What do you test for?

Upon receiving a bulk shipment of hemp we test for heavy metals and potency.

In the next step, we use ethanol to separate CBD from the plant material. Afterward, the raw oil is tested for potency and for solvents—it’s important to note that the solvent we use (cane ethanol) is the same as what you find in alcoholic drinks and is safe for human consumption. You can find potency results on each product’s page.

If the raw CBD oil is refined into distilled CBD we test again for potency. Testing for solvents is not performed twice due to the distillation process removes any remaining alcohol.

If it is refined into CBD isolate we test again for solvents and potency.
