Can you tell me more about your CBD products?Soakology hemp extract oil is made with 100% Oregon grown medical hemp (CBD) using super critical CO2 extraction. This extract is a full spectrum blend made from natural components of medical hemp and contains no preservatives. Our CBD products go through rigorous lab testing in all stages of formulation and production from farm harvest to finished product. Our hemp is purchased from licensed, organic growers in Oregon. The plants are grown outdoors, allowing natural sun and rain to infuse healing properties into the plants and bring out the best whole plant essence. Soakology’s CBD, as approved guidelines from the FDA dictate, contains less than 0.3% THC. In other words, you cannot get high from using our CBD products as our best use directs. CBD is quite different from Cannabis. Our testing guidelines are rigorous and we ensure that the lab results match the ingredients in our products.
