CBD topicals, such as bath bombs, can be effective, Paldneck says.* However, there is no FDA regulation—so consumers need to choose wisely.
To ensure you’re getting a quality, trustworthy product, Paldneck recommends selecting CBD bath bombs with no chemical dyes, minimal additives, and a readily-available certificate of analysis (COA). A COA verifies that the CBD content is accurate, and may also check for other contaminants, such as pesticides, mycotoxins, or heavy metals.
Paldneck suggests choosing full-spectrum bath bombs, since they contain trace amounts of THC. “By having even a small amount of THC, we get many more benefits from the plant-entourage effect,” she elaborates.*
