CBD patches
You stick CBD patches on your skin, where they release CBD gradually, spread over the day. Unlike oil, you do not have to measure anything and you taste nothing: the amount per patch is fixed. At Dutch Balance you will find two variants from Dutch Hemp, both with CBD isolate, with 16 or 50 mg CBD per patch. Every batch is tested and the results are available on request. Below you can read what a CBD patch is exactly, how it differs from oil, where to stick it best and what we can and cannot say about it.

What are CBD patches?
You stick CBD patches on your skin, just like an ordinary plaster, but they are not meant to dress a wound. They release CBD gradually through the skin over the course of the day. In principle they resemble nicotine patches, only they contain cannabidiol instead of nicotine. CBD is not psychoactive, unlike THC.CBD oil or CBD patches: what is the difference?
The difference is mainly practical. With oil you decide how much you take: you use drops, you taste the oil, and you have to remember it. A patch you apply once and you are done. The amount of CBD per patch is fixed and you taste nothing. If you want to be able to adjust the amount yourself, CBD oil suits you better. If you do not want to measure or taste anything, a patch is easier. Whether one works differently for you than the other is not something we make statements about.Which CBD patch suits you?
We carry two variants, both from Dutch Hemp. Both work with CBD isolate: CBD only, without other plant compounds and without THC. The difference is in the amount and the size.- 16 mg per patch. The smaller size, 38 by 38 millimetres.
- 50 mg per patch. A higher dose and slightly larger, 50 by 64 millimetres.
Is there a trial pack?
We do not carry a separate trial pack. If you want to try patches first, start with the 16 mg patches. That is the smallest size with the lowest amount of CBD, in a pouch of 30.Experiences with CBD patches
On the product pages you can read reviews from customers who use the patches. Those are personal experiences. What one person notices does not have to apply to someone else, and we do not use reviews to promise an effect. What we can say is on this page: what is in it, how much, and how you use the patch.Where do you stick it?
Choose a spot that is not too greasy and not too hairy, because the patch adheres less well there. The inside of your upper arm works well. Chest, shoulder or side is possible too. Replace the patch according to the instructions on the packaging.Frequently asked questions about CBD patches
What do CBD patches do?
We may not make any statements about that. No health claims have been approved for CBD in the European Union. Online you will find plenty of suppliers telling you that a CBD patch helps against pain, stress or poor sleep. Those are overstepping the mark, and that says more about the seller than about the product. We tell you what a patch is, how much CBD is in it and how you use it. What you do with it is up to you.
What is the difference between CBD oil and a CBD patch?
With oil you set the amount yourself and you taste the oil. With a patch the amount is fixed, you taste nothing and it releases gradually over the day. Online you come across confident figures about how much better absorption through the skin would be. We do not repeat those, because there is no good basis for them. The difference is practical, not a promise.
How much CBD is in a patch?
16 or 50 mg, depending on the variant. That is stated on the packaging and on the product page. Unlike with oil, where you set the dose, the amount per patch is fixed.
How long do you leave a CBD patch on?
That is stated on the packaging, and you follow those instructions. The patch releases the CBD gradually, spread over the day. When or what you notice of it is not something we make statements about.
Is there a trial pack of CBD patches?
No, we do not carry a separate trial pack. If you want to try them first, start with the 16 mg patches: the smallest size, in a pouch of 30.
Does a CBD patch get you high?
No. CBD is not psychoactive, and our patches are made with CBD isolate, without THC.
Can you keep a patch on in the shower?
That differs per product; check the packaging. In any case, apply it to dry, clean skin, because it adheres less well to greasy or wet skin.
Who is better off not using them?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use them. If you take medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist first. If you have sensitive skin, bear in mind that the patch can cause local irritation. Also read CBD and medicines.
