Inside The Hemp RawZen™ Extraction Process

INSIDE HEMP RAWZEN™ – WHY ROSIN-PRESS IS THE BEST CBD EXTRACTION METHOD AVAILABLE

Hemp RawZen™ is a pure reflection of the living plant.

The way a company extracts CBD from their hemp is just as important as growing it at organic standards. There are many extraction methods to choose from. However when it comes to purity and preserving the full benefits that can be found in the hemp flower, we believe that rosin-pressing is the best CBD extraction method available. 

The hemp plant is abundant in compounds that have the power to bring our bodily systems back into a state of balance. How these compounds are extracted ultimately determines the amount of phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that end up in your CBD oil.

You can start with the finest organic hemp available, but if you extract the CBD oil from that hemp in a crude manner, the thousands of naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids will be damaged and lost. CBD rosin press is a technique that preserves the full-spectrum of these compounds without using any added solvents or harsh chemicals. So what starts as organic, stays organic. If you want the purest and most effective product available, always look for CBD rosin press for sale.

The Best CBD Extraction Method Starts with a Raw and zen philosophy

With every move we make as a company, we ask ourselves one main question: Is this supportive to the Earth and also to us? This philosophy will give you a good idea of what ends up inside our bottles. It’s also why we decided to trademark our rosin press extraction method as Hemp RawZen™. 

When devoting our energy to tending to the Earth, we find ourselves entering a flow state that can happen when you are in appreciation and communion with the natural world. Our team works with our plants every day and has learned to sense their needs. There is a delicate, zen balance that must be found to tend to our plants, while respecting the timing of all that’s involved with making our oils.

It’s our goal to step up as next generation leaders, pioneering bushwackers in the hemp revolution. And it has been a raw process to say the least. Staying steadfast in our principles – prioritizing quality products and stewardship of the Earth more than our profits, in a world that works in the opposite way – is an everyday challenge. But we do it, so we can practice what we preach. 

Because how you do one thing is how you do everything. How we make our hemp oil reflects how we are striving to do everything in our lives. As we refine our ingredients, stripping away what’s unnecessary in our CBD oil, we as a team also seem to engage in a similar process within ourselves. In seeing things to completion and choosing solutions which align with the highest level of integrity and respect for the Earth in both business and production, our raw, original, human essence is made manifest. 

This is our RawZen™ philosophy. 

Then comes drying and storage

CBD potency can be lost during drying and storage, before extraction even takes place. That’s why we go low and slow with everything. Our plants are carefully dried at the proper humidity temperatures levels to ensure the maximum amount of phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids are preserved. These precise conditions are regulated daily. 

Preserving the maximum potency of hemp’s beneficial compounds also requires a careful curing process. Over the course of one month or longer, we delicately aerate our hemp flowers to allow the maturation and maximum development of their flavor and impact.

Applying pressure and heat instead of chemical solvents

The great thing about rosin-pressing is that it requires zero harsh chemicals in the extraction process. Rosin-pressing instead utilizes a combination of low heat and pressure to squeeze the beneficial resinous sap from our hemp plants. 

There’s a handcrafted essence to our hemp oil.Our 200 lb machine uses pneumatic pressure to press small batches of hemp until a golden, sticky extraction of pure plant is produced. Rosin-pressing is far more labor intensive compared to throwing thousands of pounds of hemp into a machine with solvents to strip out the CBD. We weigh out each batch that we handpress by the gram. The CBD oil that results is a “beyond  full spectrum extract” and a pure reflection of the living plant.  What we mean by this is that more phytocannabinoids and terpenes are preserved through this process than what is typical as full spectrum by industry measures. 

Hemp RawZen™ rosin pressed CBD is what’s known as a solventless technique, meaning the process does not require the use of any foreign substances. Many companies chemically extract CBD from hemp using light hydrocarbons such as butane, ethanol, and propane. These chemicals may effectively separate CBD from the hemp plant, but many of the organic compounds are lost in the process. The chemical solvents used then have to be removed from the final product to “acceptable and safe” levels to consume. This is why the best cbd extraction methods never use chemical solvents. 

Rosin-pressed hemp, on the other hand, does not require any chemicals or additional cleaning; the final product is ready in minutes. No phytocannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids are stripped from the hemp or disrupted in the process. When executed correctly, rosin pressing produces a superior potency of CBD oil vs. other solvent-based extraction products. The benefits of rosin press extraction reflect a commitment to quality over quantity in every company that uses this method. 

We then blend our CBD with MCT oil derived from organic coconuts. This is the only other ingredient that we use. We chose this carrier oil because it helps assimilate the phytocannabinoids further into your bloodstream. 

Lab Testing and Quality Assurance

In a lab test, our Hemp RawZen™ oil made with rosin press CBD extraction technology will never contain a single part per million of residual hydrocarbon (a notoriously dangerous poison that results in damage to the kidney and liver and even death when ingested). Emerald Ascent conducts 3rd party lab tests on CBD, terpene, mold, and pesticide levels, as well as heavy metal screening. Our claims are guaranteed and can be found here. 

And the results speak for themselves. Rosin-press is the best CBD extraction method – hands down.
