You may have noticed recently that we’ve changed what we are calling our hemp oil. We are now referring to it as organic full-spectrum hemp(cbd) oil. We’ve always been a full transparency hemp(cbd) company and will continue this even when our label designer is left scratching their head in confusion. 
To explain this change a little more, we thought a short Q&A with our founder, Dave, was in order to help you understand why this change is important, and to help you understand what organic full-spectrum terpene rich Full Spectrum hemp(cbd) oil means.
When looking for hemp(cbd) oil what should you look for?
The first thing to always look for is where was it grown. Always choice hemp grown in the USA, it’s cleaner and not full of toxins like hemp from elsewhere. The next thing to watch for is how was the hemp(cbd) extracted? You don’t want an extraction method that uses too many chemicals. Our preferred extraction method is Vapor Distillation, which is 100% chemical free. Are you able to find Certificates of Analysis for the hemp(cbd)? As a full-disclosure company, we have COAs onsite for anyone to see at any time. And lastly, always choose a full-spectrum hemp(cbd) oil.
What does full spectrum mean?
Full spectrum or whole plant extract is oil extracted from the hemp plant which contains all the cannabinoids found in the plant. In addition, Omega fatty acids, flavonoids, and terpenes are found in full-spectrum hemp oil. All good things that you want!
What does terpene rich mean?
Terpenes rich means that the whole plant is used in the extraction process and retains the terpenes which are fragrant compounds that give cannabis unique properties. Terpenes work synergistically to enhance the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids, resulting in an entourage effect. You should always buy a hemp(cbd) oil product that has as many terpenes as possible.
Why choose Full Spectrum hemp(cbd) oil instead of just CBD oil?
We get it, hemp terminology is confusing and seems to change often! Full Spectrum hemp(cbd) oil has all of the tools (cannabinoids and terpenes) from a cannabis plant. Whereas CBD hemp oil is only one of the tools available, the cannabidiol cannabinoid. Opt for a Full Spectrum hemp(cbd) oil to get all the benefits possible.
When checking label ingredients of hemp products what is the best hemp oil to look for?
There are three ways to extract hemp oil from the plant: ethanol, CO2, and Vapor Distillation. Vapor Distillation offers the cleanest extraction and uses zero chemicals, only heated hair.
