When purchasing your first CBC product, you’re likely to be confused by terms like isolate, Bulk CBC Distillate, and full-spectrum. This may deter you from clicking the buy button or cause you to add a slew of different items to your cart–don’t worry, this post will explain everything.
What exactly is CBC Isolate?
CBC is an abbreviation for cannabidiol, the second most common active ingredient in cannabis, but it is extracted directly from the hemp plant. CBC isolate contains no psychoactive compounds (no THC), is completely legal, and has been shown to have safe and relaxing effects.
Manufacturers of CBC isolate use a variety of different processes to extract all of the compounds and other substances from hemp and cannabis plants, including THC. The process results in pure CBC crystals.
The Three Most Common Extraction Methods
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extraction – the most popular and dependable extraction method that funnels and pumps CO2 through multiple pressurized chambers. This subjected the plants to extremely high pressure and low temperatures, resulting in an extracted oil high in CBC.
Steam Distillation – This extraction method employs a ‘plant material’ distillation tank that is linked to another water-filled tank directly beneath it. Water is then boiled, and the steam rises to the plant material tank, separating the CBC-containing oil vapors.
Solvent Extraction is similar to steam distillation, except that instead of water, another solvent is used in the second tank. This method is more efficient than steam distillation, but it typically uses butane, alcohol, propane, olive oil, or ethanol to extract the CBC, which may contain toxins.
What exactly is CBC distillate?
Bulk CBC Distillate, on the other hand, is a highly refined extract that has been distilled. It typically contains 70-80 percent CBC isolate, but it also contains other cannabinoids. It’s called full-spectrum because it contains other cannabinoids, and it usually contains some THC. All products in Florida must comply with the law, which states that THC content cannot exceed 0.3 percent, so there should not be enough THC in any CBC products to get you high. CBC distillate is a viscous, golden oil, as opposed to the white, crystalized form of CBC isolate.CBC isolate can be made from Bulk CBC Distillate by purifying it and subjecting it to a process known as recrystallization, which removes everything and leaves only pure CBC.
So, which is preferable: CBC Isolate or CBC Distillate?
After explaining the differences, you may be wondering which one to purchase. CBC isolate is pure, which means it contains no other cannabinoids; however, distillate does contain other cannabinoids. The full-spectrum distillate is the most effective because the different cannabinoids work synergistically together rather than just one by itself; this is known as the Entourage Effect. This carousel post contains some quick facts about the Entourage Effect. We at Bona Voluntate believe that distillate is always the best option. We don’t sell any ingestible or sublingual products that contain only isolate because we know they don’t work as well.
Our Soothe Tincture is a tried and true sublingual tincture. The majority of regular consumers report better sleep, easier unwinding before bedtime, improved mood, easing of sore muscles, and an overall sense of lower stress levels when using tinctures. Our Soothe Tincture is the most gentle of our tinctures, containing only Bulk CBC Distillate.
If you’re nervous about trying something that contains trace amounts of other cannabinoids (such as THC, CBG, and so on), we recommend starting with a topical. Although topicals do not enter the bloodstream, they can effectively relax tired, aching muscles. This would be a good first step for someone who is hesitant to consume other cannabinoids. We have a great topical option that only uses CBC isolate, making it ideal for beginners!

How Do You Take CBC?
There are smokables, ingestibles, and topicals to choose from. Smokables are the fastest to feel the effects of CBC, ingestibles are the easiest but take longer to feel the effects; and topicals are typically used for localized pain relief. You can try any of the three forms to see which one works best for your goal and needs.
