Patch-test first

A new topical deserves a small trial run. Put a little on a small area of clean, dry skin, wait, and see how your skin responds before using it more widely. This matters most if your skin is sensitive, and it is the step people skip. Check the ingredient list while you are at it.

Which kind: lotion, balm, patch or soak

Lotions and creams are lighter and spread over a larger area. Salves and balms are thicker and usually come in smaller containers. Transdermal patches stick to the skin, and some are meant to carry cannabinoids into the bloodstream. Bath soaks and salts dissolve in the tub. The label spells out what each one holds and how to use it.

Not every topical is intoxicating

Most are made to stay on the skin, and many contain little or no THC, but products differ. Some are CBD-dominant, some balanced, and a few, such as certain patches, are designed to reach the bloodstream. The label tells you which kind you are holding, and the Grand Rapids team can read one with you. The cannabis topicals guide has more.

Using one, and storing it

Follow the directions on each package. Keep it off eyes and broken skin, wash your hands afterward, and store the container closed, away from heat and out of reach of children and pets. If a product bothers your skin, stop using it.

Good To Know

Topicals FAQ

What should I read on a topical label?

Look for the cannabinoid content (THC, CBD or both), the ingredient list, the directions for how much to use, and whether the product is meant to be intoxicating. If you have sensitive skin, give the ingredient list as much attention as the cannabinoid amount, and patch-test before you commit.

Is a patch the same as a lotion?

No. Lotions, creams and balms are made to stay on the skin, while a transdermal patch sticks to the skin and some are designed to carry cannabinoids into the bloodstream. Read the label for what a given patch contains and how long to wear it, and ask the team if you are unsure.

How should I store a topical?

Keep the container closed, away from heat and light, and out of reach of children and pets. Check the package for the date and for any storage directions from the maker, and wash your hands after you apply it so it does not end up near your eyes.
