Extraction and Activation

We begin with whole organic hemp plants—including the flowers, leaves, and stalks. To capture and preserve the desired natural components in our pure hemp oil extract, we use vapor distillation—wherein heated air vaporizes and condenses select active compounds.

Next, we use “flash activation,” which—in less than two seconds—results in a distinctively potent and effective extract, with a full spectrum of more than 100 cannabinoids and a high level of naturally occurring terpenes. Read more about cannabinoids and terpenes in the Q&A section below.

Flash activation maximizes the “entourage effect,” which means that the cannabinoids and terpenes work together to provide the most effective benefits. It also lets us avoid using the typical technique of extended high heat and harsh solvents, which can drive off and destroy plants’ volatile terpenes and lower the efficacy of the extract.

The simple result of all this? Superior hemp oil extract for superior skincare.

Whole-plant hemp oil extracts are acclaimed for a number of benefits. Perhaps most significantly for skincare, they’re known to reduce inflammation. People with acne, redness, and other types of inflammation have seen great results. Hemp oil extracts can also help with relieving soreness and pain, which is why so many people like to rub them into overworked muscles.

You may have heard about the antioxidants that hemp contains, or its calming properties, or any number of other advantages. Every person is unique and can benefit from hemp oil extract according to their needs.

Yes. Our full-spectrum hemp oil extract is made from legal hemp plants.

No. Though marijuana and hemp are both from the the cannabis family, they are two different plants. Hemp contains virtually no THC—the substance that causes the sensation of being high.

Cannabinoids are the phytochemicals (plant chemicals) that give hemp its medicinal properties. Perhaps the best-known cannabinoid in hemp is CBD (cannabidiol), but there are over 100 others.

Your body creates cannabinoids naturally—these are called “endocannabinoids.” They work with receptors in your endocannabinoid system (or ECS) for a number of different functions throughout your body, generally to promote health and homeostasis. The cannabinoids produced by plants are called “phytocannabinoids” and can interact with your ECS receptors much in the way that your endocannabinoids do.

Terpenes are a class of organic compounds that are often responsible for giving plants their distinctive aromas and flavors. In hemp, they can work in concert with cannabinoids to enhance medicinal effects.

Cannabidiol (or CBD) is the major cannabinoid found in hemp, but it is not the only one. Our full-spectrum hemp oil extract includes CBD, but it also contains over 100 other cannabinoids as well. Science is still working to discover the unique benefits that each of these may provide.
