Description
Three thousand milligrams of broad spectrum extract in 1.7 ounces, with menthol at 4 percent. That makes this CBD cream with menthol the most concentrated topical in the catalogue at roughly 62 mg of cannabidiol per gram, and the thinnest, so it spreads much further than the jarred cream does. Both potency figures are printed, total milligrams and milligrams per gram, because a 3,000 mg tube and a 3,000 mg tub are not the same product.
A cbd cream with menthol states concentration two ways
Total milligrams tell you what you paid for. Milligrams per gram tell you what is on your hands. Nobody in this category prints the second one, and it is the one that decides whether a tube is strong.

What the menthol is, and what we will not say about it
Menthol is a cosmetic ingredient and we describe it as nothing more than that. At 4 percent it is a high loading and the cold is immediate and obvious, which is the sensation people buy this kind of product for and which has nothing to do with the cannabidiol in it. Camphor, capsaicin and arnica turn up in other formulas in the topical range and are declared on those labels in the same way. A CBD cream with menthol is two separate things in one tube, and both are named with their amounts rather than blended into a story.
Why a thin cbd cream with menthol spreads further
A thick jarred cream sits where it is put. A thin one spreads, so a fingertip covers more area at a lower amount of cannabinoid per square inch. With a CBD cream with menthol at 62 mg per gram, a fingertip of roughly half a gram carries about 31 mg, and spread over a whole shoulder that is a thin film. The 1.7 ounce tube is therefore around a hundred applications. That arithmetic is the reason concentration appears on every listing in this range alongside the total.
Why this is the most concentrated topical here
Three thousand milligrams in 48 grams is about 62 mg of cannabinoid per gram, which is roughly four times the concentration of the 1,000 mg jarred cream and fifteen times the eight ounce lotion. Nothing else in the range is loaded that heavily. The reason it works at all is the thinness: a high cannabinoid load in a thick emulsion goes gritty, and a CBD cream with menthol built on a lower oil phase holds the extract without that. Eighty five dollars across 3,000 mg is under three cents a milligram, printed under the price as usual.
What the base is made of
A cream is an emulsion, which means a water phase, an oil phase and a preservative system to stop the water phase growing anything. Ours is listed in full rather than hidden behind the word natural. The thinness comes from a lower oil phase rather than from alcohol, so it does not sting. Menthol crystals are dissolved into the oil phase, which is why the tube should not be left somewhere hot: menthol sublimes and a tube stored in a car window will smell of it and read lower on assay.
Testing, and what the published work measures
Every batch of this CBD cream with menthol is assayed by an independent laboratory for cannabinoid content, heavy metals, pesticides and microbials, with the microbial panel being the realistic failure mode on a water containing cosmetic. Under potency batches are withdrawn and the failing sheet stays published, as this note explains.
On the literature: human studies of cannabidiol applied to skin are few and usually describe a gel or cream at a stated milligram per gram strength on a defined area, with a frequently cited trial using a transdermal gel at 250 mg per 100 mL, and most mechanistic work sits in rodent models or cell culture. Those are descriptions of published research rather than claims about this tube, and the papers are indexed at PubMed.
External use only, keep it away from eyes, and patch test a small area first. The certificate for the current batch is linked on this page.
