CBD Oil. Medium Strength,
Natural Flavour
by fourfive cbd.
I’ve been using tinctures, or drops, on and
off over the last few months and I have found
a couple of products which work. I think
I’m at the stage where I need something
around the 1,000mg concentration for it to
have any noticeable effect, especially if
I’m adding a few drops to a herbal tea
or cup of coffee. I also love coconut oil
products, whether it’s an ingredient in
something I’m taking, in a hair mask or
to cook with.
So, this was refreshing to try, plus it comes
from professional rugby players Dominic
Day and George Kruis who have made
CBD part of their everyday lifestyle. The
fourfive cbd team have ensured their drops
are as natural as possible, with no hemp
smell wafting from the bottle. The drops
also come in a pack with both a dropper
and a spray top. I’m torn between both
as I love the idea of a dropper, but a
spray is just more practical. Whichever
you prefer, not all brands give you the
option to choose, so that was a big plus
for me. If you’re looking for CBD oil drops
which won’t leave a bitter aftertaste and
have an emphasis on the natural side of
things, give this a go. Also available in
500mg.

my complexion a dewy glow that usually
I’d need three products to give the illusion
of. It’s barely there but still noticeable,
which is what I want.
I’ve also tried the balm in my hair, because
why not? I’m guilty of buying pricey hair
serums in fancy jars, purely because they
look nice in my bathroom. I swapped my
latest buy out for the balm after washing
my hair one evening and left my hair to dry
naturally after this. The balm put a healthy
shine on my waves and really hydrated any
dry ends. Given that it contains coconut
oil and shea butter, it also made my hair
super soft.
Did I mention I’m also using it as a lip
balm? I’ve been applying little amounts
to my lips with my staple lip pencil and it
works wonders. Glossy and moisturising,
especially in the season of chapped lips.
So there you have it. A moisturiser, hair
serum and lip balm all in one. I’ll probably
find more uses for this in the weeks to
come. If, like me, you hate lugging around
a bag of products, this might just be the
one pot wonder we’ve all been missing
until now.
If you’ve ever looked through the review
section of any Vapouround magazine, I
guarantee you will not find anything with
my name next to it. So, it’s safe to say I keep
my review hat in its box for occasions.
There’s been a lot of love for this product
in particular on socials. I’m usually sceptical
of such hype, but I’m happy to say this
one is for real. The short ingredients list
includes coconut oil, shea butter, cacao,
rosemary, and vanilla plus the CBD extract.
I used it daily over a week, starting small,
and by the time it came to writing this
review, this little pot of 300mg CBD Balm
had made itself at home in my handbag,
car and office. (A higher strength of 800mg
is also available.)
The first time I tried this I went straight in,
head first (literally), and applied the balm
to my face and neck as part of my weekly
DIY facial. After exfoliating, applying
a facemask and then a serum, I mixed
a healthy sized amount of balm with my
night cream and spread it gently upwards
starting at the base of the neck. It may
appear to be a firm wax at first glance,
but once you hold the balm in your hand
it quickly melts down and smells natural.
It’s subtly fragranced, compared to some
other balm products out there which was
also a big plus for me.
The following morning, I absolutely noticed
a difference, and I can say it was 100 percent
the effects of the balm because the rest
of my routine hasn’t changed in months.
I don’t wear a lot of make-up during the
day, so I’ve been mixing it with my tinted
moisturiser in the mornings. I find it gives
