On-The-Skin

Can you put cannabis on your skin?

Cannabis that you put on your face, feet, and um, privates?  It’s one of the fastest growing and most unique segments of the cannabis industry, and far from traditional cannabis, yes, we mean cannabis that is applied to the skin! My how cannabis has progressed from the roll and toke era! Cutting-edge cannabis is now found in lotions, gels, bath-bombs, balms, oils, and lubes, yes, that lube. From scent-free CBD cooling roll-ons, THC-blend tingly silky lotions, topicals are often deeply concentrated, so you only need a little to achieve full satisfaction.

What if I don’t want to be intoxicated but still want the benefits?

Known more broadly as “Topicals,” most on-the-skin products are non-intoxicating, or made to evoke relaxation.

Call it a spa treatment in a bottle or jar. Call it that bedtime story that leads you into a good sleep. Call it yoga on a Sunday morning, or that soothing ice pack post-workout.

Cannabis skin-products are the result of years of study to understand the ways which the human body processes cannabinoids, and how the receptors of the cannabinoid system are affected. Infused with cooling peppermint, relaxing lavender, head-clearing and purifying eucalyptus, and many other blends, or simply hypo-allergenic for sensitive users, on-the-skin choices come in an ever-growing abundance of combinations to suit every budget and preference.

How do topicals work?

Designed to enter the bloodstream rapidly by fingertip or roll-on application, on-the-skin products are fast-acting and localized, meaning many topicals only target the area of the body which they are applied, instead of full-body effect.

Some unique products such as bath-bombs and salts which are made to come in contact with more of the body at once can offer a gentler, more organic sedative effect. Neat’s carefully selected collection of on-the-skin new delights bring home rewards of cannabis progress, though we are only just beginning to understand the mystery and positive powers of topical cannabis.
