Hempworx Relief Cream
I have been selling and using Hempworx products since 2014, and if there is one product I reach for more consistently than any other, it is the Hempworx Relief Cream. Not because I have to say that. Because it is genuinely true.
There are a lot of hemp creams on the market right now. A lot. Most of them are thin, smell like a chemistry lab, and leave a greasy film on your skin that transfers to everything you touch. I have tried more of them than I care to admit in my years as an authorized Hempworx and Immunotec representative. So when I tell you that Hempworx Relief Cream is different, I am saying that from experience, not from a product description I copied off a box.
This is what I actually know about it, how it works, who it works best for, and why I think the formula stands apart from everything else in the hemp cream category.
What Hempworx Relief Cream Actually Is
At its core, Hempworx Relief Cream is a broad spectrum CBD topical. That means it contains the full range of cannabinoids found in hemp, minus THC, which is not detected in this formula at all. It comes in a 50ml jar and the texture is somewhere between a lotion and a gel. It absorbs quickly, which matters a lot when you want to put your clothes on and get on with your day.
But calling it just a CBD cream undersells it significantly. The formula has three active components working together, and understanding all three of them explains why it performs the way it does.
The Three Ingredients That Matter
Broad Spectrum CBD
CBD applied topically interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the skin, muscles, and surrounding tissue. When you use a cream rather than taking CBD orally, you are targeting a specific area rather than waiting for a systemic effect. That is the whole point of a topical. The broad spectrum formulation means you get the benefit of multiple cannabinoids working together rather than CBD in isolation.
Hempworx sources their hemp from American farms and the CBD in this cream is third party tested for potency and purity. That matters because the hemp cream market has a real quality problem. There are products out there claiming CBD concentrations that independent testing has shown to be wildly exaggerated. Knowing the brand you are buying from tests their products is not a small thing.
CBG (Cannabigerol)
This is where things get genuinely interesting. CBG is one of the less talked about cannabinoids but researchers and formulators have been paying close attention to it. It is sometimes called the precursor cannabinoid because other cannabinoids develop from it during the hemp plant’s growth cycle.
What makes CBG worth including in a topical is its interaction with CBD. The two cannabinoids appear to work better together than either does alone, a principle known as the entourage effect. In a topical context, CBG adds an additional layer of support to what CBD is already doing. Hempworx including both in this formula rather than relying on CBD alone is a sign that the product was formulated thoughtfully rather than just slapping a CBD percentage on a standard lotion base.
Most generic hemp creams on the market contain CBD only. The inclusion of CBG in Hempworx Relief Cream is a meaningful difference and one of the reasons I recommend it over cheaper alternatives.
Emu Oil
This is the ingredient that surprises people the most, and it is arguably the most important one in terms of how well the cream actually works.
Emu oil has been used for centuries, originally by Indigenous Australians, for its remarkable ability to penetrate deeply into skin tissue. Unlike most cream bases that sit on the surface of the skin and work from the outside, emu oil drives active ingredients down into the deeper layers of tissue. It is one of the few natural oils that can penetrate the skin barrier effectively enough to reach muscle tissue beneath the surface.
In the context of a hemp cream, this means the CBD and CBG are not just sitting on your skin. They are being carried into the tissue where you actually need them. This is the fundamental difference between a hemp cream that feels good in the moment and one that delivers results you can actually feel hours later.
Emu oil itself also has a long track record as a natural moisturizer and skin conditioner, so as a bonus your skin benefits even while the active cannabinoids get to work.
The Cooling Effect
The moment Hempworx Relief Cream touches your skin, you feel it. There is an immediate cooling sensation that is genuinely satisfying, especially after physical activity or at the end of a long day. It is not an overwhelming chemical cold the way some sports creams feel. It is more targeted and clean than that.
That cooling sensation is not just a pleasant experience. It signals that the formula is active and working. Many people find the combination of the cooling effect with the gradual deeper action of the CBD, CBG, and emu oil to be genuinely different from anything else they have tried topically.
Who Reaches for Hempworx Relief Cream
In my years of selling this product I have seen it become a staple for a few different groups of people.
Active people who put real demands on their bodies use it consistently. Whether that is someone who works out regularly, someone who does physical work for a living, or an older adult who is simply more aware of how their muscles and joints feel at the end of the day, the cream fits naturally into a recovery routine. Post workout, post long shift, end of day. It becomes a ritual.
People who sit for long periods, particularly those who work at desks or travel frequently, often find it helps with the kind of general tightness and tension that builds up across the shoulders, neck, and lower back from hours in a chair. Applied before a long drive or after several hours at a computer, it provides real relief from that stiff, achy feeling that makes you feel older than you are.
Older adults have been some of the most enthusiastic users I have worked with over the years. As we age, our joints and muscles require more attention and more support. Hemp cream applied topically gives you a direct, targeted option that does not involve swallowing anything or worrying about interactions with other supplements. My customers in their sixties, seventies, and eighties who use this consistently tell me it has become something they genuinely depend on.
People who are new to hemp and CBD often find a topical cream is the most comfortable place to start. There is no serving size to figure out, no taste to adjust to, and no systemic effect to worry about. You put it on where you need it and see how it feels. It is a low barrier entry point to understanding what Hempworx products can do.
How I Use It
I want to be honest here because I think personal experience matters more than generic usage instructions.
I use Hempworx Relief Cream on my shoulders and neck after long days at my desk. I also keep it nearby after any kind of physical activity. The amount I use varies by area. For larger muscle groups I use a generous amount and take the time to really massage it in. For smaller areas I use less and focus on working it into the tissue rather than just spreading it on the surface.
I give it a few minutes before I put clothes on over the area. Not because it is particularly slow to absorb but because giving it time to settle means I get more benefit and less product transferred to fabric.
I also use it as a massage cream occasionally, which works beautifully. The texture is right for massage work and the combination of the cooling sensation and the cannabinoid activity makes it genuinely therapeutic in that context.
How Hempworx Relief Cream Compares to Generic Hemp Creams
The hemp cream market is full of products with impressive numbers on the label and underwhelming results in practice. Here is what I see as the real differences.
Most generic hemp creams use a standard lotion or cream base. These bases are designed for skincare, not for delivering active ingredients into muscle and joint tissue. Emu oil as a carrier is not common in these products because it is more expensive and less widely understood. The result is a product that feels nice on the skin but does not penetrate deeply enough to do meaningful work at the level you are targeting.
Many generic hemp creams also contain CBD isolate rather than broad spectrum CBD. Isolate is cheaper to produce and easier to standardize, but it lacks the supporting cannabinoids that contribute to the entourage effect. You are getting one cannabinoid instead of the full complement.
The CBG inclusion in Hempworx Relief Cream is something I have not commonly seen in the generic hemp cream category. It represents an additional formulation cost that a lot of budget brands are not willing to take on.
And then there is the brand question. Hempworx is now part of Immunotec, a company with 45 years of wellness research and manufacturing experience. The testing standards, the sourcing transparency, and the product consistency that comes with that institutional backing is not something a white label hemp cream can replicate.
The Numbers
Hempworx Relief Cream is $89 for a 50ml jar. At first glance that seems like a premium price and it is. But I would ask you to consider what you are comparing it to before deciding it is too expensive.
Compared to an appointment with a massage therapist, $89 is a single session versus something you can use daily for months. Compared to generic hemp creams that use inferior bases and isolate CBD, you are paying for a formulation that actually reaches the tissue you are targeting. And compared to doing nothing and just living with the discomfort that accumulates in an active body or a body that has been active for several decades, the math gets easier quickly.
