With the growing interest in CBD products, CBD Massage Oil has become a popular choice for those seeking targeted relief. However, there's often confusion about what sets CBD Massage Oil apart from other CBD products. Beyond its soothing application, the differences are found in the formulation, intended use, and quality of the source plant material.
The top questions remain:
Can I use the CBD Oil that I have for a CBD Oil massage?
Do I need to buy fancy “Massage CBD Oil?”
Let's dive in.
What is CBD Massage Oil?
Oftentimes you’ll see a CBD Massage Oil that blends CBD extract with soothing carrier oils like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. It's crafted especially for use during massages, helping you relax and ease muscle tension. The CBD in the oil works with your body's endocannabinoid system through the skin, providing targeted relief right where you need it, without entering the bloodstream.
So essentially it is CBD Oil mixed with other specific Oils made for massages.
How Does CBD Massage Oil Differ from CBD Oil?
Production and Formulation:
CBD Massage Oil: This type of CBD product is all about topical application. It's often enhanced with essential oils or botanical extracts that not only smell great but also add benefits like calming or uplifting effects. The carrier oils used are chosen for their nourishing qualities, making the oil gentle and hydrating for your skin.
CBD Oils for Ingestion: These are designed to be taken internally. They typically use carrier oils like MCT oil, hemp seed oil, or olive oil, which are great for ingestion. Ingestible CBD oils might also include flavors to make them more palatable.
Application and Use:
CBD Massage Oil: This is for external use only, perfect for massages. The ingredients are chosen to be safe and beneficial for your skin, but they aren't meant to be consumed. So, it's best to keep it on the outside!
CBD Oils for Ingestion: These are made to be ingested, whether you take them under the tongue or mix them into food or drinks. While you can apply them to the skin in a pinch, they won't have the same skin-care benefits as products made specifically for topical use.
Can You Use Ingestible CBD Oil as Massage Oil or Vice Versa?
While you can technically use ingestible CBD oil on your skin, it's not ideal because it lacks the consistency and additional skin-friendly ingredients found in massage oils. Only certain brands and product allows for the diversity of ingesting the Oil and using it directly on the skin
On the flip side, CBD massage oils shouldn't be ingested since they're not formulated for that purpose and might contain ingredients that aren't safe to consume.
Vermont Whole Flower’s formulation allows you to use it for ingestion but also as a massage oil if that is your desire. It is made from all organic coconut MCT Oil binded with our CBD Flowers.
Source Plant Material for CBD Massage Oil
Many CBD massage oils are made using whole plant extracts, which often include flowers, leaves, stems, and stalks. However, this approach can be less than ideal. Using the whole plant, including stems and stalks—often referred to as “Whole Plant” or “Full Spectrum”—can dilute the quality of the oil. These parts have fewer cannabinoids and terpenes compared to the flowers, leading to a less potent product.
Unfortunately, using whole plant material is often done to maximize yield rather than focusing on quality, resulting in a product that's 80% composed of lower quality plant material.
Do Trichomes play a role in better quality CBD massage Oil?
Absolutely! Products that are derived from the Whole plant generally are using immature trichomes found on the stalk stem and leaves. A product with high-quality, mature trichomes is generally considered to be of better quality compared to one with immature trichomes, especially when it comes to CBD products.
Mature trichomes are richer in cannabinoids, such as CBD. These are the birthplace for the CBD which is held inside mature trichomes. Immature trichomes hold CBD that is not yet developed. Similar to an unripened tomato.
Source Plant Material for Ingestible CBD Oil
For CBD oils intended for ingestion, the best products are made from trimmed cbd flowers. The flowers of the hemp plant are rich in cannabinoids and terpenes, making them the most potent part of the plant.
Products that focus on using these flowers provide a more effective and higher-quality CBD oil. Lower-quality products may include more stems, stalks, and leaves, which can overall lead to a less effective, consistent and potent product.
Common Questions About CBD Massage Oil
Can CBD Massage Oil get you high?

How do you use CBD Massage Oil?

- Relief from muscle and joint pain
- Reduction of inflammation
- Improved skin health and hydration

Is CBD Massage Oil safe to use?
CBD Massage Oil is generally safe for most people. However, it's always a good idea to check the ingredient list for any potential allergens and do a patch test on a small area of your skin before using it more extensively. If you have sensitive skin or a specific skin condition, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD Massage Oil.
How does CBD Massage Oil interact with the skin?
CBD works with the skin's cannabinoid receptors, part of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, inflammation, and skin health. By applying CBD Massage Oil, you can help alleviate localized issues like soreness, irritation, or dryness.
