Why People Use CBD Salve—and What Makes Source Different

CBD salve is one of the simplest ways to use hemp extract.

Instead of taking it by mouth, you apply it directly to a specific area of your body. There is no dropper to measure and nothing to swallow. You simply massage a small amount into the area where you want targeted support.

But with so many CBD topicals available, how do you know which one to choose?

It begins with understanding why people use CBD salve—and then looking at what is actually inside the jar.

What Do People Use CBD Salve For?

People commonly use CBD salve as part of their routine for hardworking muscles, joints and areas of everyday discomfort.

Popular application areas include:

• Hands and wrists
• Neck and shoulders
• Back
• Hips
• Knees
• Elbows
• Ankles and feet
• Muscles used during exercise or physical work

Some people keep salve beside the bed and apply it during their nighttime routine. Others use it after working out, gardening, hiking, standing all day or doing work that is physically demanding.

Because salve is applied topically, you can focus on one particular area instead of taking a whole-body product.

CBD Salve for Exercise and Recovery Routines

Exercise places temporary stress on muscles and joints. That is part of becoming stronger—but it can also leave your body asking for extra attention afterward.

Massaging CBD salve into the areas you worked can become part of your post-workout recovery routine, just like stretching, hydration and rest.

You do not have to be a competitive athlete to use it. CBD salve can fit into the routine of anyone who lifts weights, hikes, runs, rides horses, works on their feet or simply wants to keep moving comfortably.

CBD Salve for Everyday Wear and Tear

Not every hardworking body is coming home from the gym.

Repetitive movements, long hours at a desk, physical jobs, household projects and the general wear and tear of daily life can all leave certain areas needing extra care.

This is one reason people appreciate salve: it is easy to keep nearby and apply whenever they need it. You can keep a jar at home, beside your bed, in your gym bag or at work.

There is no complicated routine. Apply it, massage it in and continue with your day.

How Do You Apply CBD Salve?

Begin with a small amount and massage it thoroughly into clean, dry skin.

Rather than placing it on one tiny point, cover the surrounding area as well. This gives you the added benefit of massage while distributing the salve evenly across the skin.

Allow it to absorb before covering the area with clothing. You can apply more if needed or use it again later according to what feels right for your body.

CBD salve is intended for external use. Avoid the eyes and other sensitive areas, and do not apply it to broken or irritated skin unless the product specifically directs otherwise.

What Makes Source CBD Salve Different?

CBD salves can look similar from the outside, but their formulas can be very different.

Some products contain long lists of added ingredients or rely on menthol and camphor to create an immediate hot, cold or tingling sensation. That sensation may make a topical feel powerful, but it is coming from those additional ingredients—not the CBD.

Source salve keeps the focus on the hemp extract.

Only Three Ingredients

Source CBD Salve is made with:

• Arizona-sourced organic beeswax
• Organic coconut oil
• Hemp-derived CBD oil

That is it.

The organic coconut oil helps the salve glide smoothly across the skin, while the organic beeswax gives it its rich, balm-like consistency.

There are no artificial fragrances and no menthol or camphor creating an overpowering hot or cold sensation. This makes Source salve easy to use throughout the day without smelling like a traditional muscle rub.

It is a simple formula—and that simplicity is intentional.

Made With Full-Spectrum Hemp Extract

Source salve is made with full-spectrum hemp extract.

Full-spectrum means the extract preserves CBD along with the other naturally occurring cannabinoids and plant compounds found in hemp. Instead of isolating one component, it keeps more of the plant’s natural profile intact.

These compounds can work together through what is commonly referred to as the entourage effect.

We have believed in using full-spectrum hemp since starting Source in 2014. The hemp extract is not a trendy addition to our salve. It is the foundation of the product.

Three Clearly Labeled Strengths

Source CBD Salve is available in three strengths:

• 200 mg in a 2-ounce jar
• 500 mg in a 2-ounce jar
• 1,000 mg in a 2-ounce jar

Because each jar is the same size, choosing a higher strength means receiving a greater concentration of hemp extract in every application.

The 200 mg is a gentle introduction for someone who is new to CBD topicals or wants to use it on smaller areas.

The 500 mg is a more concentrated middle option for regular use.

The 1,000 mg is our highest-strength salve for customers who prefer the greatest concentration in each application.

Using a stronger salve does not necessarily mean applying more product. It means you receive more hemp extract in the same amount of salve.

Small-Batch and Family-Run Since 2014

Source began as a small, family-run company in Arizona in 2014.

More than one million products later, we still believe the details matter: what goes into a product, what gets left out and whether customers understand what they are buying.

Our salve is made in small batches with a deliberately uncomplicated formula. We have spent more than a decade listening to customers and helping people find the products and strengths that work best for their bodies.

Simple, Targeted Support

People use CBD salve because it is simple, targeted and easy to incorporate into everyday life.

What makes Source different is how carefully we have kept it that way.

Three ingredients. Three clearly labeled strengths. Full-spectrum hemp extract. No artificial fragrance and no added menthol or camphor used to create the illusion of strength.

Just a small-batch CBD salve made for hardworking bodies.
