Why Made-to-Order Matters: How Fresh Craftsmanship Protects the Power of Prehemptive CBD Cream

My great-grandfather, Marius Roch, was working in his lab in France. He is at his desk, holding a pipette, focused on a dosage.

Today’s wellness market is filled with mass-produced CBD creams that sit on shelves for months, sometimes years, before reaching customers.

Prehemptive does the opposite.


Born from a 1933 French apothecary tradition, every jar of Prehemptive CBD Arnica Sports Cream is made-to-order, crafted in small batches, and formulated with 100% active botanicals. This preserves ingredient potency, maximizes therapeutic benefits, and keeps our products clean, fresh, and effective, precisely the way my grandfather designed them almost a century ago.


What “Made-to-Order” Really Means in Herbal Apothecary Tradition


Long before industrial production, apothecaries prepared healing formulas the way chefs prepare meals: fresh, intentional, and using the highest-quality raw materials.


My grandfather, a rural physician in the South of France, owned a two-hectare medicinal garden where Arnica, Rosemary, Thyme, Lavender, and Calendula grew abundantly. My siblings and I spent every summer with him:


Harvesting medicinal plants

Drying and storing herbs

Learning extraction techniques

Crafting ointments by hand

This is the heart of Prehemptive’s philosophy: freshness equals potency.


Why Freshness Directly Impacts Therapeutic Power


MY family apothecary handbook. Handwritten by a doctor and chemist. Not easy to read.
Marius Roch's Formula Handbook

Herbal medicine depends on active compounds that degrade over time. Science now confirms what apothecaries understood generations ago:

Arnica’s sesquiterpene lactones weaken with heat and oxidation.

Calendula’s flavonoids and triterpenoids lose strength when exposed to preservatives.

CBD’s antioxidant profile decreases with prolonged storage and chemical additives.

Fresh inputs = stronger therapeutic results.


Modern studies supporting this:





How Prehemptive Preserves a 1933 Apothecary Legacy in Every Jar


When we received my grandfather’s handwritten notebooks in 2015, we inherited his formulas, ratios, extraction notes, and philosophy. Prehemptive honors this heritage with a modern twist.


1. Crafted Only When You Order


No warehouses. No months of storage.

Each jar is prepared fresh, ensuring zero oxidation, maximum plant potency, and no preservatives required.


2. Small-Batch Blending for Purity


We mix and emulsify in micro-batches to maintain perfect consistency and quality.

No industrial machinery.

No harsh processing.


3. 100% Active Ingredients — No Fillers


The formula is simple, clean, and powerful:

Raw Hemp Cannabinoids (CBD) Extract

Arnica

Calendula

Ginger

Lavender

Organic Shea Butter


No parabens.

No preservatives.

No petroleum.

No artificial stabilizers.


4. A Century of Herbal Wisdom + Modern Phyto-Extraction


I modernized my grandfather’s arthritis and anti-inflammatory formula by adding hemp CBD phyto-extracts, amplifying relief for:


chronic pain

muscle soreness

inflammation

joint stiffness

post-workout recovery


This creates a dual-era formula: 1933 herbal medicine → updated for 2025 CBD science.


What Makes Prehemptive CBD Sports Cream More Effective?

Organic Shea Butter Delivery System


Solid at room temperature, melts at 105°F.

This ensures:

deep absorption

fast penetration

optimized delivery of active botanicals

Multi-Botanical Synergy


CBD + Arnica + Calendula + Ginger + Lavender brings:


anti-inflammatory action

improved circulation

muscle relaxation

skin repair benefits

“Less, More Often” Application Philosophy

A thin layer applied twice is more effective than one thick application.

This method is inherited from traditional apothecary protocols.


Suggested Use


Apply a thin coating to the affected area and massage until absorbed.

For acute or chronic pain, apply a second layer immediately.

The cream feels slightly oily at first, then absorbs fully, leaving skin smooth.


Shelf Life

Store in a cool, dark place.

If melted, refrigerate briefly; it will re-solidify normally.


Shelf life: 12 months when stored properly.
