When we started Kannaco, the topical CBD market was already crowded. Every brand was making a cream. Most of them were doing it the same way: take a standard lotion base, stir in some CBD isolate, slap a label on it, and call it a wellness product. We tried those products. They did not work.
We are a topical-only brand — not because it was the easy path, but because we believe targeted, localized delivery is the most effective way to support daily comfort and recovery for active adults. We did not want to make a little bit of everything. We wanted to make one category of product so well that it actually changed how people feel.
The problem was not the cannabinoid. CBD and CBG are genuinely effective compounds with real receptor activity in the skin and underlying tissue. The problem was the formulation. A cannabinoid sitting on the surface of your skin cannot reach the receptors it needs to reach. Penetration is everything — and the industry standard was, and largely still is, to ignore it.
So we rebuilt the formula from the ground up. We developed a hyper-emulsion process that disperses cannabinoids at the molecular level for uniform, deep delivery. We added nine functional terpenes selected specifically to enhance penetration and broaden receptor activity. We sourced a 1:1 CBD:CBG ratio because the science on CBG's direct CB2 receptor affinity is compelling and underutilized. And we third-party tested everything through SC Labs so you never have to take our word for it.
