HEMP OINTMENT: HOW TO MAKE IT AT HOME?

HEMP OINTMENT: HOW TO MAKE IT AT HOME?

The health benefits of cannabis and its almost limitless applications are constantly being discovered. One of the new trends is the use of hemp cosmetic products. CBD cosmetic products such as ointments, lotions and creams are an easy way to treat pain, inflammation and hypersensitivity, plus they have a number of benefits in facial care. In this article, we'll introduce you to hemp beauty products in more detail and also show you how you can make them yourself at home.

What are hemp beauty products?

Hemp cosmetics include a range of creams, ointments, lotions, balms and gels that are made from hemp and are designed to be applied directly to the skin. The most common include:

  • Ointments,
  • creams,
  • body lotions,
  • lotions,
  • hemp gels,
  • soaps and scrubs,
  • massage oils,
  • lip balms.

Many people who use CBD for topical application have found that CBD helps soothe their skin and even relieves the intensity of joint and muscle pain. These products work by delivering the cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant directly to receptors on the skin and in the subcutaneous tissue. One of the reasons CBD works so well topically is because CBD is a powerful antioxidant.

Making your own hemp cosmetic products is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. Making hemp ointments and creams is technically very similar to making hemp butter. So if you know how to make hemp butter, you practically know how to make hemp ointment. Below you will find some recipes for making hemp cosmetic products.

CBD body lotion

CBD body lotions contain approximately 75% water and are therefore one of the most easily absorbed forms of topical products. They are an excellent choice for those who do not suffer from dry skin and desire a less oily complexion. They are easy to apply to a larger area of skin and are less greasy due to their lower oil content.

Raw materials

  • ¼ cup carrier oil of your choice (shea butter is great, for example)
  • ¾ cup water
  • 20 ml beeswax
  • 30 ml CBD oil (this amount can be adjusted according to the desired strength of the cream, you can also adjust the amount of carrier oil added accordingly to balance the product)
  • 1-3 drops of essential oil (can be omitted)

Procedure

  1. In a water bath, gently heat the carrier oil and beeswax and stir thoroughly until the wax dissolves.
  2. Then add the CBD oil and stir again.
  3. Remove from the stove and add a few drops of essential oil.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and add water in small increments while stirring until you reach the desired consistency.
  5. Pour the finished product into glass containers.
  6. Store in a dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

CBD cream

The same ingredients and a similar formula are used to make CBD cream as for CBD body lotion. However, the ratio of carrier oil and water is varied to create a different consistency. The creams are thinner than ointments and thicker than lotions. Therefore, they are more suitable for those who prefer a greasier type of product and for those suffering from dry skin types.

Raw materials

  • ¾ cup carrier oil of your choice
  • ¼ cup water
  • 20 ml beeswax
  • 30 ml CBD oil (as with the milk, you can adjust this amount according to the desired strength of the cream)
  • 1-3 drops of essential oil (can be omitted)

Procedure

  1. Gently heat the carrier oil and beeswax in a water bath and stir thoroughly until the wax melts.
  2. Then add the CBD oil and stir again.
  3. Remove from the stove and add a few drops of essential oil.
  4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly and add water in small increments while stirring until you reach the desired consistency.
  5. Pour the finished product into glass containers.
  6. Store in a dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

CBD ointment

CBDointment is probably the simplest when it comes to making hemp beauty products , as it contains no water at all and is made up of only three ingredients. Since it does not contain water, it has a very solid consistency. It is a topical product that is much thicker and sometimes greasier than creams and lotions. Therefore, you probably shouldn't apply the ointment all over your face, just dab a little on problem areas.

Ointments are ideal for intensive CBD application and skin hydration, and can be the best choice for muscle and joint pain relief.

Raw materials

  • 1 cup of carrier oil of your choice (you may choose coconut oil, for example)
  • 20 ml beeswax
  • 30 ml CBD oil (this amount can be adjusted according to the desired strength of the cream)
  • 1-3 drops of essential oil (can be omitted)

Procedure

  1. Gently heat the carrier oil and beeswax in a water bath and stir thoroughly until the wax melts.
  2. Then add the CBD oil and stir again.
  3. Remove from the stove and add a few drops of essential oil.
  4. The mixture thickens and solidifies as it cools, so transfer it from the pot to a small container before it has a chance to solidify completely.

You can add other complementary ingredients to topical preparations. For example, if you add frozen berries such as raspberries while heating beeswax and oil, you can make a tinted lip balm. Likewise, you can add a teaspoon of honey, vanilla, cocoa or other natural flavorings.

How to use hemp beauty products?

Using hemp beauty products is very easy. Just use a small amount of these products and then apply them lightly on the affected area. Massaging the topical product into the skin is most effective, as this will help the absorption of CBD into the skin and also increase blood circulation to the area. Many people like to use CBD to apply topically to their knees or elbows to relieve pain in these areas. Some people also use CBD to apply to the face to achieve a radiant and youthful appearance.
