Why Our THC-Free CBD Sports Cream Really Works — A Founder’s Story + Everyday Recovery

I made our Recharge CBD Sports Cream because I wanted something simple that actually helps you feel ready for the day — whether that’s walking the dog, nine holes, yard work, or getting back to your routine after a big weekend (Start with our CBD Education hub if you want the big picture). I’m a Colorado founder who’s 45, active, and I use this cream every day. The earliest versions were rough (we hand-filled those first sticks after a filling machine disaster), but we kept improving until it was the smooth, fast-absorbing, THC-Free cream we’re proud of today.

Why I Made This Cream (And How We Got It Right)

It started on the golf course. Long days left me feeling tight and tired, and I wanted a clean, trustworthy topical I could keep using every day. Our first attempt was a hands-free stick. It… did not go smoothly. We tried to run the melted formula through a bottling machine, and it solidified mid-stream. Total train wreck. So we hand-filled every unit and kept iterating.

“We hand-filled the early batches until we got it right. No shortcuts — just a better cream, step by step.”
Mark, Founder

What won out is the cream you see here: smooth glide, absorbs quickly, botanical scent (fresh, not overpowering), and made to support everyday comfort — so you can keep moving. It’s now our top retail seller at places like Breathe Massage & Fitness (Denver), MTN Acupuncture (near Vail), West Hawaii Acupuncture (Waimea), and more.

What “THC-Free, Broad-Spectrum” Means

Broad-spectrum hemp extract contains a range of naturally occurring plant compounds, but without THC. That choice matters to us. I’m personally sensitive to THC, and many people just want a topical they can use with total confidence.

  • THC-Free by choice: No psychoactive effects; approachable for first-timers and cautious users.
  • Third-party tested in Denver: We verify cannabinoid content and screen for things you don’t want — heavy metals, residual solvents, pesticides, and microbes.
  • U.S.-grown hemp: Quality and traceability we can stand behind.

Ingredients That Matter (And Why)

We keep it simple and botanical. The hero trio is:

  • Broad-spectrum hemp extract (CBD): Our foundation for everyday recovery support.
  • Menthol: A classic cooling ingredient that feels refreshing without overwhelming.
  • Camphor: Complements menthol for that familiar, get-moving sensation.

Rounded out with carefully selected botanicals, including organic lavender, organic rosemary, organic peppermint, organic wintergreen, organic sweet marjoram, and organic aloe leaf juice. Together, they create a fresh, clean scent and a smooth feel on skin — not greasy, not sticky.

How to Use a CBD Sports Cream

Use it where you feel tightness or fatigue — lower back, calves, shoulders, forearms — before activity, after activity, or whenever you want everyday comfort.

  • Before activity: Apply a thin layer to areas you tend to notice after moving.
  • After activity: Massage in until absorbed. You can reapply as needed.
  • Daily routine: Many people use it morning and evening as part of their regular self-care.

Tip: Start with a small amount. You can always add more.

Who It’s For: Weekend Warriors to Retirees

This CBD recovery cream was built for real life. Golfers. Gardeners. Walkers. DIY-ers. People getting back into a routine. It’s also an easy starting point if you’re new to CBD and prefer a topical first. No measuring. No THC. Just a clean botanical cream you can feel good about using.

How Fast You Might Notice It

  • Topicals: Many people say they notice a fresh, soothing sensation within minutes of application.

As with anything botanical, consistency is key. The real shift comes from regular use over days and weeks as part of your routine.
