Papa & Barkley's makes a [pain patch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-calm-by-barrire) that offers a mess-free alternative to topical lotions, oils and creams. The 'Releaf Patch' delivers [transdermal cannabis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-up) to the body to provide up to 12 hours of continual relief.

The Releaf Patch is offered with different ratios of [CBD and THC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hemp-doctor), including 3:1, 1:1 and 1:3 based on one's pain relief preferences. This is what the brand calls its 'Right Ratio' concept, which means that "each product needs a specific profile of cannabinoids and terpenes that work in concert."

Some of the natural ingredients that can be found in products from Papa & Barkley include beeswax, Vitamin E, as well as analgesic eucalyptus, antibacterial and antiviral tea tree, soothing lavender and stimulating peppermint.
