Hemp is a plant species in the Cannabaceae family (more commonly known as cannabis). It is recognized for its many benefits, whether in food or cosmetics.
CBD is one of the cannabinoids found in these flowers. It has no psychoactive properties and is legal under French and European regulations.
What is hemp?
This flower is a subspecies of plants in the Cannabaceae family. In Latin, this means “cannabis,” but hemp is distinguished from cannabis by its structure and composition. It is cultivated and selected for its low content of THC and other cannabinoids. As a result, it has no psychotropic effects on the receptors of the nervous system.
In order for its cultivation to be legal in France, this plant must be of a variety with a THC content of 0.2% or less.
Where is the hemp plant grown?
Hemp is grown all over the world, particularly in Europe and France. Below is a list of the countries where it is grown.
How is CBD extracted from hemp?
Naturally present in hemp flowers, CBD can be extracted in various ways. These methods have a direct impact on the quality and purity of the CBD molecule. That’s why we’re able to offer you a variety of flavors and profiles available for purchase in our shop.
Extracting CBD from hemp flowers using supercritical CO2:
Supercritical CO2 extraction is widely regarded as the healthiest and safest method available today. Without the use of solvents or alcohol, this nearly natural process yields a plant-based paste that retains all of its active compounds, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. This allows us to produce CBD with properties that are highly sought after for both its flavor and its effects.
This extraction is carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide, which is subjected to high pressure and maintained at the boundary between the liquid and gaseous states.
Temperature fluctuations vary depending on the technique used, which has a direct impact on CBD products.
Solvent-based extraction of CBD from hemp flowers:
Solvent extraction involves immersing a substance in a liquid to extract one or more components from it. This technique is the simplest to perform, requires no special equipment, and is inexpensive. Different solvents can be used depending on the molecule being extracted: water, oil, etc.
Chemical solvents are typically used to extract CBD. They are effective at extracting cannabinoids. However, they can leave traces in the resulting CBD.
Temperature variations differ depending on the technique used, which directly influences the choice of CBD.
What is the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil?
These two oils each have different properties:
Hemp oil is derived from crushed hemp seeds: it does not contain CBD and is used like any other vegetable oil—in food, cosmetics, and so on. Rich in omega fatty acids and other essential fatty acids, it remains one of the most beneficial vegetable oils due to its content of nutrients essential for the body’s proper functioning.
CBD oilcontains CBD: it is made up of a vegetable oil, such as olive oil or hemp seed oil, and a CBD-rich hemp extract.
What are the benefits of hemp?
Hemp has many uses:
Using Hemp for Your Well-Being
Thanks to its high content of CBD, terpenes, and flavonoids (which make up the plant’s essential oils), hemp allows you to enjoy the benefits of cannabidiol without experiencing the psychoactive effects of the THC found in cannabis. Of course, its THC content must not exceed 0.2%.
CBD therefore has the advantage of being available in the form of flowers, oils, CBD e-liquids, or tea derived from hemp, with its effects enhanced by terpenes. This gives our customers a wide selection of products to choose from in our shop.
Hemp in Cosmetics
Numerous European studies are being conducted on the role of CBD and terpenes in the skin. What effect does CBD have on cosmetic products? How can CBD flowers have a positive impact on consumers’ health?
Now, you can enjoy their benefits thanks to CBD creams and cosmetics.
You'll find a variety of cosmetics in our online store.
The Use of Hemp in the Food Industry
Hemp seeds are known for their high content of high-quality nutrients: fatty acids, proteins, etc. They can be eaten as is or cold-pressed to produce hemp seed oil, one of the healthiest vegetable oils currently available.
What is industrial hemp?
Hemp stalks have been used for thousands of years for their strength (ropes, clothing, paper, etc.). Hemp is also used in dozens of industrial applications: concrete, insulation, paper, clothing, plastic, biofuel, etc.
For our customers, we have chosen to offer a range of varieties. The use of CBD is permitted as long as it complies with European and French standards and has a THC content of less than 0.2%.
For each available product, check out customer reviews on the effects, ratings, and flavors of each variety.
