I’ll start with a small confession.
You might assume that as the founder of Wild Fox Provisions, I use our hemp products religiously — every ache, every sore muscle, every stiff joint. The truth is… I don’t. Like most people, I tend to push through discomfort, tell myself I’ll stretch it out, or simply forget that I have genuinely effective products sitting right within reach.
And then, every once in a while, I actually remember to use our topical salve.
I rub it into a sore shoulder, a tight lower back, sore joint — and I’m reminded, almost immediately, why we make these products in the first place. It works. Simply, reliably, and without fuss. That moment of relief is always followed by the same thought: Why don’t I do this more often?
Simple, Plant-Based Support That Fits Real Life
At Wild Fox Provisions, we believe the best wellness products are built from the ground up — thoughtfully grown, carefully formulated, and designed to support the body in everyday ways. Our hemp-infused topicals aren’t meant to be precious or overcomplicated. They’re meant to be used.
These products don’t aim to mask discomfort or overwhelm the body. Instead, they work in harmony with it, combining time-tested botanical ingredients with the proven benefits of hemp to support muscles, joints, and skin.
The Benefits of Hemp in Topical Form
When applied to the skin, hemp-derived cannabinoids interact with receptors in the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike ingestible products, hemp topicals are designed for localized support.
This makes them ideal for addressing specific areas of discomfort — sore muscles, stiff joints, overworked hands — without systemic effects. The benefits of hemp topicals include targeted comfort, skin nourishment, and an easy way to support the body without disrupting daily routines.
Wild Fox Provisions uses full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids, preserving a broad range of naturally occurring plant compounds that work together synergistically.
Ingredient Spotlight: What’s Inside — and Why It Matters
Every ingredient in our topicals is selected with intention. These aren’t filler ingredients — each one plays a role in how the product feels, absorbs, and supports the body.
Organic Beeswax
Organic beeswax helps seal in moisture while still allowing the skin to breathe. It creates a natural protective layer that shields the skin from environmental stressors without clogging pores. Beeswax also gives our salves their structure, making them easy to apply and long-lasting.
Organic Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is deeply moisturizing and rich in fatty acids that support the skin’s natural barrier. It helps soften dry skin while allowing other beneficial ingredients to absorb more effectively. Coconut oil also contributes to the smooth, spreadable texture of our topicals.
Organic Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter is prized for its dense concentration of antioxidants and fatty acids. It supports skin elasticity, provides long-lasting hydration, and helps soothe dry or stressed areas. In our formulas, cocoa butter adds both richness and durability.
Organic Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D, and E, along with essential fatty acids that support skin repair and resilience. It absorbs easily, delivering nourishment without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it especially beneficial for sensitive or mature skin.
Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids
Full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids are the foundation of our topicals. These compounds support localized comfort by interacting with the body at the skin level. By using full-spectrum extract rather than isolated compounds, we preserve the plant’s natural complexity.
Organic Botanical Extracts
Our formulas are rounded out with organic botanical extracts such as lavender, mint, cedar, and frankincense. These plants are valued for their calming aromas and skin-supportive properties, enhancing both the functional benefits and the overall sensory experience.
Everyday Uses for Wild Fox Provisions Topicals
Hemp topicals are easy to integrate into daily life:
Muscle recovery: Apply after physical work, exercise, or long days on your feet
Joint support: Massage into knees, hands, elbows, or hips
Skin hydration: Use as a nourishing moisturizer for dry or weathered skin
Daily rituals: Incorporate into morning or evening routines as intentional self-care
Because they’re designed for external use only, topicals can be applied exactly where support is needed.
How to Use Our Topicals
Apply a generous amount to clean, dry skin and massage until absorbed. Most people use topicals one to two times per day, or as needed.
Consistency matters. Like many plant-based products, the benefits of hemp topicals often become more noticeable with regular use over time.
Wellness That’s Meant to Be Used
Wild Fox Provisions topicals bring together high-quality organic ingredients, regenerative farming practices, and the benefits of hemp in a way that’s practical, effective, and approachable.
They’re not meant to sit on a shelf — even though, admittedly, I sometimes let them. They’re meant to be used, relied on, and returned to again and again.
Because sometimes the best reminder of what works is simply remembering to reach for it.
