Why we love it
This pain cream from our CBD Wellness line TribeREVIVE contains cannabinoids, cooling effects and anti-inflammatories – along with nourishing ingredients such as aloe and vitamin E that are great for your skin. CBD may help with setbacks such as back/shoulder pain, strains, bruises, arthritis and carpal tunnel.
CBD applied topically interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in your skin, which may assist with pain relief and inflammation. CBD accumulates in your tissues over time, so more regular use will lead to better results. You can learn more in our blog post CBD For Pain: How It Works
Let’s break it down by ingredient to understand how this cream can help you feel better!
THE COOLING TRIFECTA
Cooling greatly reduces your body’s ability to feel pain in a specific area, so we are going all in with not just one but THREE of nature’s strongest topical analgesics:
- Wintergreen: The active ingredient, methyl salicylate, is closely related to aspirin and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties
- Menthol: Blocks the calcium current along the nerves responsible for detecting temperature, creating a cooling effect perfect for sore, achy muscles
- Peppermint: Analgesic, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory
ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES
Harvard Medical School has a “unifying theory of disease,” suggesting there is mounting evidence that inflammation is a common underlying cause of many ailments and degenerative diseases. Inflammation is also behind many chronic pain problems – and we’re here to knock it out (!) with:
- Arnica: Reduces inflammation, eases muscle pain, and alleviates stiffness. Arnica helps bruises dissipate faster by reducing swelling while stimulating blood vessels.
- Wild Marjoram Oil: Calming and anti-inflammatory
- Jojoba Oil: Strong anti-inflammatory; also calms eczema and rosacea
- Aloe Vera: Contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A and C, and it is highly anti-inflammatory. Aloe can help treat burns, acne and dry skin.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: NOURISH YOUR SKIN!
- Vitamin E: Strengthens the skin barrier, moisturizers, soothes
- Helichrysum Essential Oil: Helps speed up healing of wounds, burns, and rashes, and reduces scarring. Also promotes healthy skin cell growth and regeneration.
- Green + White Tea: Green and white tea have have catechins, which are like free radical hunters (antioxidants)
- Safflower Seed Oil: Moisturizes and balances skin
How to use
Apply generously to area with pain and massage into the surrounding area, as needed. You may want to apply every 30 minutes at first, and need less and less over time. Great to keep at your desk or on your nightstand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CBD help reduce back and muscle pain?
CBD appears to be effective for back and muscle pain. Studies suggest that cannabidiol interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, helping regulate pain levels.
Additionally, CBD oil may alleviate soreness and reduce inflammation, which helps with pain caused by arthritis and injuries. Moreover, CBD shows to have relaxing properties, meaning it can provide more relief.
That said, it is essential to note that no large-scale research has yet supported the use of CBD alone to cure pain. And more research is needed to confirm these effects. If you’re considering using CBD for back or muscle pain, speak with your doctor in advance and see if it’s the right option for you.
How long does it take for CBD to alleviate arthritis pain?
The time it takes for CBD topicals to affect pain varies depending on the individual, the severity of the pain, and the product used.
Generally speaking, most users report feeling relief within 15-30 minutes after applying CBD cream. If you’re a regular CBD user, you can expect to see results within an hour of applying CBD products. And it should peak benefits within 20 minutes. Ultimately, it’s essential to experiment with what works best for you.
For the best result, simply clean and pat dry your body, then gently massage the CBD Relief Cream as needed.
Does applying CBD topicals help rheumatoid arthritis?
It is unclear if taking CBD can help with rheumatoid arthritis. That said, some research suggests that CBD oil may be beneficial for managing the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Studies have shown that CBD potentially helps alleviate rheumatoid arthritis pain and inflammation by acting on immune cells that are effective in the severity of the disease.
The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD may also help slow or stop RA progression, which permanently damages the joints.
Furthermore, some research argues that cannabis has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, which can help address inflammation beyond RA. Thus, taking cannabis infused products could be an effective adjuvant treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.
If you’re considering trying CBD for rheumatoid arthritis, ensure to talk to your doctor first and see if it’s the right option for you.
Can I use CBD cream every day?
Absolutely! Topicals containing CBD can be applied as frequently as needed. CBD is a highly tolerated substance and is safe to be used every day.
CBD cream is non-intoxicating, meaning it won’t make you feel “high” like THC-rich products would. And because CBD cream is applied to the skin, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, where it can offer its benefits.
However, if you have sensitive skin or are prone to skin irritation, it`s recommended to limit your usage of CBD cream and consult with your doctor before usage.
Additionally, ensure to check the ingredient list for products that contain synthetic fragrances or other substances that you may be sensitive to. Always start with a small amount and see how your skin reacts, then you may increase the dosage.
