Balms, salves, creams, roll-ons and gels

Balms and salves (12 here) are firm and wax based, sold in tins, jars and sticks. A little covers a wide area, and a stick keeps your fingers clean.

Creams and lotions (14 here) are water and oil blends, softer and lighter than a balm, in jars, tubes and pumps.

Roll-ons and gels (7 here) are a liquid or gel with a ball or a tube. Many add menthol for a cooling feel on the skin.

Body and massage oils, patches and bath bombs round out the list. The arnica products are made from the flowers of Arnica montana and are compared by the ounce in the arnica table.

How to compare CBD topicals

Compare the total CBD in the container, not the size of the jar. A 2 oz tin can hold more CBD than a 4 oz jar.

Cost per mg is the price divided by that total. Here it runs from $0.008/mg (Neurogan CBD Body Lotion) to $0.112/mg (NuLeaf Naturals Massage Oil, Calm CBN), so two products at the same price can differ several times over.

3 topicals hold 4,000 mg of CBD or more: Neurogan CBD Body Lotion, Neurogan CBD Muscle Balm and Neurogan CBD Salve.

What the label tells you

The label gives the total CBD, the size, the ingredients and a batch number. The batch number matches the brand's lab report, which shows what the batch held.

Full spectrum keeps the plant's other compounds, including a little THC. Broad spectrum removes the THC, and isolate is CBD alone. Each card and table here names the extract the brand lists.

Some topicals also list an over-the-counter active, such as menthol or camphor, in a Drug Facts panel. That panel is printed on the package.

What is the difference between a CBD balm, salve, cream and roll-on?
