🔬 How Balms Work With Your Body

When you apply a true botanical balm, like our ZL Pro Topical Balm, it doesn’t just soothe the surface.

It penetrates the skin and activates your endocannabinoid system (ECS)—your body’s built-in system for managing pain, inflammation, and balance. This is how healing is triggered from within, not just masked on the outside.
