There’s a lot of debate around CBD use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and while some doctors support internal use of THC-free CBD for things like nausea or sleep, research is still limited. What we can confidently say is that Mamas Medicinals products are used topically and do not enter the bloodstream—which greatly reduces concern compared to internal use.

Our formulas are crafted with gentle, virtually edible ingredients, many of which are traditionally used for sensitive skin and nursing moms. While we believe they are safe and many of our customers have used them during pregnancy and breastfeeding, every body is different. Please consult your healthcare provider before use to make the best choice for you and your baby.

No, our topical CBD won’t make you fail a drug test. Topical CBD stays on the surface of the skin and does not enter the bloodstream in significant amounts. It interacts with local cannabinoid receptors to provide targeted relief without affecting your system the way ingested CBD might.

Mamas Medicinals was created because of our Healing Salve, which I originally made to help soothe my daughter’s eczema. Seeing how well it worked, I became passionate about crafting gentle, botanical skincare that supports the body’s natural healing process.

When it comes to using CBD skincare on children, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare provider first to determine what’s best for your child’s unique needs. Additionally, we suggest performing a patch test before regular use—apply a small amount to an area of skin and wait 24 hours to check for any sensitivities.

Our products are made with organic, non-toxic, and non-comedogenic ingredients, designed for even the most sensitive skin. Because our CBD products are applied topically, they do not enter the bloodstream like ingested CBD. Many parents, including myself, have used them on their children with great results.

Your family’s well-being is our priority, and we are here to provide transparent information so you can feel confident in your choices.

CBD is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that help calm irritated skin, ease dryness and itchiness, and support the healing of acne and scarring.

Acne Relief: CBD helps balance oil production, reduce inflammation, and promote skin repair—making it effective for breakouts and acne scars.

Anti-Aging & Hydration: With its antioxidant, collagen-boosting, and hydrating properties, CBD helps firm skin, smooth fine lines, reduce signs of aging, and provide long-lasting moisture.

Sun Damage Repair: CBD supports skin recovery from UV exposure by promoting cell regeneration, reducing inflammation, and replenishing moisture.

Nano CBD is a water-soluble form of CBD designed for enhanced absorption and effectiveness. In topical applications, it may provide more targeted relief for localized issues such as pain, inflammation, and skin conditions.

Using nanotechnology, CBD particles are broken down into microscopic sizes using sound waves, making them small enough to dissolve in water, hence the name nano CBD. This process significantly increases absorption, with nano CBD boasting a 90% absorption rate compared to just 50% for traditional CBD oil.

When applied topically, nano CBD penetrates the skin’s dermal layers more efficiently, allowing you to feel the effects within 15 minutes rather than nearly an hour. For the best results, always choose a product from a company that conducts regular third-party testing.
