ABOUT OUR PAIN CREAM, FROM THE FOUNDERS
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.

Inflammation is like the Darth Vader of pain and CBD is a little green yoda with the spirit of a cannabis jedi.…
Frequently Asked Questions
Do CBD creams work for muscle pain?
CBD creams may potentially help alleviate muscle pain. Some ways CBD creams might benefit muscle pain include:
- Localized pain relief: When applied topically, CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the skin, which may help reduce pain perception in the targeted area.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: CBD has shown potential anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in sore or overworked muscles.
- Muscle relaxation: CBD may promote muscle relaxation, which could help alleviate tension, stiffness, and spasms that often accompany muscle pain.
- Improved circulation: Some CBD creams may contain additional ingredients like menthol or camphor that create a cooling or warming sensation, which may help improve blood flow to the affected area and support muscle recovery.
However, it’s important to note that research specifically on CBD creams for muscle pain is limited. Most of the evidence comes from preclinical studies or anecdotal reports, and more high-quality human trials are needed. When using CBD creams for muscle pain, it’s essential to choose high-quality products from reputable brands. Look for creams with clearly labeled CBD content, third-party lab testing results, and natural ingredients that suit your skin type.
To use TribeTokes CBD cream for muscle pain, apply a generous amount to the affected area and massage gently until the cream is fully absorbed. Repeat the application as needed, typically 2-3 times per day – this product will work better with regular use as the CBD starts to build in the surrounding tissue over time.
Is CBD good for back pain?
CBD may potentially help alleviate back pain, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects. Some ways CBD might benefit back pain include:
- Pain relief: CBD may help reduce pain perception by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating pain signaling.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Inflammation can contribute to back pain, and CBD has shown potential anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation in the muscles and joints of the back.
- Muscle relaxation: CBD may promote muscle relaxation, which could help alleviate tension and stiffness in the back muscles that often accompany pain.
- Improved sleep: Back pain can interfere with sleep, and CBD has been reported to have sleep-promoting effects, which may indirectly help with pain management.
Remember, CBD is not a cure for back pain but may offer complementary relief for some people when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under medical supervision.
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. The cream actually works better with regular use, because the CBD begins to build up in the surrounding tissues and work better over time.
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.
Should I use CBD cream for joint pain?
Many customers find CBD topicals to be helpful for joint pain in the knees, elbows or hands, because it reduces the inflammation in these problem areas and provides a soothing effect. For short term relief, we recommend using CBD cream on your joints every 4-6 hours until you start to feel better. The effects will acculumulate over time with more regular use.
That said, it is essential to note that no large-scale research has yet supported the use of CBD for joint pain. If you are experiencing severe joint pain that does not subside, speak with your doctor immediately.
