Cannabidiol Isolate
Category: Extraction & Processing · Level: Intermediate
CBD isolate is a pure, crystalline form of cannabidiol containing 99%+ CBD with all other plant compounds removed.
CBD isolate is produced through extensive purification of hemp or cannabis extracts to yield a single-compound product containing cannabidiol at purities exceeding 99%. The final product is a white crystalline powder or solid with no discernible smell or taste. CBD isolate is used as a formulation ingredient across industries including nutraceuticals, cosmetics, food supplements, and pharmaceuticals. It is odorless, flavorless, and free of THC, making it suitable for products requiring zero detectable THC. Unlike full or broad spectrum products, CBD isolate lacks the full array of supporting compounds hypothesized to contribute to the entourage effect.
