Where to find Hemp Cream
Hemp creams can be a bit hard to find and will be a little bit expensive. Unlike marijuana, hemp is not as common, so the cream manufactured from the same is a bit rare, but of very high quality. Currently, the best hemp grade is planted in the United States of America (USA). Also, the many vendors selling CBD creams both online and offline make it difficult to find quality hemp creams since there are a lot of them selling fake creams. You need to be very keen when looking for this cream for this reason. Here are some of the best ways you can use to find quality, genuine and affordable hemp cream.
Buy Online
You can find good hemp cream online. Keep in mind that there are numerous vendors, so you have to be extra careful when doing your shopping. A good way is to read a lot of reviews and testimonials before settling on any vendor. Make an effort to reach out to those that have used particular creams before and request information on their experiences. If you manage to narrow down to genuine individuals with personal stories who are willing to share, then you will not only manage to find good hemp cream but also vendors that are willing to sell at an affordable price point.
Consider the Source of the Cream
Hemp and marijuana are more or less the same plants, but with minor differences. Marijuana has more resin present as compared to that in the hemp plant. Manufacturers hence need a larger quantity of the hemp plant to extract CBD making it a bit expensive. Besides, most industrial hemp is planted in the U.S with strict conditions regulating the use of pesticides. You will be safer buying hemp cream that is manufactured in the U.S since you will be sure of its natural state and lack of industrial chemicals. Also, CBD extracted from marijuana is likely to have high traces of THC that are responsible for the psychoactive effects. You would be better placed avoiding such. Hemp cream is purely from hemp seeds from hemp plants.
Mode of Extraction
Before buying any hemp cream, check the mode of hemp extraction. Manufacturers extract hemp using a process such as full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and using isolates among other methods. Some methods are not only more efficient but are also safer especially when manufacturing the final product. The best method is one that maintains a high level of hemp purity and does not add chemical contaminants into the final products. Hemp creams whose concentrates were extracted using carbon dioxide extraction contain no chemicals and are purer as compared to other methods. Ensure to ask and confirm the mode of extraction to get the best hemp oil.
Third-Party Regulation
There are no government regulations yet governing the manufacture and selling of hemp and marijuana products. You may want to rely on independent third-party regulators that have tried and tested the hemp oil that you wish to buy. If a hemp cream product has a label showing these independent regulators, it is most likely a good product, but will come at a higher price. Even then, you should make a point of contacting the said regulator for more information before committing yourself.
Check the Ingredients
You need to carefully check all the ingredients contained in the product you intend to buy. If you are not conversant with the chemical or scientific terms, consult your physician for guidance. Some cheap products claim to be hemp creams but have questionable ingredients. Avoid the temptation of simply going with the label when buying these creams.
Finding a hemp cream is not as easy considering its rarity, but is not also impossible. With the right information, you will know where and what to look for. All you need is patience when shopping for these products.
