mg strengths (10mg and 20mg of CBD per ml — the 1000mg is the strong option most returning customers choose). Balm suits smaller, targeted areas and massage-style application; if you’d rather have a lighter, fast-absorbing texture, our award-winning cooling CBD cream is the alternative, and the cooling gel roll-on covers on-the-go use.
