How We Make CBD Oil: From Hemp to Pure CBD Oil

At Unspun, we are committed to delivering you the highest-quality CBD possible, using gold-standard methods and carefully selected ingredients. This article will take you through our entire process—from growing premium hemp to producing broad-spectrum CBD oil—so you can understand precisely how our CBD is made. By reading this, you’ll gain insights into the benefits of CBD oil and how CBD oil is made

What Is CBD Oil, and How Is It Made from Hemp?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the many cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive effects, which makes it a popular choice for those looking to experience the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the high. But how is CBD oil made? At Unspun, we make sure great care is taken in cultivating our hemp plants under optimal conditions to produce high-quality CBD. From the selection of seeds to the harvest, each stage is critical for ensuring the potency and purity of the CBD extract.

Why Choose Hemp to Make CBD Oil?

Hemp, a variety of the Cannabis Sativa plant, is rich in CBD and other beneficial compounds. One of the reasons we use hemp to make CBD oil is because it naturally contains less than 0.3% THC, which is the legal limit. This makes hemp-derived CBD products an excellent choice for those seeking the benefits of cannabinoids without the risks associated with higher THC content.

What Is the Supercritical CO2 CBD Extraction Process?

At Unspun, we produce our CBD oil using the supercritical CO2 extraction method. Recognised as the gold standard in the CBD industry, this process uses precise temperatures and pressures to extract CBD and other valuable compounds from the hemp plant. The CO2 extraction process ensures a clean, solvent-free product that preserves the natural potency of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.

During this process, the CO2 is pressurised to a state where it acts as both a gas and a liquid. This allows it to dissolve the cannabinoids, effectively extracting them from the hemp material. The result is a pure CBD oil that maintains its natural benefits without the risk of chemical contamination.

What Are the Benefits of Broad-Spectrum CBD Oil?

Our broad-spectrum CBD oil provides more than just cannabidiol. It includes other beneficial cannabinoids such as CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol), as well as natural terpenes. These compounds work together in what is known as the "entourage effect," enhancing the potential benefits of CBD oil.

Broad-spectrum CBD oil offers a balance of cannabinoids without the presence of THC, making it a safe choice for those who wish to avoid any psychoactive effects. Whether you're using CBD oil for relaxation, pain relief, or improving overall wellness, this broad-spectrum formula offers a comprehensive approach to cannabinoid therapy.

How Do We Test the Quality of Our CBD Oil?

Every batch of our CBD oil is subject to rigorous lab testing to ensure it meets our high standards for purity, consistency, and safety. We work with independent, third-party labs that analyse our products for cannabinoid content, the presence of any residual solvents, and potential contaminants. This guarantees that every bottle of Unspun CBD oil you purchase is safe, effective, and of the highest quality.

We believe transparency is critical, which is why we make these lab reports available to our customers. You can easily access them online (insert link) to verify the quality and potency of each product.

How We Grow Our Hemp Plants for CBD Production

Growing hemp for CBD extraction is a precise and delicate process. At Unspun, we choose only EU-regulated hemp seeds that are cultivated in optimal conditions to maximise CBD content. The hemp plant produces cannabinoids at varying levels throughout its life cycle, so careful timing is essential when harvesting. Our experienced farmers monitor the growth closely to ensure the plants are harvested at the peak of their cannabinoid production.

Insects, mould, and weather conditions can significantly affect the quality of the hemp crop. That's why we follow organic practices, using natural pest control methods and avoiding synthetic chemicals to maintain the integrity of the hemp plant. This not only benefits the environment but also ensures that you get a pure, high-quality CBD product.

What carrier Oils do we use in our CBD Oil?

The carrier oil used in CBD oil plays a significant role in its absorption and overall effectiveness. At Unspun, Our broad-spectrum CBD is combined with hemp seed oil , which is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. 

We chose hemp seed oil because it allows us to create a product that is 100% derived from the hemp plant. Hemp seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids and provides additional health benefits alongside the CBD.

How Does CBD Work with the Endocannabinoid System?

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining balance in many physiological processes, including mood, sleep, and immune response. The ECS consists of receptors (CB1 and CB2) that interact with cannabinoids like CBD to regulate these functions. By supporting the ECS, CBD oil may help promote a sense of balance and well-being.

Although more research is needed, many studies suggest that CBD may offer potential benefits for anxiety, pain management, and even inflammation. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new CBD regimen.
