CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD will not make you "high." CBD works naturally with the body’s own endocannabinoid system (ECS).

No, CBD will not make you "high." It is however important to make sure the CBD products you use are tested and do not contain high levels of THC. THC can make you "high." All Basic Jane products are tested and shown to be THC-free.

Yes, if it comes from hemp. In 2018 the Farm Bill legalized the growth, processing and sale of hemp in hemp plants that contain <0.3% THC. However, some states have additional laws regarding CBD product sales and use, so it is important to check local laws and regulations.

Both hemp and marijuana plants are members of the cannabis genus of plants; hemp plants produce less than 0.3% THC. Marijuana plants produce more than 0.3% THC.THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the "high" sensation.  Hemp is federally legal. Marijuana is not federally legal.

Understanding the THC concentration in products can be confusing for consumers. The industry has established terminology that consumers can use to base their purchase decisions upon.  Many products in the market contain THC. Those products are often labeled as "Full Spectrum" products. These products are generated by using oil that is generated directly from hemp without any remediation (removal) of THC.

"Broad Spectrum" products are made from hemp oil which has had the THC remediated but contain all the other compounds found in the hemp plant.  

"Isolate" is purified CBD. It looks like a salt and generally has purity of over 99% CBD. You can think of it like purified sugar. It is simply CBD. These products are generally THC-free. This requires additional manufacturing steps. Basic Jane has elected to use isolate in its products. We find the product is very consistent allowing us to provide you the same product every time. As part of our formulating, we use other plant based essential oils such as lavender or citrus oil to aid in overall scent and product goals.

Topicals (Creams, Gels, Sprays)

Fast, targeted support — applied only where you need it.

• Begin working quickly compared to other formats
• Support is focused on the specific area where applied
• Generally lasts around up to 4 hours depending on use
• Ideal for knees, hands, back, shoulders, or activity-related discomfort
• Great first step for seniors who want on-demand, non-overwhelming relief

Best for: localized discomfort, daily mobility, post-activity support

Oral Products (mints, Gummies)

Whole-body support that lasts longer.

• Absorbed through digestion and may support the body more broadly
• Typically take longer to notice (30–90 minutes)
• Effects may last up to 6–8 hours depending on metabolism
• Helpful for seniors looking for routine comfort or sleep support
• “Start low and go slow” is the best approach for finding the right fit

Best for: sleep routines, whole-body balance, consistent daily support

Transdermal Patches

Extended relief with either targeted or full-body support.

• Absorb gradually through the skin for up to 12 hours of steady relief
• Can be placed directly on the area for strong localized support
• Can also be applied to venous areas (inner arm, back, shoulder) for more systemic benefit
• Helpful for seniors who want continuing support without reapplying products

Best for: chronic, recurring discomfort; longer outings; overnight use

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

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.

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.

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. Learn more about how Basic Jane designs there products to work effectively here

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.

Basic Jane oral products are developed out of one of the first state-licensed cannabis research programs in the U.S. Every formula is designed by scientists with a focus on real-world use, consistent dosing, and meaningful results. All oral products are THC-free — so you get the benefits of cannabinoids without any psychoactive effects or concerns about drug testing.

No. All Basic Jane oral products are 100% THC-free and are legally sold under the 2018 Farm Bill. They will not get you high and are designed for clear-headed, everyday wellness.

It depends on what you need! CBD Mints are a great everyday starting point — low-dose, gentle, and appropriate for any time of day. For stronger inflammation relief, Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA (the raw form of CBD), which provides an added boost for more significant discomfort. Both work systemically, meaning they support your whole body — not just one area.

CBD Mints contain 5 mg of CBD per mint — a perfect microdose for consistent, all-day support. Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA for extra inflammation relief. Think of CBD Mints as your everyday companion and Boost Mints as your go-to when you need more firepower — particularly after a tough workout, a flare-up, or a harder day.

