What is CO2 extraction?

In the CO2 extraction process, pressure carbon dioxide can be used to “pull” out the phyto-compounds. These are already in the raw hemp plant material. Cannabinoids and terpenes are two of these naturally occurring phyto-compounds. In the end, CO2-extracted CBD oils have an amber color, which shows that they contain a wide range of chemicals from hemp that are good for you.

Carbon dioxide is used by manufacturers because it is a chemical that can be used in many different ways. It works as a solvent only within a certain range of temperature and pressure. However, unlike chemical solvents like butane and hexane, it does not pose the same health risks. The end result is that customers get high-quality oils that are clean and don’t have any dangerous waste products.

Only a small number of people are aware that carbon dioxide (CO2) is often added to foods and drinks to make them taste better. For example, the carbon dioxide (CO2) in soda or sparkling water is what makes the drink bubbly or sparkling when it is drunk.
