CBD Cream for Muscle and Joint: Cooling Formula from CBD is a great water-based cream for aches and pains in muscles, joints and other deep tissue. Because it’s water-based, the cream absorbs nicely into the skin without the mess of some lotions. It also doesn’t have the strong, unpleasant smell of some pain creams.The ingredient profile is a nice mix of full spectrum CBD/CBG spectrum, organic coconut oil, organic sunflower seed oil, shea butter, and rosemary. We all know about CBD’s effectiveness, as it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
