Cannabis Topicals:

Targeted Relief Through Skin Absorption

Cannabis topicals are products infused with cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD), designed for direct application to the skin. These products come in various forms, including gels, balms, lotions, salves, and creams, and are formulated to provide localized relief without producing psychoactive effects.

Cannabis topicals interact with CB2 receptors in the skin, part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), to help reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort. They are a popular choice for natural relief from:

  • Muscle soreness & joint pain (arthritis, sports injuries)
  • Localized inflammation (sprains, strains, swelling)
  • Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, dry skin)
  • Nerve pain (neuropathy, migraines)


Some topicals include menthol, camphor, or essential oils for added cooling or anti-inflammatory effects. Transdermal patches go deeper, allowing cannabinoids to enter the bloodstream for more systemic relief.


Since most topicals don’t enter the bloodstream, they provide targeted relief without intoxication—making them a great option for pain management, skincare, and muscle recovery without the high.
