Since the CBD industry started companies have tried to add to many topical products, from body lotions, to skin care products. It's a lot of marketing but it's also because of  a (seemingly) endless list of medical benefits attributed to cannabidiol. One of the newest product launched by Savage CBD is CBD sunscreen so we decided to give it a try !

CBD is mainly known to relieve pain and reduce anxiety. One of its hidden aptitudes, however, is to protect your skin from the sun’s damage. 

CBD compounds contain essential  amino acids, and simple and fatty acids. which interact with your skin receptors to stimulate your endocannabinoid system. Much like any other skin care products CBD applied to the body nourishes and hydrates the skin. In other words, CBD Sunscreen helps moderate the skin’s response to continual exposure to sunlight by regulating the renewal of skin cells. It also helps by creating a layer of natural SPF on the surface of your skin which acts as a extra protection layer.

Scientists haven’t yet been able to measure precisely how efficient this layer of protection is so relying on it alone is not wise and could lead to undesired sun injury. However, combining CBD and sunscreen is a great way to obtain a robust sort of super-SPF sunscreen that offers an added layer of protection against the sun.

Don’t forget that sunscreen will help protect you from burning but also from ageing and potential nasty cancers caused by the effects of repeated sun exposure. If you want your skin to looks great for years to come, it is recommended to use only water resistant SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen and to replace it every 2 hours or after swimming. A 2003 research found that CBD may be a potential treatment to fight against melanoma (skin cancer).

Using a sunscreen with cannabidiol compounds can further protect your skin due to antioxidant properties. It will be a big boost in protecting against the development of ageing skin, wrinkles as well as skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.

Finally, using CBD sunscreen will also help reduce acne thanks to its ability to control the production of sebum, which is the primary source for breakouts.

Sunscreens absorb or reflect some of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation and help protect against sunburns, skin ageing, cancers and more. Should you decided to buy a CBD sunscreen the main question you should ask is: is this a full spectrum CBD sunscreen?

Why? well because the CBD industry is still quite young and unregulated, brands can be vague about how they manufacture their products and what's inside. However, if you are about to buy a CBD sunscreen, you probably want to buy quality cream which will be efficient for your skin. Well scientific studies have demonstrated that full spectrum CBD is then the best solution for a Sunscreen.

Let's take a step back: the two most common types of CBD today are CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD. CBD isolate is almost 100% pure CBD which means that during its extraction process, almost everything which is not CBD has been removed, including THC but also all the 'good stuff' some of which may have benefits for your health. Now full spectrum CBD, on the other hand, contains the good stuff too including cannabidiol but also hundreds of other cannabinoids, terpenes, and fatty acids which have therapeutic value of their own for the skin.

As a consequence, a CBD Sunscreen will be more effective if it is a Full Spectrum CBD Sunscreen

Savage CBD Sunscreen is a full spectrum product. It says so on its label and the product was tested in a third-party laboratory so we think it's a good product to buy should you want to try a quality CBD sunscreen.

Savage CBD Sunscreen was lab tested on June 19th, 2019 by SC Laboratories in Santa Cruz, California. The results are available to anyone, just click on the below link to read it.

Savage CBD Suncreen comes in a 60ml bottle which contains 100mg of CBD. It’s SPF 30 and it is waterproof. The bottle as the perfect travel size, and the product itself is just sunscreen, there is no added parfum and it's white in color. 

According to the Lab results, the bottle actually contains 109.8 mg of CBD so there is more CBD than what's on the label. The difference is quite significant but hey better more than not enough.

As mentioned in the previous section of this review, this is a full spectrum CBD sunscreen. It's GMO Free and pesticides free. The product has undetectable amount of THC so you will not feel “high” if you are using Savage CBD sunscreen.

To be honest we have not seen this type of product in many CBD stores. Savage CBD might well be one of first to sell a CBD sunscreen. This is a sign that this market is expanding rapidly into new areas and that more creative CBD products will be soon be available! Is CBD sunscreen a marketing product? Certainly but there are also medical benefits to a Full spectrum CBD Sunscreen.

The Cream itself was gentle enough and we liked the fact that it had no strong flavor. It would have been nice to have more SPF options but at least we got sufficient protection with SPF 30. We also liked that this sunscreen is waterproof  and we thought the size of the bottle was perfect to use it everyday and carry it with you everywhere. 

Overall we were very pleased with the sunscreen. The shipping however was disappointing: it took a week for our products to arrive by mail which is a bit long.

Shipping is probably something Savage CBD's could improve. Although they offer Free shipping to all orders in the USA via USPS, we were quite disappointed by the time it took to process the order and get it delivered. Our product reached our mailbox more than one week after we placed the order. This is too long and it's longer than other options proposed by other CBD stores.

So how long does it take to process and ship an order? According to Savage CBD, it takes between 5 and 7 business days (not including weekends or holidays) just to process the order. Then the order is shipped via USPS which will take another 2-5 business days depending on how busy they are. So in total we are talking 7 - 12 business days!

Savage CBD is not liable for any delays once the products are in USPS hands so in case you have any issue you should get in touch with USPS directly. 

We found many customers happy with the delivery time and most people probably receive their products within a reasonable timeframe but we had to wait more than a week and that was not ideal. We also found quite a few people complaining about the delivery time like this customer:

Even though Savage CBD is a rather new player in the CBD industry, the firm has invested some time to build a quality image. They have also done tremendous efforts to improve customer services and definitely deserves an applause for that.

To be honest, we did not have any issue with the products we ordered, nevertheless we decided to call their customer service and to ask them a few questions. We spoke to top notch professionals who knew everything about Savage CBD products. 

That being said, we think Savage CBD should do something about their refund and cancellation policy. Basically, they don't do returns and once your order has been placed, it's impossible to get it cancelled. This is not really what we would call "customer friendly". Additionally, given the rapid expansion of the CBD market, we think that companies treating their customer better than others will end up getting a bigger market share, so we would strongly advise Savage CBD to work on this.

On another matter, we found issues with abusive text messaging from service providers. A few customers were clearly getting sick and tired of opting out so Savage CBD might want to choose carefully their service providers and have strict policies with regards to the use of their customers' contact information.

We have listed below some of Savage CBD customer policies:
