Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between isolates and distillates (CBD isolate vs CBD distillate)?
Isolates are ultra-high-purity cannabinoid powders (99%+ CBD or CBG) containing a single cannabinoid and no detectable THC, ideal for precise dosing and water-soluble formulations. Distillates are oil-based extracts that preserve full or broad cannabinoid and terpene profiles—our FSD, CRD, and CBD Distillate are full spectrum with trace THC, while BSD is broad-spectrum with non-detect THC. Choose isolates when you need THC-free, crystalline material and distillates when you want entourage effects and oil-compatible formulations.
What purity can I expect from your CBD and CBG isolates?
Our CBD Isolate and CBG Isolate products are formulated as ultra-high-purity powders meeting or exceeding 99% cannabinoid content, designed for consistent B2B formulation and manufacturing. We also offer Japan-compliant isolate variants specifically processed to align with Japanese regulatory import standards. Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) values are available to verify purity for each shipment.
How do Full Spectrum Distillate (FSD), Broad Spectrum Distillate (BSD), and CRD differ?
Full Spectrum Distillate (FSD) and Crystal-Resistant Distillate (CRD) retain a complete cannabinoid and terpene profile including trace THC, offering full-plant characteristics; CRD emphasizes resin-derived terpene fidelity. Broad Spectrum Distillate (BSD) retains many cannabinoids and terpenes but is processed to non-detect THC levels for customers seeking entourage-like effects without detectable THC. Select based on whether you need trace THC present (FSD/CRD) or non-detect THC (BSD).
Do you provide COAs and third-party lab testing for each batch?
Yes, we provide third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports for every production batch to verify cannabinoid profile, potency, residual solvents, pesticides, and heavy metals. COAs are available on our product pages or on request, so formulators and compliance teams can perform due diligence before purchase. If you need assistance interpreting a COA, our technical team can walk you through key datapoints relevant to your application.
Are your hemp-derived cannabinoids legal to buy and sell?
In the U.S., hemp-derived cannabinoids containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC are generally permitted under the 2018 Farm Bill, but legality varies by jurisdiction and downstream use. We recommend customers verify local, state, and international regulations before ordering, especially for export or novel product categories. Our product documentation and COAs support compliance checks, but final legal responsibility rests with the buyer and their legal counsel.
What does 'Japan-compliant' CBG/CBD isolate mean and can you export to Japan?
'Japan-compliant' isolates are processed and tested to meet common Japanese import expectations, such as non-detect THC and documentation aligned with Japanese regulatory requirements. While we produce isolates formulated for Japan compliance, import approval and acceptance are determined by Japanese authorities and your local importer; we advise coordinating with an experienced customs broker. We can provide batch COAs and supporting documents to assist with Japanese import applications.
Can I use your CBD Distillate and CBG Distillate in vapes, edibles, and topicals?
Yes—our CBD Distillate (80%+ CBD) and CBG Distillate (80%+ CBG) are formulated for versatile use in vapes, edibles, tinctures, and topical formulations, offering oil-based compatibility and stable potency. Formulation considerations such as viscosity, terpene content, and carrier selection vary by application; our technical team can advise on dilution, thinning agents, and homogenization best practices. Always validate finished-product stability, flavor, and regulatory compliance for your target market.
How do I place a bulk order and what are your minimum order quantities for wholesale?
We handle bulk and wholesale orders through our B2B sales team—minimum order quantities depend on the product and custom packaging needs, so please contact sales for current MOQ and lead times. For larger or recurring purchases we offer tiered pricing, customized packaging, and contract manufacturing support. Provide your required product, estimated monthly volumes, and destination so we can create a tailored quote and timeline.
Do you offer wholesale pricing, volume discounts, or contract manufacturing?
Yes, we offer wholesale pricing structures and volume discounts for bulk purchasers, plus contract manufacturing options for formulators seeking white-label or custom blends. Pricing is determined by product type (isolate vs. distillate), order volume, and any value-added services such as custom milling, micronization, or Japan-compliant processing. Contact our sales team with your projected volumes and specification needs to receive a tailored quote.
What are typical lead times and shipping options for bulk shipments?
Lead times depend on product, order size, and destination; standard domestic bulk orders typically ship within the timeframe quoted on your purchase order, while international shipments require additional processing for export documentation. We offer freight and courier options, insured shipping for high-value loads, and can coordinate customs paperwork for export customers. For urgent timelines, contact sales early so we can prioritize production and logistics planning.
How should I store CBD and CBG isolates and distillates to preserve potency?
Store isolates and distillates in a cool, dry, dark environment away from heat and direct sunlight; airtight, opaque containers reduce oxidation and extend shelf life. Isolate powders should be kept free from moisture and humidity, while distillate oils benefit from refrigeration for long-term storage if frequent use is not required. Always use clean, inert tools when sampling to avoid contamination, and contact our team if you need safe-handling guidance for a specific product.
What formulation tips do you recommend when working with isolates versus distillates?
When formulating with isolates, account for their crystalline, water-soluble potential and precise potency—dissolve isolates in appropriate solvents or micronize for emulsions to ensure uniform distribution. Distillates provide oil-compatible matrices and retained terpenes, so consider melting point, viscosity, and carrier oils for consistent dosing; homogenization and proper mixing temperatures are important for stable edibles, vapes, and topicals. For potency calculations and stability testing, validate lab results on finished products and consult our technical team for application-specific guidance.
