Rare Cannabinoid Company’s Rapid Relief Gel combines CBG, CBD, hemp-derived cannabinoids, and cooling botanicals as consumers increasingly explore cannabinoid topicals beyond traditional CBD creams.
For many years, CBD dominated the hemp wellness conversation. Topicals, muscle creams, recovery balms, and skincare products flooded the market as consumers searched for new cannabinoid experiences beyond traditional cannabis formats.
Now, another cannabinoid is beginning to attract attention: CBG, short for cannabigerol.
Once largely unknown outside cannabinoid research circles, CBG has quickly become one of the most discussed compounds in hemp wellness as brands and consumers increasingly explore cannabinoid blends, topical formulations, and products designed around specific experiences rather than THC or CBD alone.
That growing interest has helped fuel products like Rare Cannabinoid Company’s Rapid Relief Gel and CBG oil products, a cannabinoid topical that combines CBG, CBD, hemp-derived cannabinoids, and cooling botanical ingredients in a fast-absorbing formula designed for topical comfort and everyday wellness routines.
Why Interest in CBG Has Grown So Quickly
Just a few years ago, most hemp consumers had never heard of CBG. Now, CBG appears in oils, gummies, capsules, topicals, and wellness-focused cannabinoid products across the hemp industry. Interest in cannabigerol has grown as researchers continue exploring how cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system and how different cannabinoid combinations may produce different consumer experiences.
Known by many researchers as the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is the precursor from which many other cannabinoids naturally develop in hemp plants. Unlike CBD, however, CBG is typically found only in very small amounts in most cannabis strains, making it more difficult — and often more expensive — to produce in meaningful concentrations.
That rarity has helped fuel growing interest in specialized CBG products among consumers looking to explore cannabinoids beyond CBD alone.
Early cannabinoid research has explored how CBG may interact with pathways associated with inflammation, topical sensation, and cannabinoid signaling, though research into rare cannabinoids remains ongoing and more human studies are still needed. Research published in 2017 examining cannabinoid pharmacology and receptor activity has helped fuel broader scientific interest in compounds like CBG.
More recent reviews of existing CBG research have also highlighted growing scientific curiosity surrounding the cannabinoid and its potential applications within broader cannabinoid formulations.
Researchers have additionally continued studying how cannabinoids may behave differently when combined rather than isolated individually. Interest in the so-called “entourage effect” and cannabinoid synergy has grown following research into how cannabinoids and terpenes may interact together.
Additional research exploring cannabinoid receptor interactions and topical cannabinoid applications has also contributed to growing interest in targeted cannabinoid formulations.
That growing interest is part of why Rare Cannabinoid Company created Rapid Relief Gel, a cannabinoid topical formulated around high levels of cannabigerol alongside complementary cannabinoids and botanical ingredients.
The Hawaii-born cannabinoid company has become known for introducing specialized cannabinoid blends featuring compounds like THCV, CBC, CBDV, and CBG to hemp consumers interested in exploring cannabinoids beyond traditional CBD products.
Today, Rapid Relief Gel stands out as one of the company’s more cannabinoid-forward topical formulations.
What Sets Rapid Relief Gel Apart From Standard CBD Topicals
Many hemp topicals contain relatively small amounts of cannabinoids overall. Others rely almost entirely on CBD isolate mixed into a standard lotion base.
Rapid Relief Gel was designed differently. The lightweight cooling gel contains:
- 1000mg CBG
- 1000mg CBD
- 400mg hemp-derived cannabinoids from federally compliant Delta-9 sources
Together, these cannabinoids deliver 2400mg total cannabinoids per bottle, potency levels more commonly associated with premium dispensary products and specialized THC lotion formulas.
The product remains federally compliant because it contains less than 0.3% hemp-derived Delta-9-THC by dry weight.
Rather than focusing on intoxicating effects, Rare Cannabinoid Company formulated the gel around localized application, cooling sensation, and everyday topical wellness routines.
Because the cannabinoids are applied topically instead of consumed orally or inhaled, the formula is designed for targeted topical use rather than the psychoactive experience people commonly associate with cannabis edibles or smoking.
This has helped cannabinoid topicals become increasingly popular among active adults, gym-goers, travelers, and consumers interested in adding cannabinoids into post-workout or everyday wellness routines.
Individual customer experiences vary, and testimonials should not be interpreted as medical claims.
“This product works great to relieve soreness in my shoulders and back. Honestly stronger than some products I’ve bought at dispensaries. I’ve already reordered it three times,” verified customer Joseph S. wrote in a product review.
Why Topical Cannabinoids Are Becoming More Popular
The hemp topical market has expanded significantly in recent years. One major reason is that topical cannabinoids offer a very different experience from edible or inhaled cannabinoids.
