A 2023 Review of Kanibi CBD

Kanibi is fairly new to the CBD marketplace, but it is already making waves across the industry. “Raising the bar on CBD” is more than just a catchy slogan for the two-year-old brand. Its focus on excellence is unparalleled. 

As you will see throughout this review, there are plenty of reasons why Kanibi ranks as one of the best CBD brands on the market. They’ve gone above and beyond with quality assurance, testing, sourcing, and manufacturing without cutting corners. By embracing challenges that some other brands overlook, it’s fair to say Kanibi is a trusted CBD brand that’s here to stay.

Kanibi’s Product Line

Full-Spectrum CBD Oil Tincture

Kanibi full spectrum oil

Kanibi’s Full-Spectrum CBD Oil Tincture is its flagship product and what kicked off its rousing success. It’s sourced from premium organically grown Kentucky hemp and utilizes coconut MCT oil as a carrier. 

While many customers who choose full-spectrum CBD oil are stuck with the earthy, intense flavor of hemp, Kanibi covers all its bases with five fun flavors. Customers can select from peppermint, lemon lime, choco mint, cinnamon, or our personal favorite, skittles. 

The oil comes in a 1-ounce dark glass dropper bottle designed to avoid light degradation and is available in potencies or 750 or 1,500 milligrams of CBD. If you are new to CBD oil, Kanibi recommends that you start with a low amount and gradually increase your dosage until you experience the desired results. 

  • Price: $69–$129 ($.09 cents per milligram)
  • Ingredients: medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil derived from coconuts), natural flavors, hemp-derived CBD extract, natural sweeteners (MCT oil, Stevia).
  • Sizes: 1-ounce glass dropper bottle (30 milliliters)
  • Potencies: 750 milligrams, 1,500 milligrams (total)
  • Flavors or scents: peppermint, lemon lime, choco mint, cinnamon, Skittles
  • Delivery method: sublingual/ingestible

What people are saying:

“Since COVID, my anxiety has gone up 10 fold. Someone suggested Kanibi CBD oil, so I tried it and LOVE it! Since I’ve been using it, I’ve seen a noticeable difference in my anxiety levels. Highly recommend it.” —Heather N.

“I live with severe pain & powerful prescription medication; however, the pain is only partially controlled. The KANIBI 1,500 mg helps to take the edge off effectively! Thanks.” —R JACKSON F.


Isolate CBD Oil Tincture

Kanibi Oil Tincture

For those who would prefer pure CBD oil rather than a full-spectrum tincture, Kanibi’s Isolate CBD Oil Tincture is the perfect alternative.

It’s made with 99%-plus pure CBD isolate and suspended in MCT oil. All of the additional terpenes, plant matter, and cannabinoids are stripped away, including THC.

Customers can select from potencies of 750 or 1,500 milligrams of CBD. The 750-milligram bottle dispenses 25 milligrams of CBD in each dropper, while the 1,500-milligram bottle gives you a more robust 50 milligrams per serving.

The brand recommends that you start low and slowly move your dosage up until you feel the desired effects.

Like the full-spectrum oil, you’ll get some flavor options with the isolate. Choose from cinnamon, skittles, or unflavored. For best absorption, hold it under your tongue for a full minute before swallowing. 

  • Price: $59–$109 ($.07 to $.08 cents per milligram)
  • Ingredients: pure CBD isolate, MCT oil, natural flavors
  • Sizes: 1-ounce glass dropper bottle (30 milliliters)
  • Potencies: 750 milligrams, 1,500 milligrams (total)
  • Flavors or scents: unflavored, cinnamon, Skittles
  • Delivery method: sublingual/ingestible

What people are saying:

“Very happy with my purchase. Definitely helps my neck pain. Great product.” —Dianna S.

“Tastes delicious. Bought this because I wanted zero THC CBD. Thanks.” —Douglas J.


Organi Gummies

Kanibi Gummies

Organi Gummies by Kanibi are made with 100% organic ingredients and high-grade CBD distillate. They are sweetened with cane sugar and get their fruity colors and flavors from real fruit and vegetable juices.

Depending on your needs, you can choose from gummies containing either 10 or 25 milligrams of CBD. Please note that only the 25-milligram Organi Gummies are sugar-coated. No matter which potency you select, the bottles come with 30 gummies. 

