The best CBD topicals
— verified by us.
CBD creams, balms, salves, and roll-ons for targeted, localized relief. Every brand here has passed our full COA verification. No smokable products. Ever.
Important: CBD topicals do not enter the bloodstream in meaningful amounts. They work locally at the site of application. If you're looking for systemic effects — sleep, calm, anxiety — see our edibles or tinctures pages.

A 1000mg topical in a 2oz jar contains 500mg per ounce. A 1000mg topical in an 8oz jar contains only 125mg per ounce. The concentration — not the total — determines how strong the product is.
We calculate mg per oz for every topical we review so you can compare across brands accurately.
