CBD isolate is one of the most sought-after raw materials for manufacturers. Over 99% pure and completely odorless, this extract is particularly easy and convenient to handle. easy and convenient to handle.
Today, we'd like to give you an overview of of CBD products products you can make with isolate.
What is CBD isolate?
There are so manycannabinoid extracts that it's easy to confuse them. Let's take a quick look at CBD isolate and its characteristics.
Appearance & composition
The isolate is easy to identify, as it is the only extract that comes in powdered crystal form. In fact, it's sometimes referred to as "CBD crystals". This is due to its extremely pure composition. In fact, the isolate is composed of only of a single cannabinoid. Most often, this is cannabidiol (CBD), but CBN and CBG isolates are also available.
In short, CBD isolate is an extremely refined extract. So, while it offers optimal cannabinoid content (over 99%), it must be borne in mind that it is devoid of terpenes. It therefore has neither smell nor taste.
Features & main uses
Overall, CBD isolate can be used in three ways:
1️⃣ To produce a product whose the main ingredient is CBD. Typically, CBD oil;
2️⃣ To increase the concentration of a CBD product. This can be broad or full spectrum. For example, a CBD resin;
3️⃣ Or, to add CBD to the composition of a lambda product in synergy with the active molecules of other plants or compounds. This is the case, for example, with certain beauty products, such as a shea cream enriched with CBD.
CBD isolate is therefore a relatively versatile raw material. As we'll detail below, this extract offers numerous possibilities for product development. And to make matters worse, thanks to its purity, it offers simple, precise dosage.
The raw material is therefore just as suitable for manufacturers specializing in hemp-derived products as it is for those who simply want to add CBD to their products.

Before going any further, we'd like to give you a quick overview of the pros and cons of using CBD isolates on an industrial scale.

5 CBD products based on cannabinoid isolates (CBD, CBN, CBG, etc.)
As we have seen, CBD isolate is a raw material that presents few technical constraints It has no taste or smell, and is easy to dose and handle. In short, its use requires little technical knowledge. As a result, the applications for CBD isolate are vast and varied.
#1. CBD Oil
When we talk about CBD oil, we're referring to a vegetable oil to which hemp extract has been added.
Most often, this extract is full or broad spectrum (like crude oil or distillate), as this produces a CBD oil with the organoleptic characteristics organoleptic characteristics of hemp (thanks to terpenes). In addition, full/broad spectrum CBD products are sought after by consumers who want to benefit from the the entourage effect.
However, it is also possible to offer an oil containing only CBD. Although products containing the plant's full molecular make-up are particularly popular, there is also a strong demand from people who wish to limit their consumption to cannabidiol. Indeed, CBD is by far the most studied cannabinoid and whose effects are the best documented.
In addition, note that the isolate can also be used to increase the concentration of a full/broad spectrum oil. In this sense, the use of minor cannabinoid isolates (CBN and CBG, for example) is particularly relevant. This makes it possible to offer CBD oils with an original and innovative composition.
#2. Highly concentrated resins
CBD resin is obtained in the same way as traditional hashish, either by sieving or pressing. The only notable difference is that we use hemp flowers instead of cannabis flowers.
As a result, resin concentration is limited by the CBD content of the flowers content of the flowers used. Given that the finest specimens have a concentration of around 15%, in the best-case scenario we obtain a resin with a relatively low CBD content. relatively low for hashish. All the more so as this type of product generally attracts hardened consumers looking for a high concentration.
As you may have guessed, CBD isolate is the solution to this problem. In fact, the CBD content can be increased as desired, without altering the texture, taste or smell of the resin. This neutrality is a great advantage when you consider that these characteristics are particularly important for this type of product (from the world of marijuana).
And as we mentioned, there are also isolates of minor cannabinoids. CBN and CBG isolates, in fact, make it possible to offer new resin compositions.
#3. CBD creams and balms
Hemp was introduced into the composition of beauty products long before the CBD boom. At that time, manufacturers used the legal parts of the plant, viz, everything but the flower.
Hemp seeds are rich in omegas 3 and 6, justifying the nourishing properties of the products of the time. However, it is indisputable that the introduction of cannabinoids marked a turning point in the conception of beauty products stamped "hemp-based". Indeed, while the iconic leaf is still present on their packaging, the three-letter acronym has since replaced the vernacular name.
Once again, creams and balms can be formulated with a full or broad spectrum extract to offer the user a complete experience. However, recent research into the beauty properties of cannabidiol is sufficient to justify the desire to offer a cream or balm containing only CBD.
And to conclude on the subject of creams and balms, let's just add that this type of product is also a big hit in the wellness sphereand especially among athletes. Indeed, CBD creams (and even CBD+CBG creams, for their anti-inflammatory properties) are very popular for relaxing muscles after exercise.
#4. Food products: CBD gummies and drinks
Of course, food products have not escaped the trend. There are all kinds of CBD-enhanced foods on the market today: cookies, candies and drinks of all kinds.
Apart from infusions, which are generally composed of hemp trimthe vast majority of CBD-enriched edibles are made using with isolate. When you consider that not only is it easy to dose, but it doesn't alter the texture or taste of the product, it's easy to see why!
Just a reminder that the use of isolate implies the addition of a fatty substance (which may be animal or vegetable), so that the body can absorb the CBD. For the record, water-soluble water-soluble CBD gets around this constraint.
#5. Products for vape
Some e-liquids reproduce the taste and smell of the most iconic cannabis varieties. These products are made from wax or distillate. However, demand for traditional e-liquids enriched with CBD is also flourishing. And in this case, CBD isolate is the obvious choice.
In fact, we read here and there that users can make their own e-liquid simply by adding a few CBD crystals to a PV/PG base. Let's take this opportunity to point out that if the isolate is incorporated as it is, then this risks damage the user's electronic cigarette cigarette. For this reason, most manufacturers of vape products enriched with hemp extract actually use resistant crystal distillate.
