Our CBD balm collection: the original launch

Our CBD balm collection: the original launch

18/08/2023

This archived announcement introduced our CBD balm collection in a 30 ml size and a 2 ml sample size. It records the range at launch; the collection page below shows the products currently listed.

The launch focused on handmade balms described as organic, with ingredients including cacao seed butter and green coffee bean extract. These were presented as ingredients for skin care. The ingredient list for each individual product is the place to check its formulation; a food-grade ingredient description does not mean that a finished cosmetic balm is intended to be eaten.

The original collection included Natural, Calm, Fruit, Sensitive, Chocolate, Vegan and Tattoo. The Tattoo version was developed with tattoo care in mind, including stencilling, tattooing and aftercare. These uses require the appropriate product and professional guidance: the launch announcement does not establish faster healing or suitability for every stage of a fresh tattoo. The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology’s tattoo aftercare guidance recommends following the professional tattooist’s wound-care instructions and using appropriate aftercare materials.

The balm collection and its skin-care focus

The collection’s skin-care concept centred on moisture retention and ingredients such as cacao butter and coffee extract. Ingredient properties alone do not establish the performance of every finished balm. Under the EU’s common criteria for cosmetic claims, product benefits need relevant evidence. The earlier promises of flawless skin, reduced redness and swelling, and skin rejuvenation should therefore not be read as established results for this collection.

The launch announcement also described testing in Switzerland for cannabinoid composition and microbiological quality. For a particular product or batch, the relevant laboratory report provides the scope, methods and results of the tests performed. This general launch description does not supply those reports or establish a clinical effect.

The original description emphasised ingredients and substances it said the products did not contain: additives, preservatives, colourants and dyes, fragrances, parabens, pesticides, herbicides, toxins, heavy metals, solvents and synthetic cannabinoids. That broad list is not a substitute for the individual formulation and relevant test results. Check the product’s ingredient information and available documentation for specific claims; the launch wording does not establish that every item is absent from every balm or that all legally permitted cosmetic ingredients are harmful.
