Just like a sponge absorbs water, your skin is full of pores that allow it to absorb CBD.
During topical absorption of CBD, once it enters your epidermis through your pores, it interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors (such as CB1 and CB2) located just below the surface of your skin that are found in the dermis, the inner layer of your skin.
Transdermal absorption permeates deeper, penetrating and crossing the fat cells (reticular layer) at the bottom of the deeper layer of your skin (dermis) which contains blood vessels, glands, hair follicles, and nerves.
This method can be more effective in delivering full effects and may work better for those who want an all-around wellness.