Refresh Chews contain CBD, CBG, and terpenes, making them ideal for people who want to power through their day with more clarity and ease. They are designed to help reduce anxiety, support focus and energy, and keep you feeling your best without any jittery side effects. Perfect for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Passion Chews are designed specifically for women — particularly post-menopausal women — to help them feel present, connected, and in the moment when they want to. They are thoughtfully formulated with women's hormonal health in mind and designed to support intimacy and overall well-being.

Night Caps are actually cannabinoid-free. Instead, they contain a blend of hops (Humulus lupulus) and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) — two botanicals with a long history of traditional use as natural sleep aids. They are non-habit-forming and designed to help you wind down, fall asleep, and wake up refreshed. A wonderful option for anyone who prefers to keep their sleep routine free of cannabinoids.

Night Caps are Basic Jane's dedicated sleep product and are the first recommendation for anyone struggling to get a good night's rest. Their blend of hops and valerian is non-habit-forming and designed specifically for sleep support. If you are also managing pain that interferes with sleep, pairing Night Caps with a CBD Mint or Boost Mint may provide broader comfort going into bedtime.

CBD Mints are perfect for any time of day — subtle, low-dose, and easy to take on the go. Refresh Chews are a standout daytime choice if you want an added edge: the CBD/CBG and terpene blend is designed to keep anxiety at bay and help you feel energized and focused. Both are discreet, minty, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Boost Mints are a great post-workout choice. The combination of CBD and CBDA works systemically throughout the body to support inflammation relief and recovery. Take one to two mints after exercise and give them 30–90 minutes to build. For faster, localized muscle relief right after a workout, consider pairing with a Relieve Cream or Relieve Gel topically as well.

Yes — and many customers do. Topicals like the Relieve Cream, Relieve Gel, and Pain Sprays target localized areas like sore knees, shoulders, or back, while oral products like CBD Mints and Boost Mints provide systemic, whole-body support. Using both together is one of the most effective approaches for people managing chronic or widespread discomfort.

Topical CBD products work locally — you apply them directly to the area of discomfort and they interact with receptors in the skin and underlying tissue. Oral products are absorbed through digestion and work systemically, supporting your whole body rather than one specific area. This makes oral products especially valuable for conditions that are more widespread, internal, or mood- and sleep-related.

Oral products typically take 30–90 minutes to take effect, depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. Plan accordingly — they are not a rapid-response product in the way topicals are, but their effects last significantly longer.

Effects from oral CBD products typically last 6–8 hours, making them a great choice for consistent, long-lasting support throughout the day or night.

CBDA is the raw, unheated form of CBD found in the hemp plant. Research suggests it may have potent anti-inflammatory properties, and when combined with CBD, the two cannabinoids may work synergistically for enhanced effect. That is why Boost Mints contain both — to deliver extra support beyond what CBD alone can provide.

CBG (cannabigerol) is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid" because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids. It is being studied for its potential to support mood, energy, and focus. In Refresh Chews, CBG is combined with CBD and terpenes to create a formula specifically designed to help you feel clear-headed, calm, and energized.

CBD Mints are designed for any time of day. Many customers take one in the morning as part of their wellness routine, another mid-afternoon, or after activity for recovery. Because each mint is a low 5 mg dose, you can adjust timing and quantity to fit your lifestyle. Start with one and see how your body responds.

Boost Mints are best taken when you need more targeted inflammation support — after exercise, during a flare-up, or when you know a more demanding day is ahead. Because they contain both CBD and CBDA, they are more potent than standard CBD Mints and are ideal when everyday support is not quite enough.

Take Night Caps about 30–60 minutes before bed to give the hops and valerian time to take effect. They are designed to help you relax, fall asleep naturally, and stay asleep through the night.

Basic Jane CBD Patches were developed out of one of the first state-licensed cannabis research programs in the U.S. Unlike topical creams, gels, and sprays that work locally at the surface, our transdermal patches are engineered to deliver CBD steadily through the skin over an extended period — up to 12 hours of consistent support from a single patch. Every patch is THC-free and formulated with key ingredients like aloe and CoQ-10 to maximize both comfort and absorption.

