Over several years, CBD has gained immense popularity due to its calming wellness properties that make it useful for various purposes such as sleep, pain relief, and overall well-being. It’s worth noting that there are different types of CBD oils, each with its unique benefits. Today, our focus is on CBD isolate, the most filtered of all CBD extracts, containing 99% pure CBD. Before we delve into the significance of CBD isolate for your CBD product and personal use, let’s first understand what CBD is, how it is extracted and filtered, and the process that leads to this highly pure form of cannabidiol.
Understanding Cannabinoids and CBD: An Overview of CBD Isolate.
To understand CBD isolate, we first need to comprehend what CBD is. CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound present in the cannabis plant, known as a cannabinoid. These cannabinoids exist in the plant to protect it from environmental factors and attract pollinators.
Interestingly, our bodies also produce a type of cannabinoids known as endocannabinoids as part of our endocannabinoid system. This system interacts with various organs and systems, especially the central and peripheral nervous systems, to regulate homeostasis, which is vital for several essential functions such as sleep, mood, appetite, memory, pain management, and stress.
When we introduce plant-based cannabinoids or phytocannabinoids like CBD into our bodies, they have a similar effect, which explains why CBD products are popular due to their potential to enhance overall wellness in various systems throughout the body.
CBD Isolate and CBD Oil Extraction from Hemp: Understanding the Process.
Then benefits of CBD and other cannabinoids are well-known, but how exactly is CBD extracted from the hemp plant, and how does it reach the purest form of CBD isolate?
Firstly, it is essential to understand the plant involved in creating CBD products. There are two forms of cannabis recognized by law – marijuana and hemp. Marijuana contains high amounts of THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for the “high” feeling. Although marijuana plants also have CBD, it is not the source used in making CBD products. Legally, unless obtained from a dispensary, it is impossible to get a CBD product derived from marijuana.
However, hemp is another type of cannabis that has low THC content, with less than 0.3% THC, making it non-psychoactive. Therefore, CBD derived from hemp cannot cause a high feeling. Our CBD products are derived exclusively from hemp.
Understanding Types of CBD Oil: Hemp Seed Oil vs CBD Oil.
It’s important to note that while oil can be extracted from hemp seeds, this oil, known as hemp seed oil, does not contain any cannabinoids, including CBD. Instead, CBD oil is extracted from the buds, leaves, and stalks of the hemp plant.
Understanding Full Spectrum CBD Oil.
When all the cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds fatty acids and terpenes are extracted from the hemp plant, the resulting oil is known as full spectrum CBD oil. This type of CBD oil contains all the rich chemical compounds of the plant, including trace amounts of THC.
The main benefit of using full spectrum CBD oil is that it provides the full potential of wellness benefits of the hemp plant. Consuming multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids together enhances each other’s performance as they interact with the endocannabinoid system, a phenomenon known as the Entourage Effect. The main reason why people opt for full spectrum CBD products.
BROAD SPECTRUM CBD
Some individuals prefer CBD products without any trace of THC, even in non-intoxicating amounts. As a result, an additional step of filtering is carried out to extract THC, reducing it to undetectable levels. However, during this process, some of the other cannabinoids and plant compounds are also eliminated, except for CBD. Despite this, the remaining cannabinoid content is still sufficient to produce a slightly weaker, yet potent version of the Entourage Effect. This form of CBD oil is known as broad spectrum CBD oil, and it’s the most commonly used type of CBD.
To obtain the purest form of CBD without any other cannabinoids or plant materials, CBD isolate is the answer.
This form of CBD is 99% pure and has gone through a process of winterization to remove lipids and plant waxes from the oil. Decarboxylation is then performed to convert the acidic form of cannabidiol, known as CBDA, to CBD. The concentrated CBD is then mixed with a non-polar solvent in a reactor and heated and cooled to form pure CBD crystals, similar to how sugar precipitates out of water when making rock candy. These crystals are then purified with the same solvent and placed into a vacuum oven for 48 hours to remove all solvents. The final result is 99% pure and solvent-free CBD isolate, which is odorless and flavorless, making it ideal for people who dislike the taste and smell of hemp. CBD isolate is also easily dissolved under the tongue.
CBD isolate is a popular choice for a variety of CBD products, and at JustCBD, we offer two types of CBD isolate products: CBD vape liquids and CBD bath bombs.
CBD ISOLATE VAPING PRODUCTS CBD isolate is a great option for vape liquids because it heats up nicely in vape kits and allows the flavor of the oil to stand out. JustCBD has a wide range of popular CBD vape juices and liquids made with CBD isolate.
CBD VAPE JUICES Our CBD vape juices come in five delicious flavors, including Blue Raspberry, Mango Ice, Watermelon, Pineapple, Cookie. They are available in strengths of 500mg, 1500mg, and 3000mg.

CBD ISOLATE BATH BOMB PRODUCTS CBD isolate works well in CBD bath bombs because it disperses easily in the tub and is absorbed through the pores of the skin. It also pairs well with other botanicals for a luxurious sensory experience.

In conclusion, each type of CBD has its advantages. While full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD products offer the Entourage Effect, CBD isolate has its own unique benefits. We encourage you to try out all the different types of CBD to discover what works best for you. We wish you the best on your CBD journey!
