Why is 3rd Party Lab-testing Important?
When you purchase a CBD product, it's important to know that the lab report is accurate. A 3rd party lab report is an independent analysis of the quality of your CBD oil and other ingredients.
A 3rd party lab report will look at each batch of hemp oil, isolate or concentrate to ensure that it meets our high standards for purity and concentration levels. In addition to providing a detailed breakdown of how much CBD and THC are in each batch, these reports also show test for any solvents, heavy metal and pesticides.
Why is testing done by a third party so important?
The most important reason for third-party testing is that it's the only way to ensure an objective and unbiased opinion on the quality of a product. Whenever you buy something, you want to know that your money is well spent, and this can only be done if there are facts about the product available for all to see.
Third party testing also ensures transparency: anyone can see how much CBD oil has been used in each batch of our products; knowing that information helps our customers make decisions about what product they want to buy. Because we have nothing to hide (and because we care about every aspect of our business), we welcome any opportunity for others to examine what makes us great!
How do tests work?
Testing is the most important part of making sure you're getting what you pay for. It's why we go to such great lengths to ensure that our products are safe, pure and potent. The first step in testing is looking at heavy metals, pesticides and solvents. Heavy metals like mercury can lead to serious health problems when consumed; pesticides can irritate people's airways or cause skin irritation; solvents are used in production but should remain behind in the process.
Next comes potency testing, which is done by comparing levels of CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) against an established standard. These two chemical compounds interact with each other differently depending on what type of strain you're using as a base—some have more CBD than THC and some have more THC than CBD—so knowing how much of each compound is present allows us to determine if there are contaminants present or if any substances were used during production that could make your product unsafe for human consumption just based on the ratio alone!
What kind of testing do you do?
Our testing lab is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association and adheres to AOAC International protocols for cannabis testing. We test for cannabinoids, heavy metals, pesticides and microbes; we also run residual solvent tests on our products.
The results from these tests are a crucial part of what makes our CBD so special—we want you to know that your product is safe and clean!
We take quality seriously.
