Cannabinoid distillates are becoming increasingly vital in the evolving landscape of hemp-derived products. As the demand for high-quality cannabinoids surges across Europe, understanding the role of distillates and their different types is crucial for consumers and businesses alike. At WeeDutch, we take pride in providing a range of premium distillates, ensuring compliance, purity, and innovation in every batch.
Cannabinoid distillates are refined extracts from hemp plants, meticulously processed to isolate and concentrate specific cannabinoids. These extracts undergo a process called distillation, where cannabinoids such as CBD, CBG, and other compounds are separated from the plant matter and unwanted substances. The resulting product is a potent, versatile liquid used in a variety of applications, from tinctures to edibles, topicals, and vape products.
One of the major distinctions in the market today is between crystal-resistant distillates (CRD) and regular distillates. Both are highly refined products, but they differ in terms of stability and use cases.
Regular Distillates: These are pure liquid cannabinoid extracts, often containing high concentrations of CBD or CBG. However, these distillates have a tendency to crystallize over time due to the high purity of the cannabinoid, particularly CBD. This crystallization can affect the consistency and usability of products, especially in applications requiring a stable, flowable liquid, such as in vape cartridges.
Crystal-Resistant Distillates (CRD): Crystal-resistant distillates are specifically formulated to remain in a liquid state for extended periods. This is achieved through proprietary processes that prevent the cannabinoids from crystallizing. CRD is ideal for applications like vape cartridges, where a consistent liquid form is critical for functionality and consumer experience. It also provides formulators greater flexibility and ensures longer shelf life in products where crystallization could be problematic.
At WeeDutch, we offer CBD Crystal-Resistant Distillate designed to meet these specific needs, allowing manufacturers to produce premium, stable cannabinoid products without the concerns of crystallization.
The legal framework for cannabinoid distillates in the EU is complex, as regulations vary across member states. The European Union’s stance on cannabinoids is primarily guided by the European Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Hemp-derived products, including distillates, are permitted as long as they adhere to specific conditions:
THC Content: Hemp-derived products, including distillates, must contain less than 0.2% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) to be legally sold in most European countries. Some countries, however, have more stringent limits or specific licensing requirements.
Novel Food Regulations: Cannabinoid extracts, such as CBD, fall under the EU’s Novel Food regulation, which requires businesses to apply for authorization before selling products intended for human consumption. At WeeDutch, we ensure that all of our distillates comply with EU food safety regulations and provide transparent, lab-tested results for all our products.
Cosmetic Use: Cannabinoid distillates can also be legally used in cosmetics, provided they comply with the EU Cosmetics Regulation. CBD, for example, is listed in the European Commission’s CosIng database as a legal ingredient in topical formulations, offering vast potential for skincare and wellness products.
It’s essential to stay informed about both national and EU regulations, as they can differ significantly. WeeDutch remains committed to offering compliant, high-quality distillates, ensuring that our products meet the highest safety and legal standards across Europe.
