The Science of Soothe: Why Our Calming Crème Works in 2 Minutes
Healing, One Hemp Plant at a Time
At Fingerboard Farm, my mission has always been simple: to heal the earth and humankind, one hemp plant at a time. But healing isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s grounded in real science.
One of the most common questions I get is how our Calming Crème can offer noticeable relief in as little as two minutes. It may sound like magic, but the answer lies in something far more powerful: absorption science.
Breaking the Barrier
According to research published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the Science of Compounded Topical Pain Creams, the effectiveness of any topical product depends on how well it navigates the skin’s natural defense system.
At the center of this is the stratum corneum—the outermost layer of skin. This layer is designed to protect us, which means many over‑the‑counter creams simply sit on top of it. That’s why some products feel greasy, take forever to work, or never quite deliver relief at all.
The NIH research highlights a crucial insight: the vehicle matters just as much as the active ingredients. Factors such as molecular weight, formulation design, and skin hydration determine how quickly and how deeply relief can travel.
The Fingerboard Difference
Our Calming Crème was formulated with this exact science in mind.
We didn’t just add cannabinoids to a lotion and hope for the best. We engineered a delivery vehicle designed specifically for rapid dermal absorption. This allows the formula to penetrate the outer skin barrier efficiently and begin working almost immediately.
Because the crème is absorbed directly through the skin, it bypasses the digestive system entirely—unlike edibles—and targets inflammation right at the source. That’s what creates that familiar “ahhh” moment in under two minutes.
Nature Meets Formulation Science
This isn’t magic.
It’s the result of combining nature’s most potent cannabinoids with rigorous formulation science—designed intentionally, tested thoughtfully, and crafted to work with your body, not against it.
Healing can be felt. And when science and nature align, it can be felt fast.
