Cannabidiol in Propylene Glycol

What is propylene glycol cannabidiol? Well, cannabidiol, also known as CBD oil, is a relaxing substance extracted from hemp. Here, it is mixed with propylene glycol, a syrupy liquid with solvent properties, so it can blend well with other ingredients.

Where do we get this ingredient?

Lush purchases a blend of 30% CBD and 70% propylene glycol produced in the UK. Highly regulated and controlled, each batch is tested to ensure it doesn’t contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), hemp’s naturally occurring compound that famously creates a ‘high’. Propylene glycol originates from the UK, while CBD is extracted from hemp grown in Switzerland.

What are the benefits of CBD oil in propylene glycol?

• Slightly floral and herbaceous aroma.
• May calm the mood when inhaled.
• Merges well with other aromatic oils thanks to propylene glycol.

What is cannabidiol?

Cannabidiol and CBD oil are the same thing. It is a natural compound extracted from hemp, a flowering plant also known as Cannabis sativa. Branched varieties of hemp are cultivated for their fibres and the rich oil in their seeds, whereas its more aromatic varieties can be turned into recreational drugs. Unlike THC, CBD is a non-addictive and non-intoxicating substance.
