The Science Behind the Highest Quality Topicals: Why Entourus CBD Salves Are Superior

April 28, 2025 1 min read

Entourus was founded with one goal: to create a gold standard for CBD topicals, setting a new benchmark for the category based on years of cutting-edge research and development. Our first step on that path was to ask ourselves how to choose the best CBD cream—what factors make a CBD salve or other topical truly the future of cannabis medicine?

First, as a company we significantly invested in science. Research on cannabis and hemp is an emerging field, and we wanted to understand exactly how to maximize the benefits of CBD in combination with other powerful plant compounds, and the worlds most powerful terpene blends. The chemistry behind our premium salves is designed to penetrate and absorb deeply into the dermal layers of the skin. After all, for most wondering what to look for in a CBD topical or how to use CBD muscle cream, what they really want is to deliver the highest-quality CBD where it’s needed most in the body.
