The phyto-cannabinoid content and formulation of these products represents a tremendous value compared to other products available in the  health and beauty marketplace. Compare our smallest product - Kissentials Lip Balm -  to other lotions and salves.  You will be hard-pressed to find products with ingredient quality and potency near the same price.

 

It is well understood that skin and mucous membranes are highly receptive to ingredients applied directly to them. Cannabinoids that readily transfer through the skin, mouth, and mucous membranes bypass the digestive tract and go directly into the bloodstream, putting these potent molecules quickly to use where your body needs them most. Studies show that cannabinoids are effective in doses that seem tiny compared to most recreational use. A few milligrams of CBD applied topically can have therapeutic benefit for a wide range of conditions. Our customers inform us that they use these “lip balms” for a variety of needs; those with pre-cancerous skin blemishes report rapid reduction in size and color of these issues, arthritic joints feel relieved of pain quickly, infection is prevented or resolved in cuts and scrapes.

"Topical applications of hemp compounds also benefit the skin thanks to their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and immunity-modulating properties. Burns, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, and skin infections can all be relieved with the analgesic and antibacterial properties exhibited by hemp compounds when used in topicals." (Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem, 2016).

 

Dosage is only limited by the surface area the cannabinoid is applied to; the more of your body you apply it to, the greater the amount you will get into your bloodstream at once. There are many uses for hemp-based balms and cremes, and topically applied cannabinoids will give you more effective dose from each use when compared to edibles, smoking, or vaporizing.
