Salve vs Balm: Which Should You Choose?

Updated: Jun 20, 2022



What is the difference between a salve and a balm; and more importantly, which one is right for you? Here are some useful insights that will help you to choose which is best for you.


Difference between salve and balm

The key difference between a balm and a salve, is that balms are thick and waxy in their consistency (like chapstick); whereas salves tend to be a bit softer (slightly firmer than vaseline or petroleum jelly). Both salve and balm are concentrated products. They contain beeswax which is a natural emulsifier and helps skin to lock in moisture, especially when applied after bathing. The difference between Beck’s Farmas salves and balms, is that our balm contains 8 extra grams of beeswax when compared to our salves, and the two products are otherwise identical.

Who should use a salve?

If you have dry skin, you can use Peppermint Salve by Beck’s Farma as an everyday beauty product and home care treatment. It can be used to treat dry skin, chapped lips, and aftershave.


Who should use a balm?

If you are suffering from sore knee or joint pain and psoriasis, Eucalyptus Balm by Beck’s Farma can help alleviate pain and irritation. They can be applied topically on the painful or irritated areas. They are also great for chapped lips.


Why should you use CBD-infused salve and balm?

In comparison to mucous membranes, the skin absorbency is not very strong. That means when applying a topical product, it’s best to select one with a high level of CBD in unison with the right carrier oils and to apply it liberally. CBD is a free radical with anti-inflammatory properties. By stimulating blood flow, CBD helps fight wrinkles, inflammation (bags under eyes) and acne.


Why buy CBD-infused salve and balm?

  • Our products are made from all-natural ingredients that undergo third party testing. The laboratories that conduct these tests have been independently audited and ISO 17025 accredited by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation, to ensure the quality and accuracy of the testing methods and equipment used.

  • Beck’s Farma uses only organic farming methods to grow hemp. At no point are fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides ever used in our field. Before growing hemp, our field was allowed to return to the prairie for a period of three years.
