Hemp Topicals Explained
Hemp topicals are products like balms, creams, salves, and lotions that you apply directly to your skin. At The Lifted Leaf, every topical is hemp-derived, third-party lab tested, and made to stay under the federal 0.3% Delta-9 THC limit by dry weight.
What hemp topicals are
Hemp topicals are products you apply to the outside of your body, on your skin. Common forms include balms, salves, creams, lotions, and roll-ons. They are made with hemp-derived ingredients and are meant to be used externally, not eaten or inhaled.
Like everything at The Lifted Leaf, hemp topicals are non-intoxicating and do not get you high. They are hemp-derived and test under the federal 0.3% Delta-9 THC limit by dry weight.
- Balms and salves: thicker, often wax or oil based.
- Creams and lotions: lighter and more spreadable.
- Roll-ons and sticks: packaged for easy application to a specific spot.
How hemp topicals are generally applied
Hemp topicals are generally applied directly to the skin. Most people put a small amount on their fingertips or use the applicator, then spread it over the external area they want to cover.
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Apply a small amount and spread it evenly over the external area.
- Follow the directions on the specific product's label.
- Wash your hands after use, and keep topicals away from the eyes and broken skin.

Hemp, lab testing, and the COA
Every hemp topical we carry is third-party lab tested, and we keep a COA, a certificate of analysis, on every product so you can see what is in it. A COA is a lab report that confirms the cannabinoid content and screens for contaminants.
Hemp topicals are for adults 21 and older, and you will need a valid government-issued photo ID to buy them in store. Hemp rules vary by location and can change, so it is worth checking the current rules where you live.