CBD gummies are ideal for those who don’t like the taste of tincture, but they are a fun option for anyone who wants to experience the goodness of CBD. As a bonus, the gummy are only 10 calories apiece. The brand calls them “delicious and effective bites of joy!”

We’ve tried a lot of gummies and must admit these are outstanding. A lot of cheaper gummies are sprayed with CBD, but these are infused with the compound. It’s a more expensive process, but it results in a more effective gummy. 

  • Price: $59 ($.13 cents per milligram)
  • Ingredients: organic tapioca syrup, organic cane sugar, water, pectin, natural flavors, organic fruit and vegetable juice (for color), citric acid, sodium citrate, malic acid, organic sunflower oil, organic carnauba wax.
  • Sizes: 30-count bottle
  • Potencies: 300 milligrams, 750 milligrams (total)
  • Flavors or scents: assorted fruit
  • Delivery method: ingestible

What people are saying:

“Really awesome gummies. They are extremely helpful for my anxiety. I would recommend them to anyone!” —Hannah C.

“I received my first bottle in my Christmas stocking this year. I saw an immediate difference in how I felt. I have bought a bottle each month since and am about to reorder.” —William S.


Full-Spectrum CBD Softgels

Kanibi Softgels

For those looking for a convenient and portable way to get their daily CBD dose, Kanibi has the solution with these Full-Spectrum CBD Softgels. They are made with just two ingredients: MCT oil and full-spectrum hemp oil.

Each softgel contains 25 milligrams of CBD, which is a good mid-range dose if you’re going for daily maintenance. They may potentially help with pain, insomnia, inflammation, sleeplessness, and general health and wellness.* 

One of the best things about this product is that it offers all the benefits of CBD oil in an easily digestible pill form. Since they are encapsulated, you won’t encounter any hempy flavors, and they are discreet and easy to take with you on the go.

Throw these in your backpack, gym bag, or purse for a convenient dose of CBD anytime. Since they are premeasured, you won’t have to worry about getting the precise amount or concern yourself with messes or spills, and nobody else will know you are taking CBD. 

  • Price: $59 ($.08 per milligram)
  • Ingredients: MCT oil, full-spectrum hemp oil
  • Sizes: 30-count bottle
  • Potencies: 750 milligrams (total)
  • Flavors or scents: none/unflavored
  • Delivery method: ingestible

What people are saying:

“Kanibi CBD Softgels eliminated the knee stiffness I experienced after horseback riding. This is enabling me to continue riding at age 65!” —Veronica B.

“Easy to digest. No aftertaste. Long lasting. Very effective. Calms mood.” —Alan S.


CBD Sports Heat Cream

Kanibi Sports Cream

Packed with 250 milligrams of full-spectrum hemp extract, this CBD Sports Heat Cream from Kanibi is perfect for soreness, stiffness, and aches and pains.

The inclusion of aloe and shea butter means that it also leaves skin soft and moisturized so it won’t dry you out.

It comes in a convenient pump bottle, and each pump dispenses about 6 to 8 milligrams of CBD. Smaller areas should respond to one pump, but you might need more on larger areas of the body. Simply massage it in and let it do its thing.

You can reapply this as often as you need to, although Kanibi recommends you wait a few minutes to see if you get the full effect with one application (no need to waste it). It’s not greasy and won’t leave an oily coating on your skin.

Although Kanibi calls this cream a CBD Sports Heat Cream, the menthol and eucalyptus also have a cooling effect. The bottle is black to prevent light degradation, but it will last longer if you store it in a cool, dark place. 

  • Price: $49 ($.20 per milligram)
  • ingredients: aqua, methyl salicylate, Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate citrate, Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, menthol, CBD hemp extract, organic Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice
  • Sizes: 1.7-ounce pump bottle
  • Potencies: 250 milligrams (total)
  • Flavors or scents: natural
  • Delivery method: topical

What people are saying:

“My wife is enjoying pain relief from her knee, which is bone on bone. With wrist surgery/broken arm, I’m enjoying some increased flexibility/range of motion!” —Ross Y.

“I have tried at least six or seven other CBD creams and none have worked like this brand. I use it on my back and my knees, and it instantly relieves my pain.” —Ellen W.


CBD Cooling Gel Roll-On

Kanibi Roll On

Kanibi’s Cooling Gel Roll-On is also designed for topical use, but it comes in a convenient roll-on bottle for easy application.

If you struggle to apply topical solutions to any area of your body, you will be pleasantly surprised about how easy this product is to use.

