How is organic CBD oil produced?
Organic CBD oil is a premium and high-quality alternative to ordinary CBD oils, many of which may have unknown origins. On this page, we will explore the production process of organic CBD oil, focusing on the critical CO2 extraction method used by Formula Swiss
This safe, effective, and gentle method ensures a clean and superior final product.
What is Critical CO2 Extraction?
The critical CO2 extraction method is the preferred technique for producing organic CBD oil due to its ability to retain a full spectrum of other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, nutrients, and antioxidants.
Using CO2 in its critical state allows the extraction process to avoid harmful chemicals, ensuring a clean and high-quality product.
The Extraction Process
The process of producing organic CBD oil using critical CO2 extraction involves several steps:
Washing the Hemp
The organic hemp is thoroughly washed to remove any contaminants, ensuring the highest quality starting material.
CO2 Preparation
CO2 is prepared in its critical state, meaning it exists as both a solid and a gas. This unique characteristic makes it an ideal solvent for extracting the desired components from hemp.
Extraction
The organic hemp is placed in an extractor filled with critical CO2. By heating the CO2 to its critical state, it is able to penetrate the hemp's cellular structure and efficiently extract CBD.
Separation and Filtration
After extraction, the CO2 is filtered out and completely removed through a thorough filtration process. This leaves behind an oily liquid containing high concentrations of CBD, along with other beneficial compounds.
Additional Processing
The extracted organic CBD oil may undergo additional processing, such as winterization or distillation, to further refine the product and remove any impurities.
We generally perform 3-4 more additional steps in Formula Swiss, but for competitive reasons, we cannot mention them here.
Advantages of Organic CBD Oil
Organic CBD oil, produced using the critical CO2 extraction method, offers several benefits:
Premium Quality
Organic CBD oils are more premium and high-quality than non-organic CBD oils, ensuring that consumers receive a product of known origin and superior quality.
Preservation of Cannabinoids and Terpenes
The gentle CO2 extraction method does not destroy the important cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp, ensuring a full-spectrum product.
Clean and Safe
The CO2 extraction method is clean and safe for producing organic CBD oil since it does not require the use of harmful chemicals.
High-Quality Product
Although the critical CO2 extraction method comes with a higher cost, it is highly recommended when producing top-notch organic CBD oil that satisfies the demands of selective customers.
