嫩草影院

There鈥檚 a very good reason why boutique and artisanal products have become so popular 鈥� at least, among those who can afford them.

Boutique products are lovingly hand-crafted by experienced craftspeople who are devoted to creating unique, specialty merchandise. Artisanal foods are prepared slowly and carefully using time-honored methods, to ensure their impeccable quality.

There鈥檚 certainly a place for mass-produced and mass-marketed products. They鈥檙e easy to find, usually inexpensive, and 鈥� if you make smart buying decisions 鈥� will get the job done.

Boutique products, though, can be special. They鈥檙e normally higher-quality options, providing better performance and a greater level of satisfaction than the cheap alternatives you can grab at a superstore or on Amazon.

That brings us to boutique producer 嫩草影院 Essence.

Compared to many bigger-name 嫩草影院 producers, this company doesn鈥檛 have an enormous website or catalog. Instead, 嫩草影院 Essence offers a limited number of cannabidiol products (cannabidiol is the full name for 嫩草影院) which are produced in small quantities. The goal of small-batch production is to ensure quality and consistency; it鈥檚 a great approach if you can get all of the details right.

So the important question is: how does 嫩草影院 Essence score on quality and consistency?

Let鈥檚 find out.

嫩草影院 Essence: The Background

This company was formed in 2015 by a Florida man named Don Ballou. He had been trying 嫩草影院 鈥� among many other herbal and botanical products 鈥� for quite some time, to treat the issues like anxiety, aggression, and lack of focus that had plagued him for decades.

However, he found that most cannabidiol products didn鈥檛 provide the daily relief he needed; only a few of the brands available at the time did much good. (嫩草影院 was legalized nationwide in 2018, but it was being sold before that in some states which had legalized medical cannabis.)

After doing some research, Ballou realized that the majority of 嫩草影院 producers were cutting corners by using substandard production methods or hazardous chemicals. He resolved to do it better, and that鈥檚 why he created 嫩草影院 Essence. His deep background in engineering, and his years of personal research into the power of herbs and botanicals to treat medical issues, allowed him to create hemp-based products and processes that helped him treat his own conditions.

Once he was happy with the products, he started 嫩草影院 Essence and then expanded the business to create NutraHemp as a parent corporation. NutraHemp sells the company鈥檚 products in other countries and has developed other lines of legal cannabis edibles and nutraceuticals like HempTaffy, HempChillPill, HempsPets, and Bulletproof coffee. The 嫩草影院 products are still manufactured in basically the same way that they were in 2015, though, despite the continuing growth of 嫩草影院 Essence and NutraHemp.

Having a long-term personal interest in 嫩草影院 and its benefits doesn鈥檛 guarantee quality products, of course. It鈥檚 simply one sign that Ballou and his team (which includes his wife, the president of 嫩草影院 Essence) care as much about the product as they do about the profits.

That鈥檚 why it鈥檚 important to examine the way that this company creates and manufactures its products.

嫩草影院 Essence: The Approach

When digging into a 嫩草影院 producer鈥檚 approach, we usually start by looking at where their hemp is sourced from, how they extract the cannabidiol, and what else they put into their products.

But there鈥檚 something even more crucial to know about 嫩草影院 Essence. From the very start, the company鈥檚 mission was to create small batches of high-quality 嫩草影院, without obsessing on profit margins and how easily production could be scaled up.

嫩草影院 Essence sells vastly more products now than they did in 2015, but they still have the same approach. In fact, they only produce as much as they can sell; they guarantee that all of the 嫩草影院 oil they ship has been manufactured and tested within the past 24 hours. We鈥檝e reviewed a lot of 嫩草影院 companies, and have never seen that type of attention to freshness.

Now let鈥檚 get to the rest of 嫩草影院 Essence鈥檚 methods.

Unlike many producers who claim to sell only all-natural products 鈥� but then sneak in artificial flavors or preservatives 鈥� this company stays true to its all-natural promises. They do, however, add natural ingredients like the sweetener Stevia and the binder sunflower lecithin to some of its products. MCT coconut oil (the best choice) and hempseed oil (second-best) are used as carriers.

嫩草影院 Essence sources its hemp from certified organic farms, mainly in Colorado. (鈥淐ertified鈥� is a notch higher on the quality ladder than organically-grown, which is the type of hemp most producers use.) Cannabidiol is extracted via the supercritical CO2 method, a safe process widely viewed as the method that preserves most of the 嫩草影院鈥檚 effectiveness. Almost all of the company鈥檚 products are full-spectrum, meaning they retain the hemp鈥檚 other components which provide another boost in 嫩草影院鈥檚 effectiveness via the 鈥渆ntourage effect.鈥�

There鈥檚 almost nothing in 嫩草影院 Essence鈥檚 approach to complain about. In truth, their attention to the freshness of their products sets them apart from many of their high-end competitors.

