CBD oil can be a real ally for your well-being, but choosing the right percentage of CBD can seem complex. But don't worry! Mama is here to help you find the right percentage of CBD for you.


To remember

  • The percentage of CBD oil determines the dose per drop.
  • Always start with a low percentage (5-10%) and gradually increase according to the desired effects.
  • The choice of oil concentration and spectrum depends on your specific needs and the intensity of the desired effects.

The percentage of CBD oil is very important in defining your needs.


The CBD oil percentage is a key element to consider when choosing your product. It indicates the concentration of cannabidiol in the bottle, and lets you know the exact amount of CBD present in each drop.


In other words, this percentage represents the proportion of CBD in relation to the total volume of oil. For example, a 5% oil contains 500 mg of CBD per 10 ml of oil, which means that each drop contains around 2.5 mg of CBD. The higher the percentage, the more concentrated and therefore more potent the oil.


Understanding this notion is essential to adjusting your use according to your specific needs. A more concentrated oil is often used for cutaneous application to specific areas, for rapid pain relief.


Choosing the right percentage therefore helps you optimize your experience with CBD oil, ensuring you use the right dose to enjoy its potential benefits without causing overconsumption.

The most common percentages and their uses


CBD oils come in different concentrations: 5%, 10%, 20% or even higher. Each percentage corresponds to different needs and preferences.


The 5% CBD oil is recommended for first-time use, especially to discover and explore the effects of CBD. Many people start with this concentration for relaxing massages or to soothe certain areas after a long day. The application of a small quantity enables skin tolerance to be assessed without damaging the skin.

The 10% CBD oil is intended for slightly more intensive use, and is suitable for people who have already tested CBD in low doses and want a stronger effect. Ideal for localized applications on targeted areas, it is often used to soothe persistent muscular tension.

The 20%+ dosage is reserved for regular users, as these concentrated oils are applied on a one-off basis to specific areas. The higher concentration allows you to use just a few drops to achieve the desired effect.


How to choose the right concentration of CBD oil?


To make the right choice, it's essential to take into account your experience with CBD and the desired effect. If you're just starting out, it's always advisable to start with a low concentration. The aim is to observe your body's reaction before gradually increasing.


Mama advises you to choose a CBD oil with a low percentage if you're talking about light relief, stress or occasional pain, for use during the day. And choose an oil with a higher percentage, between 20% and 40%, for more chronic and intense pain. This is perfect for use at the end of the day, to help you sleep.


Mama Kana user reviews show that too high a dosage from the outset can be surprising. To avoid this, apply a small amount to a small area and observe the reaction for 24 hours.

If you want to intensify the effect, increase the concentration or frequency of application while keeping an eye on the reaction. Don't hesitate to alternate between different concentrations to better understand what works for you. A logbook can help you note the effects you feel and adjust your applications according to your daily needs. Mama offers a selection of inexpensive CBD oils to suit all budgets.


Common mistakes to avoid when choosing a percentage


Some users believe that the higher the concentration, the better. However, too high a percentage can cause an unpleasant sensation on sensitive skin. Always use a concentration suited to your level of experience.

Also avoid multiplying oils without taking the time to observe the results. Take a gradual approach, and Mama advises you to be patient with a natural product like CBD.

If you're hesitating between two concentrations, always start with the lower one to get a better idea of your needs. Sometimes a moderate percentage, applied regularly, can be more effective than a high concentration used on an ad hoc basis.
