CBD for Discomfort

Three formats, three ways to use them

The main decision here isn't which product — it's which format. They work differently and suit different situations.

• Ingestibles — tinctures, gummies, and softgels, taken by mouth. These enter the bloodstream and circulate, so they're the format people use as part of a daily routine rather than for one spot.
• Topicals — salves, roll-ons, creams, and massage oil, applied directly to skin. These stay largely in the layers of the skin rather than entering the bloodstream, which is why they use much higher total milligram counts than an ingestible.
• Bath — bath bombs and bath salts. A whole-body version of a topical, combined with warm water and Epsom salts.

Plenty of customers use more than one — an ingestible daily and a topical on a particular spot. They're not alternatives to each other.

What we carry in each

Ingestibles

Tinctures come in four formulations from 1,000 to 4,000 mg, each with its own flavor: peppermint isolate, strawberry full spectrum, coconut CBD + CBG, and lemon CBD + CBN. Gummies are 30 to 50 mg each in daytime and nighttime ranges. We also make a plain CBD isolate powder for anyone who wants to measure their own and add it to food or drink.

Topicals

Our salve runs from 500 mg to 6,000 mg in grapefruit, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and unscented. The roll-on is 600 mg in a travel-sized applicator. We also make a whipped body cream, a foot cream, a magnesium night cream, and a full spectrum massage oil with almond and jojoba.

Bath

Bath bombs in lavender, lemongrass, and rose, plus CBD bath salts blended with Epsom salts.

How to use them

Tinctures — hold under the tongue for 30 to 60 seconds before swallowing. Start with a small amount and adjust from there.

Gummies — one gummy, chewed thoroughly. Fixed dose, no measuring.

Topicals — apply directly to the area and massage in. A little goes a long way at these concentrations; reapply as you like.

Bath — one bath bomb or a scoop of salts in warm water, and soak for 20 to 30 minutes.

Talk to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medication, particularly anything metabolized by the liver. Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal, but state rules vary — check yours before ordering.

Tested every batch

An independent lab tests every batch for cannabinoid potency and for pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants, and we publish the certificate of analysis before a product goes on sale. Come try them at our Westminster storefront, open six days a week, or at roughly 100 Front Range farmers markets a year.

Things to know before you buy

Why topicals have such big numbers on them

A 6,000 mg salve isn't 120 times stronger than a 50 mg gummy. Topicals are measured across a whole jar and applied over an area of skin, where an ingestible is measured per dose. The two numbers aren't comparable, and a high milligram count on a topical is normal rather than remarkable. Compare topicals to other topicals.

Which formulation, not just which format

Across these products you'll find full spectrum and isolate, plus blends with CBG and CBN. Full spectrum products contain trace THC below the federal limit; isolate products contain none. If you're subject to workplace or athletic drug testing, choose isolate — our CBD vs. THC guide explains what shows up on a screen.

Scent matters more than you'd think

Our salve comes in grapefruit, eucalyptus, lemongrass, and unscented, and the topicals get used on hands, feet, shoulders, and necks — places where you'll smell it for a while. If you're using it at work or before bed, unscented is there for a reason.

Ingredients and allergens

Our massage oil contains almond oil, and several formulas contain coconut oil or beeswax. The FDA classifies both almond and coconut as tree nuts. Full ingredient lists are on every product page — worth reading if you have a nut allergy.