Yes. Basic Jane patches are 100% THC-free, are third-party tested, and are legally sold under the 2018 Farm Bill. They will not get you high and will not cause concerns around drug testing.

Creams, gels, and sprays are topical — they work locally at the site of application and typically last up to 4 hours. The transdermal patch is in a different category entirely. It delivers CBD gradually and continuously through the skin, and depending on where you place it, can provide either powerful localized relief or whole-body systemic support — for up to 12 hours. It is one of the most efficient and long-lasting delivery formats Basic Jane offers.

Reach for the patch when you need extended, hands-free relief. It is ideal for long days, overnight use, travel, outdoor activities, or any situation where reapplying a topical every few hours is not practical. It is also a great option for people who want consistent support without having to think about it.

Both patches and oral products can provide systemic, whole-body support. The key differences are onset and duration: patches begin working within about an hour and last up to 12 hours, while oral products like CBD Mints also take 30–90 minutes but may wear off sooner depending on your metabolism. Patches also give you the added option of localized placement — you can direct the relief exactly where your body needs it most.

Transdermal means the active ingredients pass through the skin and enter the body's system, rather than just working on the surface. This is what sets the Basic Jane patch apart from a typical topical. Ingredients are absorbed steadily through the skin layer, delivering continuous support over time.

Two ingredients make the patch especially effective beyond CBD itself:

Aloe provides a soothing, skin-calming base that helps the patch sit comfortably for extended wear — reducing any irritation and keeping the delivery area comfortable over hours of use.

CoQ-10 (Coenzyme Q-10) is a powerful absorption enhancer. It helps drive the CBD deeper through the skin and into the tissues beneath, making the patch significantly more effective than simply applying a cream or gel to the same area.

Yes — and this is one of the most unique features of the Basic Jane patch. Placement determines whether the patch works locally or systemically:

For systemic, whole-body support: Place the patch on a venous area — such as the inner wrist, inner arm, upper chest, or the back of the knee. In these areas, CBD absorbs into the bloodstream more readily and can support the body more broadly, similar to how an oral product works but through the skin.

For localized, targeted relief: Place the patch directly on or near the area of discomfort — such as the lower back, hip, knee, or shoulder. In these less venous areas, the patch delivers extra-strength, concentrated support right where you need it most. This makes it one of the most powerful targeted relief options in the Basic Jane lineup.

Most users begin to notice effects within 30–60 minutes of application. The patch delivers CBD gradually and continuously, so the effect builds steadily over the first hour and then maintains consistent support throughout the day or night.

Each patch provides up to 12 hours of continuous relief — more than three times longer than Basic Jane's creams, gels, and sprays. Many customers apply a patch in the morning and enjoy uninterrupted support through the day, or apply one at night for overnight recovery.

The patch is flexible enough for any time of day, but it truly shines in situations where long-lasting, low-maintenance support matters:

• Morning: Apply at the start of the day for 12 hours of steady support without reapplying.
• Before activity: Place on the target area before a long hike, travel day, or physically demanding event.
• Before bed: Apply for overnight recovery — especially effective for people who wake up with stiffness or chronic discomfort.
• During travel: The patch is discreet, mess-free, and easy to wear on the go.

The patch is designed to stay in place during normal activity. However, excessive sweating, prolonged water exposure, or vigorous rubbing may affect adhesion. For intense workouts, applying to a less mobile area can help ensure it stays put.

For workouts, the Relieve Gel or Pain Spray are great for fast pre-workout application. The patch is a better choice for all-day or overnight use, or for placing on a chronic trouble spot like a bad hip or knee before a long, demanding day. Both approaches work well and can be combined.

The inclusion of aloe makes the patch gentle and soothing for most skin types. If you have very sensitive skin or known adhesive allergies, we recommend testing on a small area first. Discontinue use if irritation develops.

Yes. The patch is one of our most recommended formats for seniors because it requires no reapplication, delivers consistent dosing, and can be placed either on a venous area for whole-body comfort or directly on a chronic trouble spot like the hip, knee, or lower back for powerful localized relief. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider if you are taking prescription medications.
