Why you should be applying CBD to your skin
BLOG BY SHANI KAPLAN
What does transdermal mean and how can it benefit you?
“I am a very active individual, training up to 6x a week. Due to this, I really try to focus on my recovery. I used to just use the tinctures but since adding in the Recovery Oil to my regime, I have noticed a HUGE difference. My soreness post-exercise has decreased exponentially! Thank you, Truth Naturals!"

CBD is all the rage, and we are obviously HUGE fans. Our customers have been loving the results from our CBD products. But we don’t just mean taking CBD orally, but also using it on your skin to help with that much-needed recovery and/or alleviating pain. It is such a great aid to an active lifestyle or a perfect little helper to those suffering from pesky pain and injury.
What does transdermal mean?
The problem is that most brands only make CBD creams and oils as a topical treatment (which costs a lot less and is nowhere near as effective!). This only seeps into the top 3 layers of the skin and in that specific area applied in; meaning that the CBD won’t make its way into your bloodstream. That is where transdermal comes in. Transdermal was created to penetrate through the user’s skin and into your bloodstream, working through the entirety of your body!
Scientists found a way to mix emulsifiers and chemical compounds with CBD to allow for this effect and make it extremely bioavailable for your body, so you really feel the effects.
Yes, this means the product’s price point will be higher, but understandably so. A topical product requires only a DIY job of adding ingredients like coconut oil, whereas this is not (safely) possible with transdermal CBD and needs the right combination for effectiveness.
A bit more about our products:
Our Recovery Oil
We have mixed CBD with Australian eucalyptus oil to create the best on-the-go recovery oil for powerful muscle recovery. Athletes love this product! If you are serious about your training (and recovery) this would be ideal for you.
Eucalyptus oil provides a cooling sensation and with its anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties, which when mixed with CBD helps take care of your discomfort by providing the ultimate pain relief.
Whenever you feel any pain or stiffness just simply roll the recovery oil onto the affected area and gently massage it into the skin.

Our CBD Restorative Cream
With CBD becoming an exciting new topic of research in regard to skincare, we knew we wanted to give our customers the option to utilise ALL of its benefits.
Our full spectrum CBD has been mixed with a powerful blend of Vitamin C & Wheatgrass extract. Why? Because vitamin C helps reduce redness, smooths out fine lines & wrinkles as it aids in collagen formation.
This mixed with the high anti-oxidant properties of wheatgrass really helps to combat puffiness from those dreaded "restless sleeps", giving you that rejuvenated, fresh appearance we all strive for.