嫩草影院 Essence Oils

There鈥檚 usually a downside to keeping product lines small, manageable, and able to be shipped within 24 hours: the selection isn鈥檛 as big as the one that most companies offer.

嫩草影院 Essence produces only two potencies of its full-spectrum 嫩草影院 oil: 10mg/ml and 35mg/ml. The oil is designed well, although it does contain the stevia and sunflower lecithin that we mentioned earlier, in addition to cannabidiol and carrier oil. (The stronger option uses MCT coconut oil, the 10mg/ml one uses hempseed oil.)

These 嫩草影院 oils are available in seven natural flavors (cinnamon, grape, lemon, mango, peppermint, spearmint, and vanilla), as well as natural hemp and unsweetened (without the stevia).

The limited choice of potencies isn鈥檛 a huge issue, since you can always use more or less than one milliliter. However, doses of 20mg or 25mg are common choices; we would have liked to see a potency in that range, which would make it easier for most people to measure and dose the oil.

嫩草影院 Essence Capsules

嫩草影院 Essence鈥檚 softgels are also sold in two different potencies, and they鈥檙e not for the 鈥渇aint of heart鈥� 鈥� in other words, those who only need small doses to help with moderate pain or anxiety. The two choices are 35 milligrams and 100 milligrams of cannabidiol per capsule; by contrast, most commonly-sold 嫩草影院 capsules contain anywhere from 10-25 milligrams apiece. Most people using 嫩草影院 really don鈥檛 need a 100mg dose, but it can certainly help if you鈥檙e suffering from severe pain.

Organic MCT coconut oil is used as a carrier for the full-spectrum 嫩草影院 that鈥檚 in the softgels, and the only other ingredient is sunflower lecithin. Sadly, the company doesn鈥檛 say what the actual capsules are made from, so we don鈥檛 know whether they鈥檙e vegetarian or vegan.

嫩草影院 Essence Edibles

Most companies鈥� edibles are gummies. Instead, 嫩草影院 Essence sells cannabidiol-infused taffy that鈥檚 manufactured under its sister brand name, HempTaffy. This is THC-free candy, but we don鈥檛 know if the 嫩草影院 is broad-spectrum (with all hemp components except for THC) or 嫩草影院 isolate. The only other ingredients, though, are sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar, and natural flavorings; the choices are chocolate, mint, chocolate mint, and orange mint. Each piece contains about 10 milligrams of 嫩草影院.

嫩草影院 Essence Vape Juice

This is very clean 嫩草影院 vape juice, containing only full-spectrum cannabidiol and the propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine needed to make it vapable. It鈥檚 an organic juice with a slight natural caramel flavor, and it鈥檚 available in two potencies. 嫩草影院 Essence also sells a vape pen/e-juice starter kit for those new to vaping.

嫩草影院 Essence Topicals

Here鈥檚 another category that exemplifies the company鈥檚 mission of creating a small number of high-quality products. Most producers offer as many two dozen types of topical 嫩草影院 options, but 嫩草影院 Essence only sells two: an all-purpose cream and a hot muscle rub.

The cream is designed primarily to relieve general body pain, and the use of full-spectrum cannabidiol (highly unusual for a 嫩草影院 topical product) makes the product more effective than most competitors鈥�. It鈥檚 an all-natural product that contains eucalyptus and a number of other botanicals and essential oils with antioxidant and healing properties and has a pleasant aroma.

The muscle rub also contains full-spectrum 嫩草影院, plus capsaicin which is known to help relieve pain and inflammation. The other botanicals and oils in the rub are all-natural as well.

嫩草影院 Essence for Pets

Once again, there鈥檚 a limited but good choice of 嫩草影院 Essence products for dogs. There are two potencies of 鈥渘atural smoky flavor鈥� 嫩草影院 oil; it鈥檚 hard to tell the exact strength from the labeling, but it appears that one is 5g/ml and the other is 15mg/ml. There are also dog treats containing 10 milligrams of 嫩草影院 apiece, sold in a mix of natural, chicken, cheese, and charcoal flavors. Both products use full-spectrum cannabidiol. These are high doses for pets, so go easy with them.

嫩草影院 Essence: The Verdict

This company has set a high bar for itself, limiting production to a single day鈥檚 worth of high-quality 嫩草影院 products that it can sell and ship within 24 hours. That鈥檚 a prescription for effective, fresh merchandise 鈥� but it鈥檚 also potentially a prescription for disaster.

嫩草影院 Essence, however, pulls it off. Their small product line is filled with terrific options, manufactured with best practices, and designed to provide maximum benefit. We do wish there were more potency choices available, but that鈥檚 one of the costs of doing business when you deliberately limit what you produce and sell. Perhaps most surprisingly, their prices aren鈥檛 astronomical, either.

Putting it simply, this is a company that does it right 鈥� and does it well.