Just apply a layer of the gel with the roll-on and massage it into your skin. It has no oily residue and won’t stain your clothes or leave your hands sticky. Let it dry and wait a few minutes before reapplying to let the product do its job. 

The cooling gel contains a total of 500 milligrams of CBD isolate in each bottle, so every 2 milliliters of gel delivers a potent 11 milligrams of CBD to the skin. Additionally, you’ll get the added benefit of botanicals like arnica, aloe, camphor, ginger root, and more. 

  • Price: $49 ($.10 per milligram)
  • ingredients: water (deionized), isopropyl alcohol, menthol, glycerin, silica (colloidal silicon dioxide nf), cannabinoid, camphor, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Arctium lappa root extract, Arnica montana flower extract, zingiber, officinale (ginger) root extract, tocopheryl acetate, isopropyl myristate, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, carbomer 940, triethanolamine, disodium EDTA, methylparaben, propylparaben, hemp CBD extract

About the Company

Kanibi is an American CBD brand offering a selection of hemp-based products for sale online. Its main selections are all made with full-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD), except for the brand’s CBD Isolate Tincture. Customers can shop a range of options, including precision-made CBD tinctures, CBD creams, CBD softgels, and CBD gummies. They also have bundles of these products for those looking for more than one solution.

Compared to other CBD brands, the cost of Kanibi’s products falls in the mid-range. It’s not the cheapest option, neither is it the most expensive. We believe Kanibi offers fair and affordable pricing considering the quality of the ingredients and the processing methods used.

The brand is headquartered in Utah, but ships from Utah and Tennessee. All of the hemp used to make it high-grade premium CBD is sourced from American farms, and Kanibi only purchases from growers committed to sustainable, organic farming methods. 

The Hemp

The purity of the hemp is vital and Kanibi will not compromise on this point. Plants can absorb compounds from the soil in which they are cultivated, so ensuring that the hemp is grown on clean, uncontaminated land is paramount to a safe and pure CBD product. 

The majority of the brand’s products are crafted using certified organic phytocannabinoid-rich (PCR) hemp. This results in a full-spectrum CBD that contains all of the cannabinoids, terpenes, plant matter, and other beneficial chemicals found in the whole hemp plant.

Full-spectrum CBD is thought to be the most helpful formulation for encouraging the entourage effect—a proposed theory that all of the compounds found in the plant working together are more therapeutic than when used singularly.

Full-spectrum products also contain trace amounts of  tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), as small ratios of this compound can be found in hemp. However, the percentage of THC present in Kanibi’s products is less than 0.3% as mandated by federal law. This means that it is federally legal to purchase and consume Kanibi CBD anywhere in the country, and the negligible amount of THC in the products is not enough to cause impairment or psychoactive effects found in other strains of cannabis.

However, for various reasons, some users prefer CBD products containing no THC whatsoever. To accommodate these customers, the brand has created a CBD isolate tincture made with CBD only.

Kanibi Reputation

Kanibi

Customers are understandably leery of new CBD brands and tend to stick with well-established ones. This presents a significant challenge for companies trying to enter the CBD space.

Kanibi was established in 2019, so it’s a relative newcomer to the vast CBD industry. When you consider the sheer amount of new companies flooding the market every month, it’s no small feat to establish credibility in less than two years. 

Company values are more critical in today’s world than ever before. Kanibi went in with a vital purpose: to “raise the standards of the entire CBD industry with superior-made CBD products.” The brand has been intent on quality over quantity, and its slow and steady approach has worked to overcome distrust and establish integrity.

Kanibi didn’t begin with a massive list of product offerings. Instead, the company started with just two high-end choices— Full-Spectrum CBD Oil and a Topical CBD Sports Cream—before adding other alternatives to its catalog. Because these products are so effective, it was easy to establish brand loyalty.

People tend to stick with things that work, and safe and reliable CBD products that can potentially reduce pain, inflammation, anxiety, and insomnia are in high demand. Kanibi has ticked off all those boxes.

By emphasizing transparency and excellence in product quality, Kanibi has set itself apart as a top-shelf brand on par with other CBD industry-leading companies. Consumers resonate with the company’s values, and the seed-to-shelf consistency of the products has generated brand recognition and loyalty.

Kanibi is well-reviewed and often featured on popular authority sites. Make no mistake: This newfound brand recognition is largely due to the exceptionally high-quality products the brand offers. 

