Earthly Body CBD Daily Soothing Serum 20ml review

What's in it

This serum contains 60mg of ultra-concentrated hemp-derived CBD, combined with a base of natural oils including soybean, apricot kernel, avocado, jojoba and coconut oil. The formula also features essential oils of eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, basil and pine, plus menthol. The product is vegan and cruelty-free, and complies with UK Cosmetic Product Regulations (registration number 29333973).

The inclusion of tocopherol (vitamin E) adds antioxidant properties typical of skincare serums. The combination of oils suggests a lightweight texture intended to absorb quickly into skin, rather than leaving a heavy residue.

Design and format

Packaged in a convenient 20ml travel size, this serum is designed for portability. The small bottle makes it easy to carry in a bag or include in a travel kit without taking up much space. No batteries or power source is required—you simply apply it directly to skin.

How to use it

As a serum, this product is meant to be applied topically to the skin. The supplier notes it absorbs quickly, suggesting you can apply it directly without waiting for a long absorption time. Because it contains menthol and essential oils with warming or cooling properties, you may notice a subtle sensory effect on application. A small amount should go a long way given the concentrated formula, making the 20ml bottle reasonably long-lasting depending on frequency of use.

Cleaning and storage

Like most liquid serums, this should be stored in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the botanical oils and CBD content. Keep the cap closed when not in use. If you use it on skin, wash your hands after application unless applying to hands intentionally. Check the product packaging for any specific storage guidance.

Buy it if

You're interested in CBD skincare products and prefer compact, travel-sized formats. You like natural, plant-based ingredients and are drawn to essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus and lavender. You want a vegan option that aligns with cruelty-free purchasing. You're looking for a serum that absorbs quickly rather than leaving an oily feel on skin.

Skip it if

You're sensitive to essential oils or menthol, which can cause irritation in some people. You prefer fragrance-free or minimal-scent skincare. You have very oily skin and find oil-based serums unsuitable. You're new to CBD products and want to start with a larger size to test compatibility before committing to a smaller bottle.

The bottom line

The Earthly Body CBD Daily Soothing Serum is a straightforward, portable option for those interested in CBD-infused skincare. The 20ml size keeps it affordable and travel-friendly, while the blend of botanical oils and essential oils is familiar and accessible. As with any new skincare product, it's worth patch-testing first, particularly given the presence of essential oils and menthol. If you already use CBD products and appreciate natural formulations, this serum offers good portability and a concentrated dose per application.

Frequently asked questions

Does this serum contain THC?

The product uses hemp-derived CBD. UK regulations require hemp-derived products to be THC-free, and this serum complies with UK Cosmetic Product Regulations, so it should contain no THC.

Is the serum suitable for all skin types?

How long does a 20ml bottle last?

This depends on how much you apply per use. Because it's a concentrated serum, a little typically goes a long way, but the exact duration varies by individual usage.

Can I use this on my face?

The product is a skincare serum, so facial application is likely intended, though you should patch-test first. Avoid the eye area due to the essential oils present.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, the product is labelled as 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
