Discover how plant-based topicals can support hydrated, balanced, and nourished skin—naturally.
Why Skin Health Matters
Your skin does a lot more than just keep things looking fresh; it’s your body’s largest organ and your first line of defense. From sun exposure and wind to pollution and stress, your skin is constantly working to protect you from the outside world.
Over time, these daily stressors can leave skin feeling dry, dull, or irritated. And while there’s no shortage of skincare options out there, more people are turning to simple, plant-based products to support their skin naturally. Because when your skin feels good, you feel more like yourself.
What Is CBD Skincare?
CBD skincare involves applying cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound in hemp, directly to the skin. Unlike ingestible CBD, which travels through the bloodstream, topicals interact with receptors in the skin itself. These receptors are part of the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in maintaining homeostasis across many systems, including the skin.
When applied topically, CBD doesn’t enter the bloodstream but instead works locally. It may support comfort, hydration, and overall skin wellness by interacting with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the skin’s layers. Think of it as targeted care: where you apply it is where it goes to work.
The Benefits of CBD Topicals
CBD topicals offer a unique way to care for your skin, right where it counts. By working with the skin’s local receptors, CBD may improve skin health and promote hydration without affecting the rest of the body.
Some of the potential benefits of CBD skincare include:
- Targeted support for areas that feel dry, tense, or overworked, including muscles and joints that need extra care
- Calming effects that may help soothe skin exposed to stress or environmental elements
- Hydration and nourishment, especially when combined with other plant-based ingredients
- Antioxidant properties that may help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV exposure, pollution, and daily wear and tear
- Gentle application with no psychoactive effects and no need for ingestion
Whether you’re winding down after a workout or managing everyday dryness, CBD topicals offer a simple, non-invasive way to support your skin.

Our CBD topicals are designed to be simple, effective, and a joy to use, whether you’re hydrating dry skin or looking for a little extra support after a long day. Each one has its own personality, so here’s a quick breakdown to help you find your match:

How to Use CBD Topicals Effectively
Using CBD topicals is as easy as it gets: just apply and go. But a few extra steps can help you get the most out of your routine.
Start with clean, dry skin so the product can absorb properly. Scoop or squeeze a small amount into your hand, then massage it gently into the area using circular motions. Take your time. This isn’t just skincare; it’s self-care.
You can use your topical daily or after physical activity, depending on your needs. For added benefit, apply after a warm shower or light stretching, when your skin and muscles are primed to receive extra care.
Choosing the Right Product for You
Not sure which CBD topical to start with? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide based on your skin’s needs and your daily routine:
-
Need everyday hydration?
The CBD Cream is a great choice for soft, smoothskin from head to toe. It’s lightweight and gentle, great for both your body and your face.
- Dealing with dry, stubborn spots? Go for the CBD Salve. It’s rich, targeted, and a little goes a long way.
-
Always on the move? The CBD Sports Cream is made for post-workout care or long days when your body needs a refresh.
You can stick with one or mix and match depending on the day. There’s no wrong way to work a little plant-powered support into your routine.
More Ways to Support Skin Naturally
CBD is a great addition to your skincare routine, but healthy skin starts from within. A few simple habits can go a long way in helping your skin stay vibrant and resilient:
- Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin soft and supple from the inside out.
- Prioritize sleep: Your skin does its best repair work at night. Make rest a non-negotiable.
- Nourish with food: Antioxidant-rich choices like berries, leafy greens, and omega-3s (chia seeds and wild-caught salmon) support your skin’s natural defenses.
- Protect daily: Sunscreen isn’t just for summer. UV exposure happens year-round, so protect your skin, even on cloudy days.
- Manage stress: Chronic stress affects your skin as much as your mood. Try breathwork, journaling, or a calming CBD ritual.
Healthy skin is a whole-body effort. The more you care for yourself, the better your skin feels.
FAQs About CBD and Skincare
Will CBD topicals make me break out?
Our topicals are made with clean, gentle ingredients and are free from synthetic fragrances and harsh additives.