Extraction and Manufacturing Process

Kanibi

There are several ways to extract CBD from the hemp plant, and not all of them are conducive to creating a safe and pure CBD oil. The three most common extraction methods are ethanol, hydrocarbon, and supercritical CO2 extraction.

Hydrocarbon extraction involves the use of volatile solvents like propane or butane to pull the CBD from the plant. The solvent that remains is then removed via heat.

One problem with this method is that it can be perilous. The solvents themselves are volatile and extremely flammable chemicals, and those who work with them risk injury and even death.

It’s also impossible to remove every trace of these solvents from the final product. This means those who regularly consume CBD made through hydrocarbon extraction could ingest them in small quantities over time. There are no long-term studies about the effects of ingesting solvent-extracted CBD daily, but who really wants to take that chance? 

Why do producers use hydrocarbon extraction? The truth is that it is cheap compared to the other methods. 

Ethanol extraction is another commonly used method for making CBD, and many small-batch producers feel it creates a superior product. Although food-grade ethanol is far less expensive than the equipment needed for supercritical CO2 extraction, it’s still relatively costly.

While ethanol extraction is Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS)—a designation used by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—some producers may resort to denatured ethanol, which can contain chemicals and impurities. Again, the long-term effects of consuming CBD products produced with this method are unknown, so unless you are quite sure about the ethanol source, it’s best to avoid products made with it. 

Supercritical CO2 extraction is considered the gold standard in the CBD industry. With this system, temperature and pressure are applied with CO2 as the solvent. Although this method is the most expensive to implement, CO2 extraction results in clean, pure, uncontaminated CBD that is safe for consumption.

With CO2, there is no need for post-processing, and the CBD is ready to be made into your favorite products right away. Another benefit of CO2 extraction is that it kills microbial bacteria, mildew, mites, and mold on the plant.

CO2 extraction is good for the environment, too. Solvents can place an enormous burden on the environment. CO2 extraction has a smaller carbon footprint, exhibiting only a tenth of the environmental impact of other methods. 

What Extraction Method Does Kanibi Use?

As you might have guessed by now, the CBD products you purchase from Kanibi have all been made with cannabidiol that has been extracted from the hemp plant using clean and safe CO2 extraction. 

Additionally, products are formulated to the highest nutraceutical standards in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)–compliant FDA-inspected facility. They are manufactured without chemicals, preservatives, or artificial flavors and colors. 

Transparency

Kanibi

It’s well known that CBD is not yet adequately regulated by the FDA. Thanks to the increased legalization of cannabis, interest in cannabinoids has skyrocketed, and that’s a wonderful thing.

But with tens of thousands of products to choose from, it’s imperative to have some way for customers to know precisely what they are getting when they purchase a CBD lotion, tincture, or capsule. Currently, there is none.

Trusted and reputable CBD brands do exist, but there are just as many fly-by-night companies driven only by the moneymaking potential of CBD.

The lack of industry standards means that it’s easier to get away with offering inferior, subpar, and mislabeled products. In some cases, unregulated products could even be dangerous. For this reason, there is a lot of consumer distrust, and rightly so. After all, nobody would choose to buy something that did not meet a set of recommended standards, especially something ingestible.

Transparency, then, is of the utmost importance. Brands that care about their customers’ health and well-being need to self-regulate instead of relying on a government agency to set the rules. They must put people over profits and develop the highest possible quality control standards, even if it costs more.

They must do everything possible to safeguard the public, and they must do it in a candid and forthcoming way, with nothing concealed. This is how you get and keep customers, which is precisely how Kanibi has become an industry leader. 

With Kanibi, everything is right out in the open. The brand is upfront about its entire process, including the origin of its hemp, growing methods, extraction, manufacturing, and most importantly, third-party laboratory test results. 

Double Lab Testing That Disrupts the CBD Industry

Third-party lab testing is the number one consideration when shopping for a safe and effective CBD product. It entails a company sending its product to an independent laboratory with no affiliation whatsoever to the brand. Batches are tested for various factors, including the number of cannabinoids in the product, the potency, and the presence of any harmful pesticides, chemicals, or unwanted compounds. 

Every reputable CBD brand in the marketplace sends its products out for testing. In fact, if you can’t find a brand’s recent certificates of analysis (COAs) easily on the website or product pages, you should move on and shop elsewhere. It’s that important. 

