Market Insights Snapshot
Liquid Flower concentrated 99.45% of August 2026 sales in Topical, with Tincture & Sublingual at 0.55%, while Topical grew 60.51% year over year but slipped 11.69% month over month. Tincture & Sublingual fell 93.24% year over year and 11.98% month over month, and the brand’s average price declined 4.95% while Topical priced at $29.11. In California Topical, the brand sat at rank 4, indicating category depth over breadth; the pattern implies reliance on Topical momentum for overall growth despite August pullback and negligible contribution from Tincture & Sublingual.
The mix shift toward a single category aligns with a 42.61% brand-level year-over-year gain alongside a 28.04% two-year increase, but the 11.69% month-over-month contraction in Topical suggests sensitivity to short-term seasonal or promo cycles relative to a rank position of 4. With Tincture & Sublingual at 0.55% share and a 93.24% year-over-year decline versus a 60.51% Topical increase, the price bifurcation at $54.37 vs. $29.11 points to limited elasticity headroom outside Topical. The implication is a positioning anchored in California Topical where maintaining top-5 visibility can sustain year-over-year growth, while diversification efforts will likely require price or format recalibration given double-digit month-over-month declines in both categories.
Competitive Landscape
Liquid Flower ranks #4 in CA Topical in August 2026, improving 2 positions from #6 year over year while holding steady at #4 since May–August 2026, which indicates a stable foothold near the category’s upper tier; meanwhile, Papa & Barkley stayed at #1 from August 2025 to August 2026 despite a -6.5% YoY sales change, and Buddies maintained #3 with a +30.4% YoY sales increase, outpacing Liquid Flower’s relative climb in velocity, while Mary's Medicinals held #2 as Sweet ReLeaf (CA) slipped from #4 to #5 with a -4.7% YoY decline; taken together, Liquid Flower’s rise from #6 to #4 and plateau at a peak rank of #4 imply a consolidation phase where further share gains likely require displacing a top-3 incumbent rather than relying on category churn.
Notable Products
Deep Muscle Relief & Detox Mineral Bath Soak (300mg) posted the largest movement in August 2026 with a 70.0% month-over-month surge into rank 7, while Deep Relief Balm (40mg CBD, 40mg CBDa, 400mg THC, 400mg THCa, 59ml, 2oz) fell 47.4% to rank 3, signaling a shift from legacy balms toward recovery-oriented formats. At the top, Deep Relief Topical (38mg THC, 1mg CBG, 4.5mg CBD, 5ml) slid 10.0% yet held rank 1, whereas Deep Relief Stick (17mg CBD,93mg THCa, 88mg THC, 15ml) climbed 24.1% at rank 2, indicating consumer trade-up toward portable application despite pressure on the flagship. Six of the top eight are Topical SKUs with two mineral bath soaks moving in opposite directions (-26.5% at rank 6 vs. +70.0% at rank 7), and only one product in the set carries over $12,000 in August 2026 sales, implying concentration at the top with volatility in the mid-pack. The product mix points to Liquid Flower leaning into fast-acting relief and convenience formats while reevaluating heavier balm and soak inventory to reduce rank churn.

Data for this report comes from real-time sales reporting by participating cannabis retailers via their point-of-sale systems, which are linked up with Headset’s business intelligence software. Headset’s data is very reliable, as it comes digitally direct from our partner retailers. However, the potential does exist for misreporting in the instance of duplicates, incorrectly classified products, inaccurate entry of products into point-of-sale systems, or even simple human error at the point of purchase. Thus, there is a slight margin of error to consider. Brands listed on this page are ranked in the top twenty within the market and product category by total retail sales volume.
