CBD has exploded onto the scene as a versatile and popular new product in the health and wellness space, with applications for everything from medical ailments to anxiety issues. Not all CBD products are made equally—and in fact, not all “CBD products” have been found to even contain their primary ingredient, CBD, when put to a third party lab test.
As the CBD market took off, more and more retailers partnered with CBD brands to use/sell in their own establishments. Doing so lets business owners provide their customers with the products they want and that are in demand. But it can also lead to a dilemma: How do you find and choose the right CBD oil distributor for your company? Whether you're selling CBD-infused massage oils or "top-shelf" CBD Tinctures, here's how to make sure you're providing your clients with the best around.
Choosing High Quality Products
Different extraction methods and different formulations lead to a huge variety of products and price ranges. At Lost Range, we believe in using the highest quality, all-natural ingredients to create our premium line of CBD products. We are committed to providing the highest-quality offerings on the market. Everything we make is handcrafted in small batches to ensure quality control and freshness.
We take care to ensure that our products are free of impurities and allergens, confirming via third party testing for every batch made. No fillers, no chemicals. All of Lost Ranges products are free of the 8 major allergens listed by the FDA: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. Here are some key guidelines to help you find a brand you can trust. And why we do it best...
- Farming: Where is the product you're buying actually made? Lost Range's raw CBD is made from industrial hemp, grown using certified organic practices by local, family-owned famers in Colorado. The particular location of the farms in Hotchkiss, CO is called the 'Banana Belt': known for its rich soil, long growing season and high production of fruits and vegetables.
- Extraction: Cheap extraction methods lead to cheap/poor quality product. In order to extract our raw CBD, we use a process called 'Cold Ethanol Extraction'. This allows for the ethanol to extract only the desired cannabinoids and terpenes, leaving unwanted fats and chlorophyll, resulting in pure CBD oil ready for refinement.
- Types of Cannabidiol: Choosing a brand that offers a range of quality Cannabinoids (CBD) is key to ensure you're using the best CBD for your clients' unique needs. For example, full-spectrum CBD products contain a wide variety of beneficial cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, protein, chlorophyll, terpenes, flavonoids, and fiber that, when combined, produce enhanced results (also known as the entourage effect). Isolate CBD is the purest form of CBD available, testing around 99.99% CBD and can be found in both crystalline and powdered crystal form. Isolate contains only one cannabinoid, CBD. Isolate is made through a 3-step extraction process in order to get the CBD isolated to its purest form.
- THC Percentages: It's important to sell a family-friendly product that anyone can use, so look for an oil that is less than .3%. Hemp plants are richer in CBD percentages and can test upwards of 15% CBD, while maintaining a THC level of less than .3%. Our Isolate CBD products contain 0% THC. The CBD isolate we use here at Lost Range is tested at 99.99% CBD. Our Full Spectrum CBD products contain less than .3% THC and contains other cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG and CBC.
- Product Variety: Choose a wholesale CBD company that provides a number of different delivery methods. Products like tinctures, infused-skincare products and rubs/salves best address different needs for your clients. Work with a business that provides a variety to ensure your customer's needs are met.