Instead of producing whole-body effects, topicals are designed for localized application directly where consumers choose to apply them. Many users prefer this targeted approach as part of post-workout, massage, skincare, or wellness-focused routines.
Cooling cannabinoid gels have become especially popular among active consumers because they combine cannabinoids with ingredients commonly found in sports and wellness products. According to Rare Cannabinoid Company, Rapid Relief Gel was specifically designed to fit easily into everyday wellness routines.
“Our Rapid Relief Gel was designed to deliver cooling comfort without the heavy, greasy texture many traditional creams leave behind,” said a company spokesperson. The company says the lightweight formula absorbs quickly, does not leave any residue, and has a mild refreshing scent suitable for daytime or nighttime use.
Some users also refrigerate the bottle before application for an enhanced cooling sensation.
A Cannabinoid Topical Built Around Botanical Ingredients
While cannabinoids form the foundation of Rapid Relief Gel, one of the product’s distinguishing features is its supporting ingredient blend. Both Rapid Relief Gel and the company’s Hawaiian Choice CBD Topical Gel combine cannabinoids with a range of botanical and skincare-focused ingredients commonly found in premium wellness and sports products.
Rather than relying on a simple lotion base, Rare Cannabinoid Company formulated both topicals around ingredients selected for cooling sensation, skin feel, topical comfort, and fast absorption.
Arnica
Arnica has long been included in wellness and topical products focused on massage, post-activity routines, and botanical skincare applications.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM is a sulfur-containing compound commonly found in wellness supplements and topical products designed around movement-focused routines and everyday use.
Menthol
Menthol delivers the cooling sensation many consumers associate with sports gels and topical wellness products.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contributes to the gel’s lightweight feel while helping support hydration and skin comfort.
Gotu Kola
Gotu kola is a botanical ingredient commonly used in wellness and skincare products for its soothing and revitalizing properties.
Green tea extract is often included in skincare and wellness products because of its antioxidant content.
Dandelion Root Extract
Dandelion root has a long history in herbal wellness traditions and contributes to the formula’s broader botanical profile.
Together, these ingredients help Rapid Relief Gel feel more like a premium wellness topical than a traditional hemp lotion. Individual customer experiences vary, and testimonials should not be interpreted as medical claims.

Consumers Are Exploring Cannabinoids Beyond CBD Alone
CBD remains one of the most recognized cannabinoids in the hemp industry. But many experienced consumers are increasingly exploring formulations that include cannabinoids beyond CBD alone.
That trend has helped drive growing interest in compounds like CBG, CBC, THCV, CBDV, and CBN.
Consumers are becoming more interested in how different cannabinoid combinations may align with different experiences and wellness routines.
Some cannabinoids are commonly associated by consumers with:
- energy and focus
- topical comfort
- relaxation-oriented experiences
- nighttime routines
- wellness-focused routines
- recovery-oriented products
Rare Cannabinoid Company has built much of its product line around these specialized cannabinoid combinations.
Its offerings include:
- THCV formulas focused on energy and focus
- CBC-based Mood products designed around uplifting cannabinoid blends
- CBN products intended for nighttime routines
- CBD formulas centered around calm and balance
- CBG products designed for topical comfort and cannabinoid-focused wellness routines
This targeted approach has helped rare cannabinoids become one of the fastest-growing categories within hemp wellness.
How Some Consumers Incorporate CBG Into Daily Wellness Routines
While topicals offer localized application, some consumers prefer combining them with ingestible cannabinoids as part of broader wellness routines.
Rare Cannabinoid Company also offers CBG Gummies, which combine 30mg CBG with 10mg CBD per gummy. Another version includes 2.5mg hemp-derived Delta-9-THC per gummy.
The company says many customers use topical and edible cannabinoids together depending on their routines and personal preferences.
Because CBG itself is generally considered non-intoxicating, the topical gel and CBG Gummies without added THC are especially popular among consumers looking to explore cannabinoid products without strong psychoactive effects.
Rare Cannabinoids Are Reshaping the Hemp Industry
For years, the hemp industry centered almost entirely around CBD while the cannabis industry focused heavily on THC. Now, consumers are increasingly recognizing that hemp contains dozens of naturally occurring cannabinoids — many with distinct properties and growing consumer interest.
That shift is helping reshape the cannabinoid market. Instead of generic CBD products, more companies are developing targeted cannabinoid blends designed around specific experiences, formulations, and consumer preferences.
Rare Cannabinoid Company has positioned itself around this trend by focusing heavily on cannabinoid education and specialized formulations. As awareness of cannabinoids like CBG continues growing, many consumers are becoming increasingly interested in cannabinoid combinations rather than products centered entirely around CBD or THC alone.
Rapid Relief Gel reflects that broader shift by combining cannabinoids with cooling botanicals and fast-absorbing topical ingredients in one cannabinoid-forward formula.
