What are CBG Topicals?

CBG topicals are products containing cannabigerol (CBG) that you apply to your skin, rather than consume orally.

CBG is considered a minor cannabinoid, as it only occurs in small amounts. Contrast this with CBD and THC, which are relatively very abundant. 

But even though CBG isn’t extremely abundant, it’s extremely beneficial. CBG has been researched for a variety of conditions, and it’s commonly used for pain, inflammation, anxiety, and focus. 

Why Shop CBG Topicals from Natural Ways CBD?

At Natural Ways CBD, we only carry products that contain less than 0.3% THC and have been tested by a 3rd-party lab to verify their safety and potency. 

But legal, safe, and effective products are table stakes for any cannabinoid brand — what truly sets us apart is our:

• Selection — We offer an extensive product line under our own brand name: Natural Ways CBD. But we aren’t limited to carrying our own products; we also curate the best of what other companies have to offer. This means you get more options to choose from without needing to spend more time vetting products: you can confidently select an option and know that it will be safe and effective. 
• Experience — Although we pride ourselves on providing a great online CBD shopping experience, Natural Ways CBD isn’t just an online business. In fact, we have six brick-and-mortar retail stores in the Houston, Texas area. Because we talk to customers face-to-face every day, we receive immediate and detailed feedback about how our products are working, allowing us to continuously improve our products. The end result? The CBG topicals and other products you buy from us are what’s actually working for real people, not some formula we think works. 
• Values —  We put people over profit. Our company was started after the owners experienced a medical scare with a family member and witnessed how CBD products helped. We’re dedicated to making natural wellness available to all; we do that by offering the highest-quality products at fair prices.

Benefits of CBG Topicals

The therapeutic benefits of topical CBG application haven’t been researched, however, research on oral CBG consumption suggests topical use may have therapeutic benefits, too:

• Pain & Inflammation – 2021 research from King’s College in London, England found that CBG may have anti-inflammatory effects. Anecdotally, many people use CBG for physical discomfort. While CBG topicals don’t reach the bloodstream, they promote physical comfort by interacting with surface-level endocannabinoid receptors. 
• Skin Health – Our CBG topicals are made with a variety of natural ingredients, all of which have moisturizing and healing benefits for the skin. Ingredients we use include almond oil, shea butter, vitamin E, and essential oils.

How to Use CBG Topicals

Best practices for applying topicals will vary by product. However, a general rule of thumb is to thoroughly apply whichever CBG topical you’re using to the affected area.

CBG topicals are considered safe to use, but you’ll still want to check with your doctor before using them to ensure they’re the right choice for you. You’ll also want to avoid applying CBG topicals to damaged skin. 

Additionally, once you buy a new topical, you’ll want to test how it works with your skin by conducting a small patch test: rub a little bit of the CBG topical into your wrist and monitor for any irritation before applying it elsewhere.
