What is CBD?

If you’ve been on the internet for more than 14 seconds, you’ve probably seen someone talking about CBD. It’s in lotions, gummies, pet treats, bath bombs, and even fancy lattes for people who want to feel “zen” at 7 AM. But what actually is CBD — and why is it everywhere?

Let’s break it down simply, without the science headache.

CBD 101: The Basics

CBD (short for cannabidiol) is one of over 100 naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC — the compound that produces a high — CBD is non-intoxicating. Translation: you can use it and still function, grocery shop, coach soccer, and remember where you put your keys.

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in things like balance, relaxation, and overall wellness support. While research is still developing, many people use CBD as part of their daily routine to support a sense of calm, comfort, or post-activity recovery.

Why Topicals Like CBD Salves Are Popular

Topical CBD products, like salves, balms, and creams, are applied directly to the skin. They’re commonly used for:

Post-workout routines

Everyday comfort rituals

Soothing massage

General wellness support

Many users simply enjoy the ritual of rubbing in a botanical-rich salve — it’s one of the easiest ways to add a little “ahhh” to your day.
