When exploring the various CBD products on the market, you may have come across the term CBD Tincture. But what does “Tincture” actually mean and what is “CBD Tincture”?
Let’s dive into these questions and clarify some misconceptions about CBD Tincture.
Now we’ve gone over the truth about Full Spectrum CBD Oil which you can learn more about here, but what is the difference between CBD Oil and Tincture?
What does CBD Tincture mean?
CBD Tincture is more than often a term that is used incorrectly. A “Tincture” is traditionally referring to a solution that uses alcohol as its carrier oil or solvent. Many people will mix different types of herbs ( including hemp ) in order to make an alcohol based extract.
Oftentimes what people think they are referring to is simply CBD Oil. Now who is to say you can’t call your CBD Oil a CBD tincture? Well technically you can but this is where it gets confusing. Over time it seems that CBD tincture has just been a term that has evolved to include many other products that may not include alcohol. So what can we learn from this? Read the label and ask questions!
The truth about tinctures
The term “Tincture” is often used interchangeably with “CBD Oil” although there’s a key difference. A tincture is alcohol based which means the cannabinoids are extracted using some kind of alcohol as a solvent. This method can be effective but often results in a product with a harsh taste and may contain potential irritants from the alcohol content as we’re pretty sure most companies don’t use Grey Goose as their alcohol base when producing tinctures.
At Vermont Whole Flower, we take a different approach. We believe in using only the highest quality ingredients and methods. That’s why our Whole Flower CBD Oil is not tincture. Instead, we use a gentle infusion method that avoids harsh chemicals, ensuring a purer, cleaner product overall. To learn more about our lipid infusion check out our process page.
How to choose a quality CBD Oil (or tincture) product?
- Read the Ingredients : Look for what is in the ingredients. If you see alcohol or ethanol as one of the first ingredients then that is most likely a “CBD Tincture” or alcohol based CBD product.
- Pay Attention to the Extraction Method: The method used can impact the quality of the final product so look for things like ethanol, alcohol or CO2 on the label. At Vermont Whole Flower we only use trimmed CBD & CBG Flower when we infuse with organic coconut MCT oil, a clean process to preserve flavor, potency and ensure the best quality products.
- Know the Source: Quality starts with the plant. Our CBD oil is derived from carefully cultivated strain specific cbd and cbg flowers, creating products that are unlike any other.
Look for CBD Oil products made with quality trichomes
Trichomes are tiny glandular structures that are found on the surface of the CBD Flower. The trichomes are responsible for the CBD primary production. Storing the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. They are essentially the most crucial component of the plant for CBD production.
Trichomes are the most important factor when it comes to a quality CBD product. They directly influence the potency, consistency, and overall effectiveness of the CBD. Better trichomes mean a more effective product.
