R270,00R990,00 incl VAT

A Botanical Hug. [Tummy and Lower Back Period Cream].
A CBD, St John’s Wort and Ginger functional cream; soothing like a hug.

Soothe period cramps with a ritual of blissfulness. This cream is specifically formulated for period cramps combining organic hemp extract (CBD422 from Switzerland) with ginger, monk’s pepper and frankincense.

A functional CBD cream to help with menstrual pain. This Place is courageous in its convictions that everything we need to lead a naturally healthy life is already available in what Mother Nature provides in her rich abundance. Their mission stems from this belief: to (re)seek out the treasures that the planet has so readily made available to us. The This Place philosophy is thoughtful and backed by research.

These products are free-from: Harmful Additives & Fillers, Artificial fragrance, Silicones, Parabens & Phthalates, Sulphates, MIT/CMIT, Palm Oil, Mineral Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Dye/Colorant, Gluten.

These products are: Cruelty-free + Vegan + Sustainably Minded Packaging.
  • General note: All This Place functional creams have a recommended ritual of application, designed to enhance relaxation and encourage a moment of wellness – Refer to the inside of the boxes or head to @thisplaceorganics to view short videos.

  • Warm a few dabs of the cream between your palms.
  • Close your eyes and place your palms over your face/nose–inhale, focus on your breath; this cream is as much about the olfactory senses as it is about muscle relaxation.
