In the 1760s, George Washington grew hemp on his farm and predicted that it would become a more profitable crop than tobacco. At that time, hemp grew abundantly in Virginia and other areas in the US.
“We spent a considerable amount of time researching what was currently available for topical CBD products and found that most of them were under-performing,” says Mr. Pelavin, “They were mostly creams and balms that delivered CBD in an oil-based formula. But skin experts know that oils don’t penetrate the skin well and so they weren’t very effective. I think manufacturers of these CBD creams know about this and infuse their products with menthol to improve effectiveness. But the result is that consumers are really just getting another Icy Hot or Ben Gay, for 8 times the price.”
Inspired by the opportunity to create a better topical CBD, Pelavin spent many late nights testing new formulations that combine his company’s award-winning topical magnesium with a newly emerging category of nano-sized, ultra small CBD extracted from the hemp plant.
“After months of trial and error, we finally hit upon a formula that was superior to anything available on the market. It was challenging because the CBD used in the product had to be of the highest quality, and be certified THC and pesticide free,” says Pelavin. “The result is a one-of-a-kind topical CBD encased within water molecules, not oils, that penetrates the skin better to deliver unprecedented levels of bioactive CBD and effectiveness. The fact that it imparts all of the outstanding benefits of skin-absorbed magnesium is equally as exciting.”
This new formulation doesn’t contain menthol or camphor, but instead delivers a highly pure form of CBD that instantly vanishes through the skin without the strong smell. This enables consumers to use the formula for a wide variety of purposes people use topical CBD for today.
The formula created by Mr. Pelavin to help his father is now available to the general public and is packaged as Dr. Zogg’s Amazing CBD, which can be found in a variety of outlets across the US, including healthcare professionals, pharmacies, convenience stores, general merchandisers, and others.