There are a lot of good things to say about Kanibi. However, nothing stands out like its choice to test all of its products not just once but twice. Double lab testing is at the core of this brand’s standards, and it’s a practice that is virtually unheard of in the CBD industry. It’s costly enough for companies to go through the first set of testing. Implementing a second round of lab testing is pretty unusual, but it demonstrates Kanibi’s commitment to safety and quality. 

You can find full certificates of analysis on a dedicated webpage on the Kanibi site. You will also find two test reports for the current batch on each product page. Kanibi uses Pro-Verde Labs, an Industry-recognized third-party laboratory known for its cutting-edge technology and precision.

What Will You Find on a Lab Test?

CBD (cannabidiol) is just one of more than 100 compounds present in hemp. Testing reveals the exact ratios of these chemicals, so you know exactly how much you’re taking. It also can alert the manufacturer and customer to any contaminants in the mix. Lab results will show:

The Potency:

If the label says a product contains 100 milligrams of CBD, the tests will show it. You should not be paying premium prices for tinctures and topicals that contain less CBD than advertised. 

The THC Content:

If you know anything about cannabis, you’ve heard about THC. It’s the psychoactive compound responsible for the high you feel when smoking or ingesting marijuana.

Small amounts of THC are typically present in full-spectrum products but not in quantities sufficient to cause you to get too high or feel impaired. The upper legal limit for the presence of THC in any CBD product is 0.3%. It is thought that this trace amount of THC works with CBD and the other chemicals in the plant to encourage some of its benefits.

Lab testing is paramount to understanding the exact amounts of cannabinoids present in a CBD product. Without a chemical analysis, there is no way of obtaining this information. This is one of the many reasons Kanibi is such a trusted brand. The brand’s double lab testing means that what is on the label is exactly what is in the bottle.  

Contaminants:

A significant issue with any plant-based product is the presence of contaminants. These unwanted chemicals may include hazardous pesticides and herbicides, microbials like mold or yeast, mycotoxins, or residual solvents left over from extraction. The COAs will list all of these as well. For reference, each should display as non-detectable (ND) on the lab sheets.

Purchasing Process and User Experience

Kanibi

Checkout

Kanibi’s smooth interface and easy-to-navigate website definitely makes finding the products you want a simple process, and when it comes time to make a purchase, the brand offers a seamless and hassle-free checkout experience.

On each product description page, you select the options you want (size, flavor, potency, etc.) and add the product to your cart. 

You will notice that the brand offers both a subscribe-and-save program and a payment-plan program. Let’s look at each of these.

Subscribe and Save

Because so many people reorder Kanibi products month after month, the company implemented a repeat-customer subscription program. Not only is it convenient, but it will save you money as well. 

Have you ever gotten to the last of your favorite health and wellness products only to discover that you’ve forgotten to reorder them? If you depend on something for daily relief, you know how much of an issue that can be. Kanibi’s subscribe-and-save program takes away that frustration by ensuring you get a full, on-time refill each month, so there is no gap in your daily supply.

Plus, the program will save you a cool 10% off each monthly order. While that might not seem like much, you can save hundreds of dollars a year by merely automating your purchase.

Payment Plan

Sometimes, you really need the relief of a CBD product right away, but it’s not in the budget at the moment. Kanibi’s got you covered with ViaBill. It’s a secure payment method that breaks your purchase into four installments, much like a credit card. But the best part is there is no interest or fees, and you can get your product right away. Plus, signing up for the ViaBill payment plan won’t affect your credit. 

Shipping

Kanibi offers free shipping on all domestic orders! Just order your bottle of Kanibi CBD Oil and worry less about the hassle of paying extra.

Orders placed on Sunday–Thursday are shipped on the following business day the order was received. All orders placed Friday–Saturday will ship on the following Monday.

Does Kanibi Ship Internationally?

You can get Kanibi products shipped to most countries, except for those that do not permit CBD imports. See the list on the website for details

Returns

Kanibi offers one of the best policies we have found when it comes to returns. Just email Customer Support at support@kanibi.com. The company has an iron-clad 100% satisfaction guarantee. This is pretty much unheard of in the industry and those brands that do offer refunds usually specify that the product needs to be unopened. Not so with Kanibi!  

If, for any reason, you find yourself unhappy with your purchase, reach out to customer service at support@kanibi.com for instructions on how to return your item. Once the company has received your return in the mail, a refund will be issued to the payment method you used at checkout. 

