Topicals & Oils Manufacturing

The manufacturing line behind Canada's #1 cannabis topical.

Lupos manufactures cannabis topicals and oils — creams, bath bombs, balms, salves, roll-ons and tincture oils — as a contract, white-label and private-label producer, on the same Markham line that makes PROOFLY, Canada's #1 cannabis topical and winner of KIND's Best Pain Relief Topical award. Topicals start at 200 kg and tinctures at 90 kg, with 6–8 week standard turnaround and a 2-week rush option.

What we make

Creams, bath bombs, balms, salves, roll-ons and tincture oils, in THC-free and full-spectrum formats. Choose an in-house ready-to-launch formula for the fastest path to shelf, or have our formulation team re-engineer your existing product. Every program includes a pilot batch you approve before scale-up — your sign-off on texture, scent, colour and feel, not just potency.

An emulsion is a truce

A cream is oil and water persuaded to coexist — and cannabinoids are oils, so the active loads entirely into one side of that truce. The formulation challenge is keeping potency uniform through a thick emulsion so the first scoop of the jar carries the same dose as the last, across the product's whole shelf life. The legal bands don't bend for viscosity: under section 97 of the Cannabis Regulations, a topical must hold 85–115% of its labelled THC/CBD (±15%), within a cap of 1,000 mg THC per container. We solve it through formulation R&D and the analytical bench, then confirm it — alongside texture, scent and colour — on the pilot batch you approve before scale-up.

No claims allowed — so the product has to earn it

Health-benefit claims are prohibited on cannabis topical labels in Canada. That changes what quality means: a topical can't promise anything, so it has to perform — texture, scent, absorption, and effect good enough that the customer comes back without being told to. Repurchase is the only honest metric in this category — so we build to it. It's the standard behind PROOFLY, our own brand and Canada's #1 cannabis topical, made on this same line.

Who we work with

Brands without a licence — Lupos is a licensed processor, so your topical line can launch under our licence as a white-label or private-label program. Licensed Producers adding topicals without building a compounding suite. Established brands whose existing formula needs re-engineering for Canadian compliance or better margins, and wellness brands entering cannabis for the first time with a partner that has put 40+ SKUs on regulated shelves.

Quality and compliance

GPP-licensed under the Cannabis Act, euGMP-ready cleanrooms, 6 PhDs on staff — batch records and COAs ready for regulated review.
