More about THC balms
These come in tins and twist-up sticks, and the figure worth comparing is total milligrams against how much product the container holds, since a lip stick and a two ounce tin can list the same number. Most give a THC to CBD ratio rather than a single potency. Bases are usually beeswax, shea or coconut oil, and ingredient lists are short enough to read in full.
Balms are the firmest and most portable thing in this category, so they end up in bags and lockers rather than on a shelf, and people restock them in small sizes. Buyers who already keep cannabis lotions at home often add a stick to carry. Look for a batch number and lab testing, and note that topical rules vary by state.
Frequently Asked Questions about THC balms
What is a cannabis balm?
A cannabis balm is a thick, wax-based product infused with cannabis or hemp extract and applied directly to the skin. Balms sit at the firm end of the topical range. They are usually built on beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter, or a carrier oil, which is what keeps them solid or semi-solid at room temperature. You warm a small amount between your fingers and spread it over one area of skin. Most balms combine that extract with botanical ingredients, and labels commonly state a total cannabinoid amount per jar or tin. Formulas run THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, or a stated ratio of the two. Balms are not designed to carry cannabinoids into the bloodstream, so they generally do not produce the intoxication that inhaled or swallowed cannabis does. Availability depends on your state.
How is a cannabis balm different from a lotion or a transdermal patch?
Balms carry the least water of the common topicals. A lotion is thin and spreads across large areas, while a balm is dense and stays where you put it, so a small tin goes a long way. Keep balms away from heat, because wax bases soften. The sharper contrast is with transdermal patches, which are built to move cannabinoids through the skin and into the bloodstream and can be intoxicating. Balms are formulated to stay at the application site.
