By Saturday, most of the people who walk into our Loveland shop have earned something that actually works. Maybe it was a long trail run up Devil’s Backbone on Thursday. Maybe it was five days sitting at a desk with your shoulders slowly climbing toward your ears. Either way, you’re looking for something real.
The GoodLeaf Pain Butter is the topical we reach for most when someone’s describing either of those situations.
What It Is
Pain Butter by GoodLeaf Hemp Therapeutics is a whipped body butter — not a cream, not a gel, not a balm stick. The texture is richer than any of those, and it stays where you put it. GoodLeaf built it around 2300mg of nano CBD and CBG isolates, suspended in a base of shea butter and manuka honey. That combination is what makes it different from most of what’s on our shelf.
Nano CBD and CBG means the hemp compounds have been broken down into smaller particles before they go into the formula. The practical effect is faster absorption. You’re not waiting for it to slowly sink in the way a thick cream sometimes requires. It moves through the skin quickly and goes to work in the area you applied it.
Why CBG in a Topical
Most people who come in know CBD. CBG — cannabigerol — is less familiar, but it’s been showing up in topical formulas for good reason. GoodLeaf pairs them together in Pain Butter, and the result is something more targeted than a standard CBD-only topical.
It’s not medicine. But for people who use it regularly — for post-activity soreness, for that spot on their lower back that never quite resets — the pairing does more work than either ingredient would alone. That’s the feedback we keep hearing from customers who come back to buy refills.
How It Compares to a Roll-On
We also carry the Koi CBD Roll-On, 1500 MG ($95), and that’s not going anywhere. Roll-ons are great for targeted, mess-free application — especially if you’re heading back to work or just don’t want to get product on your hands. The tradeoff is coverage: a roll-on works a smaller area and delivers less cannabinoid per pass.
Pain Butter covers more ground. If you’re working on a whole shoulder, a tight IT band, or both calves after a long day on the trail, it’s the better format for the job.
The CBDfx Muscle & Joint Creams ($35) are a solid starting point if you’re new to topical CBD and want to test the waters without committing to a higher price point. The cooling formula in particular is popular with customers who want something quick and familiar. But Pain Butter is the one that inspires the most reorders.
Who We Recommend It To
Colorado is hard on bodies. We see a lot of hikers, cyclists, and people who spend their weekends moving and their weekdays sitting still. Pain Butter fits both groups.
It’s not just an athletic recovery product. It’s for anyone dealing with that kind of chronic everyday tension that topical CBD may help ease — the neck that gets tight by Wednesday, the hip that flares up after a long drive, the forearms that ache from two hours of gardening.
We also recommend it to customers who’ve tried other topicals and felt like they weren’t quite getting there. If you’ve used a CBD balm stick and thought ‘maybe it helped a little,’ Pain Butter is meaningfully different in both strength and format. It’s worth trying before writing topicals off entirely.
It’s $70 and in stock. Come in and we’ll put the jar in your hands — that texture speaks for itself.
