1. Lab Report
When it comes to CBD products, third-party lab testing is currently the only way to tell the good from the bad. “Third-party lab testing” refers to when a CBD firm sends their product to an independent lab to be tested for CBD concentration and pesticide residue. Third-party testing assists hemp CBD companies in ensuring the quality of their goods, as well as providing consumers with piece of mind.
2. Organic farming
CBD Oil from organic farming is good for the environment and even better for your body. Most people use the health supplement CBD to treat a variety of reasons. In finished products, heavy metals, molds, insecticides, and chemical residues have all been discovered. This is due to the fact that hemp is a phytoremediator. When poisons and heavy metals are present in the soil, it pulls them up and grows quickly.
3. Reviews

4. Spectrum of the CBD
The hemp plant has more to offer then CBD (Cannabidiol). There are over 100 compounds inside hemp and more are getting detected by research. Cannabinoids, including CBD and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), are responsible for the therapeutic and psychoactive effects of hemp products. Terpenes are affecting the plant’s fragrance (e.g. smell citrusy or calming effect of lavender), they also have therapeutic benefits. Flavonoids are found in all plants and in hemp studies shows that they have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and neuroprotective properties.
- Full spectrum CBD: includes all compounds, including THC. So you get all the benefits of the whole hemp plant.
- Broad-spectrum CBD: removes THC and includes the rest.
- CBD isolate: removes everything except CBD. Usually used to be re-used in other products.
5. Extraction process
There are three major ways for extracting CBD. Currently CO2 extraction method is the best one.
- Carrier oil extraction: The plant material is heated to a specific temperature to activate the compounds within the plant material.
The cannabinoids are drawn out of the plant material and into the carrier oil using this method. Although this is a low-cost CBD extraction process, it is ineffective since it produces minimal quantities of active cannabinoids. - Alcohol extraction:Because ethanol is only a by-product of fermented plant material, it is deemed safe to consume. This extraction process uses food-grade ethanol that is passed through the plant matter several times to guarantee maximal extraction.
- Carbon dioxide extraction: CBD extraction with carbon dioxide (CO2) is now the most popular method. It is regarded as the industry standard and the safest method of extracting CBD from cannabis. The cannabinoids are isolated from the liquid CO2 after pesticides, bacteria, and insects have been eliminated. After they have been removed from the CO2, it can be reused, making it the most cost-effective and complete extraction procedure available. As a result, you get a high-quality, clean oil with no harmful by-products. Unfortunately, CO2 extraction is expensive, with an extractor costing over CHF 100’000. The technique likewise produces little waste, with the added benefit of being able to recycle the carbon dioxide.
6. QR-Code
Quick Response Code is a two dimensional code which is very robust and therefore widespread. While scanning this code the customers get redirected to more informations about the product. Especially in a relative new market like the CBD market this is useful to double check the quality. Our products QR Codes will redirect the customer to the product page where they can evaluate the lab report and get more details.
