CBD Oil
What are CBD oils?
CBD oils are liquid extracts made from cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound present in the cannabis plant. They are mainly applied to the skin and may contain vegetable oils, terpenes, or botanicals. They exist in different concentrations and types of spectrum, which allows them to be adapted to needs such as relaxation, daily care or localized relief. Its use is becoming more and more common in personal wellness routines.
Properties of CBD oils
Concentration
You can choose oils with different concentrations, from mild formulas of 3% to more powerful options that exceed 30%, adapting them to your habits or preferences.
Cannabinoids
Some oils combine multiple cannabinoids such as CBG or CBN, others do without THC entirely. This variety allows you to find the profile that best suits what you are looking for.
Facility
Their presentation in drops makes them very easy to use and mix with other formats. It’s a versatile and convenient way to integrate CBD into your daily routine.
Types of CBD oils according to their spectrum
Broad spectrum
It contains all of hemp’s natural compounds, including terpenes and other cannabinoids, plus legal traces of THC. It promotes the entourage effect and provides a more complete action as a whole.
Full spectrum
It keeps several cannabinoids and terpenes present in the plant, but goes through processes that remove the THC. It allows for a cannabinoid-rich experience without exposing the user to this psychoactive component.
CBD isolate
It only includes purified cannabidiol, without any other hemp components. It does not produce an entourage effect, but allows for more specific use, especially if you want to avoid any other cannabinoids.
CBD Oils for Pets
Maionais CBD oils for pets are usually made with broad-spectrum extracts, without THC, to avoid any risk. Each animal responds differently, so it’s important to start with mild concentrations and low doses. Observing their behavior and evolution is key. If in doubt, the most responsible thing to do is to consult a veterinarian who can guide you according to the specific needs of your furry companion.
Which oil concentration to choose?
CBD oils can be found in concentrations ranging from 3% to 30% or more. If this is your first time using CBD oil, it’s best to start with a low concentration, such as 5%. This allows you to calmly observe how your body responds. As you become more familiar with its effects, you can adjust the concentration according to what you need. Each person is different, which is why many experts advise going slowly, with attention and patience.
Frequently asked questions
What is the entourage effect in CBD oils?
Some experts point out that the entourage effect occurs when various hemp compounds, such as cannabinoids and terpenes, act together, enhancing their properties by interacting with each other. This synergy could explain why certain oils with more than one cannabinoid generate more complete responses in the body. It’s not just about adding effects, but how they combine to modulate different functions. Although research is still ongoing, many people prefer full-spectrum or broad-spectrum oils precisely because of this possible combined effect.
Is it legal to buy CBD oil in Spain?
Current legislation in Spain allows the sale of CBD products as long as their THC content is less than 0.2%. Don’t worry: all Maionais products, including our oils, carefully comply with this condition. This means that you can buy them with complete peace of mind. Remember that CBD oils in Spain are authorized for topical use. Please check the laws of your country or region if you are located elsewhere to ensure that you are using our products responsibly.
How do you use CBD oil?
You can apply CBD oil directly to the skin in specific areas such as shoulders, neck, wrists or temples, performing a gentle massage to promote its absorption. Some people integrate it into their daily body care routine to moisturize the skin or accompany moments of tension. You can also use it localized in areas that need specific attention, such as loaded muscles or dry areas.
The amount to apply varies depending on the concentration of the oil and the goal you have. It is advisable to start with a few drops and observe how your skin responds. You can combine it with other cosmetic products or apply it alone, depending on what you are looking for. It is also possible to mix it with other products such as creams or essential oils if you want even more possibilities of use.
In Spain, current legislation exclusively authorizes the topical use of CBD oil. This means that, although there are other uses such as sublingual absorption, it is not allowed and should be used only on the skin.
Can CBD oil be used if I am taking medication?
If you’re under medical treatment or taking medication, it’s recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD oil into your routine, even if it’s topical use. Although its application is external, CBD can interact with certain medications, especially if used in large quantities or very frequently.
Every body is different, and medical guidance can help you make informed and confident decisions. The Maionais team is also available to help you better understand the content of each oil, but is not a substitute for the advice of a healthcare professional.
Does CBD oil have side effects?
CBD itself is considered well-tolerated by most people. In topical use, side effects are uncommon, but may include mild irritation if you have sensitive skin or an allergy to any of the ingredients in the oil.
That’s why it’s advisable to do a small test on a limited area of skin first before using it more widely. If you notice redness, itching, or other unusual reaction, it is best to discontinue use and consult a specialist. Maionais oils are made with natural, lab-verified ingredients, but it’s always important to listen to how your body responds.