Discounts

Signing up for the mailing list is one of the best ways to receive periodic discounts and promotions from Kanibi, but beyond that, the brand also offers a discount program for search and rescue personnel, veterans, and military members. You can reach out to support with your proof of eligibility for more details.  

Referral Program

Many people forget to take advantage of a brand’s loyalty referral program, but these campaigns can yield significant savings for something you are doing already. Kanibi offers discounts for referring others to its products, so if you enjoy sharing the love, you can sign up on Kanibi’s referral page.

All you need is your email address for a unique referral code. When someone clicks through your code and makes a purchase, you can earn discounts of up to 30%!

Customer Care

When evaluating the best CBD brands in the industry, we also look at customer service. It’s one thing to say you have excellent customer service, but we find many brands that don’t have adequate ways for customers to contact them with questions or concerns. 

Kanibi offers several points of contact. First, you can submit a support ticket on the contact page, where you can expect a response within one business day. Alternatively, you can also email support directly at support@kanibi.com. The brand maintains lively social media pages on Facebook and Instagram as well.

You can also opt for snail mail and send a letter straight to Kanibi at 44 W Broadway Suite 216, Eugene OR 97401.

Blog

Another great feature of the Kanibi website is the brand’s blog. If you want to learn more about a particular aspect of CBD, this is a great place to look. Posts include information about reading a lab report, making CBD coffee, CBD for dogs, and other informative articles. 

Range of Products

Kanibi products

Kanibi carries a full line of CBD products covering four primary ingestion methods: sublingual, edible, encapsulated, and topical. How do you know which one is right for you?

If you’re new to CBD, ingestion methods can be one of the most confusing aspects surrounding hemp, but it’s actually pretty simple. Let’s break it down here.

Sublingual CBD

Sublingual CBD products include oils, tinctures, and extracts. Sublingual is derived from Latin and literally means “under the tongue.” While you can ingest CBD oil simply by swallowing it or using it in a recipe or beverage, most experts say that taking it sublingually is most effective. 

Why? You have small mucous membranes and tiny capillaries in your mouth that absorb the compounds. This allows the CBD to bypass your liver enzymes and digestive system and go directly into the bloodstream. 

To use CBD oil sublingually, you put the desired amount under your tongue and hold it for 60 to 90 seconds before swallowing. This is also one of the quickest absorption methods, and although some people feel the effects immediately, the average time it takes to work is between 10 and 60 minutes. The effects of sublingual oils tend to last about four hours.

Edible CBD

CBD edibles are part of a broad category that describes foods or snacks made with CBD. The most popular and well-known of the edibles are the CBD gummies, but you can also find the compound in lollipops, hard candy, gum, chocolate, cookies, mints, and other treats.

Kanibi’s Organi Gummies are premium edibles. These delicious little morsels of goodness may take a little longer to work than CBD oil, but if you’re not in a hurry, they are a tasty option for daily maintenance. 

Edibles need to pass through the entire digestive system before CBD can be absorbed into the bloodstream, so it can take around 90 minutes to feel the full effect. On the other hand, CBD edibles typically last the longest and may provide relief for up to six hours. 

Encapsulated CBD

Encapsulated or oral CBD is similar to edibles in that this method of delivery relies on the digestive system to get the full effect. These products are swallowed and take up to 90 minutes to work, but like edibles, they are long lasting and may be effective for up to six hours or more. 

Kanibi’s CBD Full-Spectrum Softgels are an ingestible form of CBD oil. Capsules and tablets are also examples of oral CBD. Since they are premeasured, this form of delivery is very convenient and portable.

Topical CBD

Topical CBD describes any CBD-infused product designed to go on the outside of the body. This could include lotions, salves, balms, creams, soaps, bubble bath, massage oil, skincare, and even hair care products. 

Kanibi offers two effective topical products: Sports Heat Cream and Cooling Gel Roll-On. The purpose of a topical is to provide localized relief for pain, strain, inflammation, and discomfort in joints, muscles, and tendons.*

Topical CBD products work by binding with cannabinoid receptors near the skin’s surface. Since the entire cannabinoid system helps to regulate pain and inflammation, it makes sense that CBD could potentially regulate the nerves and tissue around these receptors. 

Many people—especially those who are looking for fast pain relief— describe the effects of topical CBD products as immediate, and the majority of those who use topicals feel the results within a few minutes. Since topical products are not absorbed into the bloodstream, they are ideal for those who don’t want to ingest CBD.

The Bottom Line
