Refresh Bundle

Basic Jane was developed out of one of the first state-licensed cannabis research programs in the U.S. Our formulations are designed by scientists and clinicians with a focus on consistency, absorption, and real-world use—especially for active adults and seniors. Every product is THC-free and built for reliable, everyday use.

For CBD to work it has to cross the skin barrier and the Basic Jane team has spent years designing topicals that actually work. Learn more about why CBD is not the most important ingredient in CBD topicals here.

It depends on your preference and time of day! The Relieve Gelis a wonderful morning choice — it's light, fast-absorbing, and won't weigh you down as you start your day. In the evening, the Relieve Cream is our most popular pick — rich, nourishing, and perfect for unwinding. Both are formulated with hemp-derived CBD, menthol, and peppermint for cooling relief.

Our Relieve Cream was designed with exactly this in mind. Its richer formula lingers on the skin longer, making it ideal for persistent pain — and it's especially lovely applied at night so it can work while you rest. It's been recognized by Oxygen Magazine as an Editor's Choice product and is trusted by people who deal with chronic discomfort every day.

Relieve Gel is a top choice due to its lightweight formula and inclusion of arnica and MSM.

The Relieve Gel and Relieve Pain Spray are your best pre-workout companions. Both
absorb quickly, feel light on the skin, and won't leave you feeling greasy during exercise. The Pain Spray is especially popular at the gym — it dries
almost instantly and delivers fast cooling relief right where you need it. Save the Relieve Cream for after your workout or at night.

Post-workout, the Relieve Cream is a treat — indulgent, nourishing, and designed for
recovery. If you're heading back out or it's earlier in the day, the Relieve Gel or Relieve Pain Spray work beautifully too. All three feature menthol and peppermint for that satisfying cooling sensation after a hard session.

Relieve Gel and Pain Spray are lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy—ideal for daily use.

We have a few nighttime favorites! The Relax Essential Oil Roller and Relax Pain
Spray were made for evenings — their blend of lavender, clary sage, and ylang-ylang provides calming aromatherapy alongside CBD relief, helping you wind down and drift off. The Relieve Cream is also a wonderful bedtime ritual for sore muscles — rich and nourishing, it works quietly while you sleep.

Reach for the Awake Essential Oil Roller or Awake Pain Spray. Both are crafted for
daytime use — the uplifting blend of bergamot, ginger, orange, and menthol
refreshes your senses and helps you power through the afternoon. The roller is
small enough to keep in your bag or desk drawer for whenever you need it.

The Relax Essential Oil Roller and Relax Pain Spray are your go-tos here — both are
designed to decompress and calm. Ylang-ylang helps with stress, clary sage
supports balance, and lavender is deeply soothing. They're best in the evening
or whenever you need to slow down. Apply to your wrists or temples, take a few
deep breaths, and let the aromatherapy do its thing.

The Pain Sprays and Relieve Gel are your go-tos in the heat. Both are lightweight
and fast-absorbing, so they won't feel heavy or slide off in warm conditions.
The Relieve Cream, while wonderful for evenings and cooler days, is a thicker
formula that can feel heavy when temperatures rise.

Yes. Many users layer products, such as using a gel during the day and a cream at night.

Topicals are best for targeted areas like joints or muscles. Oral CBD is used for systemic, whole-body effects. Many people use both.

Topicals are best for targeted areas like joints, muscles, or specific points of discomfort. Oral products work systemically throughout the body. Many customers use both—topicals for immediate, localized relief and oral products for longer-lasting, whole-body support.

Basic Jane products are THC free.

CBD topicals are designed to work locally at the site of application and are not intended to produce systemic effects like ingestible CBD. This makes them a great option for targeted support without whole-body exposure.

CBD topicals work locally interacting with receptors in the endocannabinoid system. Unlike ingestible CBD, topicals are designed to support localized areas like joints and muscles rather than the whole body. Ingredients like menthol and MSM help enhance penetration.

Apply directly to areas you need relief including knees, shoulders, back, hands, or neck. Rollers are also great for temples and wrists. Avoid eyes and broken skin.

Most users feel the cooling effect within minutes. Deeper comfort typically builds over 10–20 minutes as the product absorbs into the skin.

Effects typically last 2–4 hours depending on the product and activity level. Creams tend to last longer, while sprays and gels act faster but may wear off sooner.

These ingredients help drive absorption and enhance how quickly you feel relief. Menthol provides immediate cooling, MSM supports deeper penetration, and ethanol allows fast, residue-free delivery. We design each formula with specific carriers based on how and when it’s used.
