For some, there are difficulties associated with oral supplements such as swallowing, digestive issues, and taste dislikes. Here at Nutrient Sense, we've been hard at work crafting recipes that offer the strength of an oral supplement without the troublesome issues. With the skin's potential and a bit of science, nature just might have provided a way. Enter: transdermal delivery.

Topical Vs Transdermal Skin DeliveryBoth topical and transdermal CBD products are applied to the skin. Topical products are commonly used by those who are looking for a type of relief at the site of application. On the other hand, transdermal products are sought after by those searching for deeper absorption through the skin and into circulation. The skin's key purpose is to act as a protective shield repelling foreign matter like harmful chemicals and bacteria. However, it’s also capable of absorbing beneficial matter, as the size of a mineral, vitamin, and even a cannabinoid are many times smaller than a cell. That being said, these beneficial bits are not easily absorbed unless they are accompanied by carrier boosters that help with skin permeability.

Nature's Boost For Skin PermeabilityHere at Nutrient Sense, when we began to create lotion recipes, our most fundamental intention was to offer transdermal products with the same efficacy as oral CBD. Not an easy task. So, we sought the help of an amazing Ph.D. biochemist from the Sagescript Institute in Colorado, Dr. Cindy Jones. We initially found that the skin has several cannabinoid receptors that interact with CBD but with a low absorption rate. We then dug deeper into the science for truly natural ingredients that support effective permeability through skin layers and into circulation. We learned that nature certainly has the potential to be quite a powerful tool.

Beyond The CBD PatchThe skin is our body’s largest organ. It covers an average of 21 square feet and contains 11 miles of blood vessels. Amazing! With all this space, there is no need for ingredient restrictions like those commonly found in synthetic CBD patches. Specifically, transdermal lotions are able to include the whole spectrum of CBD and other hemp compounds as well as ingredients that support skin absorption, without stripping away any of the essentials.

A Genuinely Natural RecipeTo be clear, our recipes are uniquely natural. They contain no synthetic chemicals like stearate, benzoate, acetate, etc., or additives of any kind that are not found safely in the earth and water. We promise. Our saying around here is, “If you can’t put it in your mouth, don’t put it on your skin.”
