CBD Skeptic? Discover Undeniable Relief

Meet Chronic: The Roll-On That Makes People Pause Mid-Sentence

There’s a very specific moment we’ve come to recognize.

Someone rolls Chronic onto their neck or shoulder, keeps talking… then slowly stops. Blinks. Moves their arm around like they’re fact-checking reality.

“…wait.”

And honestly, same.

Chronic is hands down our most miraculous product.
One of our favorite pastimes is witnessing people use Chronic for the first time and seeing the absolute shock & awe on their faces when the results exceed their expectations in a matter of minutes.

Why Chronic Is the Perfect CBD Starting Point

If you’ve been CBD-curious, Chronic is your low-pressure introduction.

Because here’s the key:

• You use it topically

• It works locally, right where you apply it

• It does not cross the blood-brain barrier

Let’s translate that last one into normal human language:

Your brain has a built-in security system (the blood-brain barrier) that decides what gets access. Chronic doesn’t go there. It stays local, working in the area you apply it, not altering your mental state.

So if your hesitation has been something like:

“I don’t want to feel weird/tired/high”

You won’t! You’ll just feel like your shoulder isn’t ruining your day anymore😃

Why People Reach for It

We’ll say this responsibly (because we have to), but also honestly:

People tend to reach for Chronic when they’re dealing with things like:

• Everyday tension (head, neck, shoulders, jaw… you know the spots)

• Post-workout soreness

• Stiff joints or limited mobility

• General inflammation from, well… being a human

• Desk posture consequences

• Menstrual cramps

• Skin irritations (rashes, hives, sunburns)

• Sinus pressure (hello, change of seasons😵‍💫)

We’re not saying it fixes everything, but we will say it tends to become the go-to real fast. Like, one in the purse, one in the gym bag, one in the nightstand, and one to give away to a stranger complaining of knee pain because you KNOW it will help them.

The Formula: Where CBD Meets a Very Strategic Supporting Cast

Chronic works the way it does because it’s not just one hero ingredient, it’s a team effort🤝

• High-potency CBD

• A proprietary blend of 7 therapeutic-grade essential oils

• A fast-absorbing MCT (fractionated coconut oil) base

The combination of a high concentration of CBD plus our proprietary blend of 7 therapeutic essential oils creates an incredibly effective natural solution for localized inflammation and tension. Each essential oil is purposefully selected for its unique ability to target pain and inflammation while enhancing the action and effectiveness of CBD.

The VIPs of Chronic:

CBD (the anchor)

CBD is widely studied for its interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system, the powerhouse regulatory system of the body which plays a role in MANY physiological processes including regulating inflammation and discomfort. In topical form, it works locally, making it ideal for targeted areas.

Lavender

Lavender isn’t just relaxing, it’s been shown to have anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing effects, including reducing swelling responses in topical applications.

Also yes, it smells amazing. No one is mad about that.

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is commonly used in topical formulations for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic-associated properties, and is a staple in many over-the-counter muscle and joint products.

There’s a reason you’ve seen it before – because it works!

Peppermint

Peppermint (specifically menthol) creates that cooling, tingling sensation that can help shift your perception of discomfort and provide a refreshing, almost immediate effect on the skin.

For the person who’s like: “I only use products that make me feel something immediately.”

Juniper

Juniper is traditionally used in topical applications for skin purification and supporting the body’s response to inflammation and fluid buildup, making it a quiet overachiever in blends like this.

Chamomile

Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-calming properties, often used to soothe irritation and sensitivity.

She’s the friend who says “it’s okay” and somehow it is.

Thyme

Thyme has been associated with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity, and is often used in topical applications to support skin health and circulation.

Rosemary

Rosemary is commonly used in topical blends for its stimulating and circulation-supporting properties, and has been studied alongside other oils for its role in supporting joint comfort.

MCL Oil (why it absorbs so quickly)

Chronic uses MCT oil (fractionated coconut oil) as its base, which plays a bigger role than you might think.

• MCT oil helps carry active ingredients into the skin

• It works well with essential oils to enhance absorption

• It leaves skin feeling nourished—not greasy

Because your skin barrier is lipid-rich (fat-loving), oil-based formulas absorb more efficiently. Pair that with essential oils, which naturally enhance penetration, and you get a formula that gets to work quickly.

Quick Note on Aromatherapy (Because We Know You’re Thinking It)

Do these oils also smell incredible? Yes.

Will you receive aromatherapy benefits from smelling Chronic? Yup.

Will people occasionally use Chronic as a subtle perfume? Also yes.

So while your brain is like “wow, spa vibes,” your muscles are like: “Finally, relief.”

A Product Born in Real Life (Not a Lab Fantasy)

Chronic wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom, it was built in the real world.

Our founder, Brittany Carbone, created this formula while working as a personal trainer at Equinox on Long Island. She had something incredibly valuable at her fingertips:
real people with real bodies and real issues.

She used her training clients (willingly, we promise) as test subjects to refine and perfect Chronic (among TONIC’s other products) – tweaking it until it was so effective she decided to start a new career path and TONIC was born 🙂

It became something she could use to support clients dealing with:

• Mobility limitations

• Joint discomfort

• Muscle tightness

And here we are, 9 years later, and people are still *obsessed* with Chronic.

So… What Should You Expect?

We won’t overpromise. That’s not our style.

But we will say this:

If you’re new to CBD and want something:

• approachable

• fast-acting

• easy to use

• and *actually works*

Chronic is a very good place to start.

Just be prepared for that moment where you pause, look at the spot you applied it to, and quietly reconsider everything you thought you knew.
