Sport Edition — CBD Muscle Relief Gel
Training, running, lifting, a long active day — a strained muscle doesn't choose
Why a cooling gel?
“Your skin doesn't believe words — only what you actually apply to it.”
CBD Relaxing Gel Sport Edition is not just another “miracle product” on the shelf. It is a well-documented combination of actives: pure CBD and menthol, embedded in a cooling gel base — for muscle fatigue after sport, around worked muscles and joints, or simply on tense areas of the body after a long, active day.
It is not a medicine, and it is not intended to be one — as a cosmetic product, it works on the surface of the skin. But what we know today about CBD applied to the skin and the cooling mechanism of menthol is worth stating precisely, backed up by sources.
The two mechanisms of action
What the formula is built on
Pure CBD (Cannabidiol) — Main active ingredient. Non-psychoactive and THC-free; one of the most researched soothing active ingredients in modern skincare.
Menthol (TRPM8) — Cooling active ingredient. It selectively activates the TRPM8 cold receptor on the sensory nerves of the skin — providing a genuine cooling sensation with a counter-irritant effect.
Mentha Arvensis oil (1–5%) — Natural mint oil. A source of menthol present in the form of an essential oil — it complements and softens the effect of purified menthol and gives a fresh scent.
Glycerin (1–5%) — Humectant. It draws moisture from the air to the skin's surface, so the skin stays supple even with the cooling gel base.
“Two ingredients, one experience: CBD soothes the skin, while menthol provides a refreshing, cooling sensation.”
The cooling and counter-irritant effect of menthol via the TRPM8 receptor is a mechanism supported by decades of literature, which athletes and massage therapists have long used to refresh the area around strained muscles and joints. Research on CBD applied to the skin is ongoing.
The studies referred to describe the mechanism and early results of the active ingredients; they are not clinical studies carried out with the finished product.
What makes the CBD in this gel special?
CBD is not a decorative item on the list — it is one of the most carefully dosed ingredients in this gel. Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive, THC-free phytocannabinoid, increasingly used in the modern cosmetics industry as a soothing active ingredient, in harmony with the cooling effect of menthol.
What makes it truly premium: we disclose not only its presence, but also its proportion — independently tested, batch by batch.

When and how to use it
- After training, running, lifting or a long, active day, apply a thin layer to the strained area of the body, on clean, intact skin.
- Massage in gently with circular movements until absorbed — this is when the cooling sensation begins to unfold.
- Due to its menthol content, avoid the area around the eyes, mucous membranes and damaged, irritated skin.
- Close tightly after use — the product comes in a tinted, UV-protective glass jar, which itself protects against light-induced degradation; just store it at room temperature.
For external use on adult skin only. Do not apply around the eyes or mucous membranes, or on damaged, irritated skin. Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Due to its menthol content, carry out a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin.
