New formula alert, I am always researching what would make pain relief better. Well here ya go. The new ingredient to the CBD magnesium Pain Cream is MSM. Here's some science for you.
I will have this new batch ready to go Friday for the Columbia-Pacific Farmers' Market and Ilwaco Saturday Market
The Power of Synergy
​When you mix these three, they address localized discomfort from three distinct biological angles simultaneously:
​Enhanced Skin Pe*******on (The MSM Secret Weapon)
​The skin is a highly efficient barrier, often making it difficult for large molecules to pe*****te deep enough to reach muscles and joints. MSM acts as a natural pe*******on enhancer. By temporarily modifying the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum (the outermost skin layer), MSM helps the CBD and Magnesium pass through the epidermis more efficiently.

As shown in the absorption diagram, topicals rely on routes like the intercellular space or sweat ducts to pass through the epidermis. MSM essentially clears a smoother path for the magnesium ions and CBD molecules to navigate these tight spaces.
Comprehensive Neuro-Muscular Relief
The Muscle Layer: Topical magnesium targets the physical tension in the muscle fibers by regulating neuromuscular signaling.
The Nerve Layer: CBD works on the endocannabinoid system's local receptors to quiet the "high alert" pain signals being sent from the tight muscle or inflamed joint.
The Tissue Layer: MSM actively works to reduce the cellular oxidative stress and swelling that caused the tightness in the first place.
Rapid Exercise Recovery
For post-workout recovery, this blend targets both immediate and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Magnesium replenishes local cellular requirements to prevent cramping, while MSM reduces the expression of cytokines (proteins that signal inflammation) triggered by microscopic muscle tears.
