CBD isn’t just for oils and tinctures anymore — it’s showing up in skincare, salves, soaks, and more. But when it comes to bath and body products, not all CBD is created equal. At That Sage Life, we use CBD distillate — and there's a reason we love it.
Here’s what it is, why it works, and how it can make your self-care routine even more soothing.
🌿 First Off: What Is CBD Distillate?
CBD distillate is a clean, concentrated form of cannabidiol (CBD) extracted from the hemp plant. It contains CBD along with other beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes, which can work together to enhance effectiveness — something called the entourage effect.
🧠 Fun fact: Research shows that cannabinoids like CBD may be more effective when used together, instead of in isolation.

🖐️ Why We Use It in Hand Salves
Your hands go through a lot — especially if you’re always working, creating, or in the dirt. Our CBD-infused hand salves help:
-
Soothe dry or irritated skin
-
Calm joint stiffness or soreness
-
Support skin repair naturally
🧠 Fun fact: A 2016 study found that topical CBD significantly reduced swelling and joint discomfort in animals with arthritis — promising results for human use, too.

🧴 CBD in Body Lotion: Hydration + Balance
CBD in body lotion does more than just moisturize. It may help your skin stay balanced and calm, especially if you're dealing with irritation, acne, or sensitivity.
🧠 Fun fact: Studies show CBD may help regulate oil production and reduce inflammation in the skin — making it great for acne-prone or sensitive types.

🛁 Salt Soaks That Actually Do Something
Salt soaks already help relax your muscles, but when combined with CBD, they become even more powerful. Warm water opens up your pores so CBD can get to work on sore spots and tension.
🧠 Fun fact: Research suggests CBD can be absorbed through the skin and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) effects.

💣 Why Add CBD to Bath Bombs?
Bath bombs are already indulgent — but adding CBD makes them therapeutic, too. As the bomb dissolves, CBD disperses into the warm water, helping your whole body unwind.
🧠 Fun fact: While research is still emerging, topical CBD has been explored for its potential to calm skin inflammation and ease stress-related skin reactions.

👇 So… Does Topical CBD Actually Work?
Yes — and it works without entering your bloodstream. Your skin has cannabinoid receptors (part of your body’s endocannabinoid system) that help manage things like inflammation, itching, and healing. Topical CBD interacts with those receptors directly, right where you apply it.
🧠 Fun fact: The skin’s endocannabinoid system plays a major role in skin balance — from moisture to immune defense.
