CBD Cream – Targeted Topical Care for Skin, Muscles, and Joints

CBD cream is a popular choice for people looking to apply CBD directly to the skin as part of an everyday routine. Unlike ingestible CBD products, CBD cream and other topical products are designed for localised use, allowing them to be applied exactly where they are needed.

At Nordic Oil, our CBD cream range includes a variety of topical formats, from skincare products and nourishing creams to joint and muscle relief creams, intensive skin balms, and convenient roll-ons. Each product is developed using carefully selected ingredients and formulated to suit different needs, skin types, and areas of the body.

What Is CBD Cream Used For?

CBD cream is applied externally and absorbed through the surface of the skin. This makes it suitable for people who prefer a targeted approach, whether for skincare, muscle comfort, or joint care.

Across the range, CBD cream is commonly used for:

• Daily skincare routines, including day creams and serums
• Muscle and joint areas such as knees, shoulders, and hands
• Localised discomfort, stiffness, or tension
• Dry, stressed, or irritation-prone skin
• Easy application to temples, neck, and shoulders using a roll-on format

CBD cream is not intended to cure pain, arthritis, or skin conditions, but many people find topical application a practical way to support everyday comfort and skin care.

How CBD Cream Works on the Skin

When CBD cream is applied, it is absorbed into the outer layers of the skin rather than entering the bloodstream. The skin contains receptors linked to the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in maintaining balance.

Because CBD cream is applied directly to a specific area, many users prefer it for focused application, particularly on joints, muscles, or areas of sensitive skin. This localised use is one of the key differences between CBD cream and CBD oil taken orally.

Our CBD Cream Range at a Glance

CBD Skincare Products

Our skincare-focused CBD creams, such as day creams and serums, are designed to support the skin’s natural barrier and hydration. These products are often used as part of a daily skincare routine and contain CBD alongside nourishing ingredients selected for skin comfort and balance.

CBD Creams for Muscles and Joints

CBD muscle and joint creams are formulated for application to areas such as knees, elbows, shoulders, and other joints or aching muscles. These creams are commonly used after physical activity or during periods of stiffness and discomfort. Some products in this category may also include ingredients like menthol for a cooling sensation.

Intensive Skin Creams for Irritated Skin

Certain CBD balms and creams in the range are developed for very dry or stressed skin. These products are often chosen by people dealing with heavy-duty irritation, including skin that is prone to eczema- or psoriasis-related discomfort. They are formulated to form a protective layer on the skin and are applied to specific affected areas as needed.

CBD Roll-Ons for Temples, Neck, and Shoulders

For targeted and mess-free application, Nordic Oil also offers CBD roll-on products. These are designed for easy use on areas such as the temples, neck, and shoulders and fit naturally into on-the-go routines or moments of rest.

CBD Creams, Balms, Gels, and Roll-Ons – What’s the Difference?

• CBD creams are lighter and easier to spread, making them suitable for larger areas of skin or daily use.
• CBD balms have a thicker consistency and tend to stay on the skin longer, making them popular for specific areas such as joints or dry patches.
• CBD gels are fast-absorbing and often chosen for muscles and joints.
• CBD roll-ons allow precise application without using your hands.

This variety makes it easier to choose the right product based on texture, area of application, and personal preference.

Ingredients, Formulation, and Quality

Our CBD creams and topical products are formulated using hemp extract derived from hemp plants and combined with carefully selected natural ingredients. Depending on the product, formulations may include CBD oil, sunflower oil, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), essential oils, and other skin-friendly components.

All products are developed with skin compatibility in mind and are designed to be gently massaged into the skin until absorbed.

How to Use CBD Cream

• Clean and dry the area
• Apply a small amount of cream, balm, or gel
• Gently massage into the specific area
• Allow the product to absorb fully

Roll-ons can be applied directly to the temples, neck, or shoulders without additional handling.

Safety, Side Effects, and Responsible Use

CBD cream is generally considered safe for topical use and is applied in small amounts. Because it is not ingested, it does not involve the digestive system.

In rare cases, mild irritation may occur, especially on sensitive skin. A patch test is recommended before first use. People with existing skin conditions or those taking medication should consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

Choosing the Right CBD Cream for You

• Whether the focus is skincare, muscle and joint comfort, or irritated skin
• The specific area of application
• Preferred texture and strength
• Skin type and sensitivity

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a treatment for joint pain look like?

Treatment for joint pain depends on the underlying cause and individual circumstances. A doctor or specialist may recommend approaches such as physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, medication, or other targeted treatments.

Some people also choose to use topical products, such as joint creams or muscle creams, as part of a broader routine. When used responsibly, CBD cream may play a supportive role alongside doctor-approved treatment, but it should not replace medical advice, prescribed medication, or recommended therapies.

Is CBD cream suitable for pain relief?

CBD cream is often described as pain relieving in everyday language, but it is important to understand the distinction. CBD creams sold by Nordic Oil are not medicines and are not intended to treat, cure, or prevent pain, arthritis pain, or joint conditions.

Instead, CBD cream is a topical product designed for external use, applied to specific areas such as joints or muscles.

Can CBD cream be used for arthritis or arthritis pain?

Arthritis is a medical condition that should always be managed with professional guidance. The NHS does not recommend CBD products as a treatment for arthritis or arthritis pain.

Some people living with arthritis choose to use CBD creams or CBD balms as part of their wider self-care routine, in addition to treatments approved by their GP or specialist.

Can CBD cream be applied to knees and other joints?

CBD cream is designed for topical use and can be applied to external areas such as knees, elbows, shoulders, hands, or other joints. It should be gently massaged into clean, dry skin and allowed to absorb fully.

Should I speak to a doctor before using CBD cream?

If you have a diagnosed medical condition, are experiencing ongoing joint pain, arthritis, or are taking medication, it is always advisable to speak with a GP or healthcare professional before introducing new products.

Can CBD cream replace medication or surgery?

No. CBD cream should not be used as a replacement for medication, medical treatment, or surgery. It is a cosmetic or topical product intended for external use only.
