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.

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.
