Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between isolate and distillate?
CBD isolate is 99%+ pure CBD powder with non-detect Delta-9 THC. Distillate is a refined oil that keeps other cannabinoids, sold as broad or full spectrum.
Which CBD form is best for my product?
It depends on the format. Isolate suits THC-free tinctures and topicals, distillate suits full and broad spectrum products, and water soluble suits drinks.
Is every order tested?
Yes. Listed COAs show representative quality and the batch COA is sent with every order.
