Cannabinoid Science

The Cannabinoids in Every Kannaco Formula

A professional-level overview of CBD, CBG, and how they appear in each Kannaco formula.

CBD

Cannabidiol

Non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found in the hemp plant.

  • Source Hemp plant
  • Psychoactive No
  • Kannaco Concentration 2,000–4,000mg / unit

  • Known As Parent cannabinoid
  • Ratio to CBD 1:1 in all formulas
  • THC Content 0.0% in every formula

  • Kannaco Formulas CBD + CBG, not full spectrum
  • Full Spectrum THC <0.3% (Farm Bill)
  • Kannaco THC 0.0% in every formula
Not used in Kannaco formulas

Choosing the Right Formula for Each Client

Every Kannaco formula is CBD + CBG with 0.0% THC, verified on a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. The choice comes down to format and feel: Pro Cream (Warming Formula), Pro Roll-On (Max Cooling Formula) or Cooling Cream (Cooling Formula).

Wants a roll-on format → Pro Roll-On
Prefers a cooling cream → Cooling Cream
Every formula: 0.0% THC

Texture & Application

How Kannaco Formulas Apply and Feel on the Skin

Kannaco topicals are oil-in-water emulsions made to spread evenly. Menthol gives a cooling feel, and camphor and arnica are part of the warming, aromatic blend. The formulas dry in a couple of minutes and leave a clean, non-greasy finish with a light scent.

3 formulas Two creams and one roll-on

Kannaco topicals are applied to the skin, and we do not claim that they treat, cure or prevent any condition.

Application Step by Step

How Kannaco formulas go on, feel and finish

  1. Application & Emulsification

    The cream or roll-on is applied to clean skin. The emulsifier system (cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate) creates a stable oil-in-water emulsion that spreads uniformly and maintains cannabinoid suspension.

  2. Massage or Glide

    Massage the cream in gently, or glide the rollerball over the area. Common application areas include the neck, shoulders, back, hands, knees, legs and feet.

  3. Cooling and Warming Feel

    Menthol gives a cooling feel. Camphor and arnica are part of the warming, aromatic blend. Pro Cream has a cool-then-warm feel, and Pro Roll-On has a cooling feel.

  4. Clean Finish

    The formulas dry in a couple of minutes and leave a clean, non-greasy finish with a light scent.

Professional Application Guide

How to Integrate Kannaco Topicals Into Your Practice

Modality-specific application steps and timing guidance for chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, and acupuncture practices.

Chiropractic

Pro Cream

Apply Pro Cream to the back, neck or shoulders 5 to 10 minutes before an adjustment. The cream has a cool-then-warm feel and dries to a clean, non-greasy finish. It can also be applied at the end of the visit and offered as a take-home product.

Timing:5–10 min pre-adjustment; immediately post-adjustment

Physical Therapy

Pro Cream + Pro Roll-On

Apply Pro Cream before exercise, manual techniques, or IASTM. The Pro Roll-On is a hands-free option for application areas such as the knee, shoulder or ankle during a session. Offer Pro Roll-On as a take-home product: the no-mess rollerball is easy for clients to use on their own.

Timing:Pre-exercise, pre-IASTM; post-session

Massage Therapy

CBD Cooling Cream

CBD Cooling Cream can be used as a massage medium. Apply to the area and allow 2 to 3 minutes before beginning effleurage. The menthol and camphor give a cooling feel during Swedish and other massage techniques. For clients who prefer a 0.0% THC formula, substitute Pro Cream.

Timing:2–3 min pre-massage; can be reapplied mid-session

Acupuncture

Pro Roll-On

Apply Pro Roll-On 5 minutes before needling or at the end of the session. The rollerball allows hands-free, no-mess application to a small area. The isolate formula is 0.0% THC, verified on a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.

Timing:5 min pre-needling; end of session
