Emulsificationis the process of turning a cannabis oil into something that can be dissolved into a beverage.

TECHNICAL INFO

We are partnered with Vertosa who are experts in the field of infusion technology. Vertosa creates the most effective and reliable active ingredients for infused product makers. More simply, they source the highest quality cannabis from licensed producers and transform pure cannabis oil into droplets small enough to dissolve/disperse into a water-based liquid; this is called an"emulsion".

Hemp or cannabis flower strains are processed to extract raw cannabinoids from the plant in the form of distillate or isolate (see difference below). Just like oil does not mix with water, the extracted isolate or distillate is hydrophobic (think: scared of water), the cannabinoid oil needs to undergo a process called emulsification in order to be blended with a beverage.

The emulsification process basically applies energy to break up the cannabinoid oil into tiny enough parts (droplets) to become water-soluble (dissolvable) and blended into our beverages.
