Weird CBD Products UK – Are They Worth It?
The surge in popularity for CBD products uk has
triggered businesses to include the compound in a wide array of weird and
wonderful forms. And why not? “Variety is the spice of life” as they say… In
reality, it can be confusing, and even misleading for customers who don’t fully
understand what makes an effective and reliable CBD product.
Are
these products good for your wellbeing? Or exploiting a trend? Read on to find
out!
Questionable CBD Products
There
are some products that have come to market that certainly do raise an eyebrow.
Now, we are not saying these are completely useless, but they are certainly not
things that we would pay for. Check these out:
1) CBD-Infused Pillow
We
all love a good night’s sleep, but plastering a pillow in CBD is to put it
politely: laughable.
It
is possible for CBD to be absorbed through the skin, if done properly it can
actually be surprisingly effective. But it takes a bit more ingenuity than a
CBD-Infused Pillow.
The
product we have seen doesn’t mention how much CBD the pillow has, but rest
assured, what it does have will not do anything for your wellbeing.
Furthermore,
when exposed to light and heat, cannabinoids can degrade. So unless this pillow
is kept in dark protective case, which it isn’t, much of the cannabinoids may
have degraded by the time it reaches you.
Keep
your standard pillow, and have a few drops of high quality cbd
oil instead.
2) CBD Toothpicks
Believe
it or not, CBD does seem to have some benefits for dental health. Preliminary
studies have indicated that CBD can eliminate certain bacteria in the mouth
that lead to tooth decay.
However,
toothpicks are unlikely to be the way forward. Unless, of course, if you want
to leave the toothpicks stuck in between your teeth for prolonged periods of
time.
A
surface area small enough to fit between the gaps of your teeth is unlikely to
have much CBD. Combined with the fact that the toothpick will only touch the
gums for a few seconds means that they probably will not provide any relief.
But
hey, CBD is an amazing compound, so they are probably much better than standard
toothpicks. But why not use a normal toothpick, then apply a couple of drops of
oil afterwards? It will be much more effective in terms of cost and relief.
3) CBD Hand Sanitisers
During
the Covid-19 pandemic, many UK CBD companies pivoted their operations to help
fight the virus. Some used their manufacturing capabilities to produce hand
sanitisers, others offered heavily discounted products to help look after the
wellbeing of their customers.
The
majority of such companies had good intentions and were genuinely trying to
help. However, unfortunately, some companies showed their true colours of
caring more about money than people.
According
to the world health organisation,
hand sanitisers with at least 60% alcohol prove very effective in eliminating
the virus. But does adding CBD make them any more effective? We don’t know.
We
even noticed one company selling ‘antibacterial hand sanitisers’ with CBD, but
no alcohol. This was likely to do very little and is actually dangerous,
leading people to believe their hands are Covid-Free after using the product.
Some
companies included hemp seed oil for its moisturising properties. This makes
sense.
But
charging a premium price for a CBD hand sanitizer that contains tiny amounts of
CBD and may not be any more effective is unethical. Especially when people are
in a state of panic.
As
with the toothpick, it may provide some minute added benefits for the intended
purpose. But it’s not worth the money in our humble opinion.
There
are many more products available that we would not recommend. But you get the
picture…
Best CBD Products UK
Here
at BROWN’S CBD, we only offer
products that can genuinely improve your wellbeing. We are not one of the ‘CBD
warehouse’ companies that offer every product under the sun.
That’s
why we have a relatively small product range. But the products we do offer have
been expertly produced with the specific intention of improving people’s lives.
Before
adding any new product to the range, it must be:
- Full Spectrum
- Remain close to the plant
- Ethically sourced
- 100% natural
- Good value for money
- Highly effective
If
a new product ticks all of these boxes, we will consider it. But in many cases,
the products we offer are all most people will need.
