Understanding CBD

Where our CBD comes from — the plant, how it is grown, and what makes it legal.

Two kinds of hemp, one plant

Hemp is Cannabis sativa grown to contain very little THC. It is bred and grown two ways:

Industrial hemp
Grown tall for fiber and seeds — rope, canvas, paper, and hemp seed oil. The seeds are nutrient-rich, but they do not contain CBD.
Hemp grown for cannabinoids
Bred for cannabinoid-rich flower and leaves — this is where the CBD and other cannabinoids in our oils come from.

Hemp seed oil — our carrier

We use hemp seed oil as the carrier in our products. Pressed from hemp seeds, it is naturally rich in omega fatty acids and makes a clean base that helps carry the cannabinoids. On its own, hemp seed oil does not contain CBD — so if a product lists only hemp seed oil, check the label for actual CBD content.

Where our CBD comes from

USA-grown & organic
Organically grown hemp — no chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides.
Whole-plant extraction
CO2 extraction keeps the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes.
Made in the USA
Manufactured and bottled in a registered facility.
Third-party tested
A Certificate of Analysis is available for every batch.

Under the U.S. Farm Bill framework, hemp-derived products containing no more than 0.3% THC are federally legal and can ship to all 50 states. A few states set their own rules, so it is worth checking yours. Our broad-spectrum oils are THC-free, and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every batch.
