Hemp & Health Ointments

Hemp ointments are thick, concentrated topical formulas for direct application on the skin. This collection brings together six selected products for anyone who wants to add a plant-based topical to a daily care routine. Whether you are new to hemp or already compare formats, this range covers the main options.

Hemp ointments: concentrated topical formulas

A hemp ointment differs from lighter skin products in one important way: the base. Ointments use a carrier that is rich in oil or wax and forms a thin film on the skin. This film keeps moisture in and keeps the ingredients on the skin surface for longer. The result is a thicker, richer texture than a lotion or a gel.

The hemp extract in these formulas comes from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. Cannabinoids such as CBD are present together with terpenes, plant waxes and minor hemp compounds, depending on the type of extract. Full-spectrum ointments keep a wider plant profile, while isolate-based formulas contain one single cannabinoid without the rest of the plant compounds.

The ointments in this collection are for external use only. They are not made to be eaten. Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage it in. The hemp extract content is different from product to product, so always read the label before use.

Hemp ointment vs hemp balm: what is the difference

People often use the words ointment and balm for the same thing, but there is a practical difference. A balm usually has a base of beeswax or plant wax together with carrier oils. The wax gives balms their firm-to-soft texture and makes them easy to apply from a tin or a stick. An ointment often uses a petrolatum or lanolin-style base, or a base with a lot of oil and no solid wax. This gives a softer texture that is easier to spread straight from the container.

Both formats can contain a similar amount of hemp extract. The choice is often about texture and the size of the area. Balms stay where you put them, which suits small, defined areas. Ointments spread more easily over larger areas.

If you want to compare other formats, the full Hemp & Health range includes more topical types. For massage gels, balms and oils in one place, the CBD oils and ointments collection offers more options.

Hemp & Health ointments: ingredients and formats

Across this collection, hemp extract is the main ingredient. Other ingredients depend on the product, but often include carrier oils and butters such as coconut oil, shea butter or sunflower oil, plus plant extracts like arnica or calendula, or essential oils for the scent.

The formats in this collection range from screw-top jars to tubes. Tubes are practical when you are on the go and let you dispense an exact amount without touching the product. Jars are easier to use for products with a firm texture and are common for larger sizes.

When you compare hemp ointments, look at the total mg of hemp extract per container and the container size. A 50 ml product with 500 mg and a 100 ml product with 500 mg have a very different content per ml. The product pages list this information clearly.

Use the filters above to compare the range by format and hemp extract content.
