Currently, on the hemp market, apart from a wide selection of CBD oils, hemp tea or capsules containing cannabidiol, CBD crystal appears more and more often.
Crystal-clear cannabidiol, i.e. CBD, is one of the most interesting products that has a wide application potential.
Are you wondering what the mysterious sounding CBD crystal is, how to use it and how it differs from popular CBD oils?
What is a CBD crystal?
We often mention that there are over 500 chemical substances with different effects in hemp. Among them, we can distinguish about 200 different terpenes, 12 fatty acids, and about 100 cannabinoids, such as CBD.
Apart from cannabidiol, CBD hemp oil contains other substances found in hemp flowers. Although CBD is in the highest concentration, it is not their only ingredient. However, the case of crystals is different. CBD crystal is also called CBD isolate because it is one of the purest forms of cannabidiol – approximately 99% pure.
CBD isolate is an extracted, pure form of this cannabinoid, which is obtained in a laboratory process. To put it simply – CBD is separated from other substances contained in hemp, and the final product is a transparent crystal with a light color.
Thanks to this, the crystal is an ideal form for people who want to take only CBD in the purest form, due to e.g. allergies to other ingredients contained in hemp or medical recommendations.
CBD crystal – how to use?
We all know how CBD works, so the crystal, i.e. CBD isolate, which is the purest form of cannabidiol, will have exactly the same properties.
However, it should be remembered that the concentration of up to 99% CBD makes it a stronger agent than e.g. cbd oils. Therefore, crystal can be used in several different ways, from vaporization to enriching other products with it. CBD isolate is the most popular agent used in the production of CBD cosmetics.
Due to the fact that it is a compound that dissolves well in fats and oils, it is perfect as an addition to various creams, lotions or conditioners. Even at home, we can enrich any cosmetic with CBD.
The crystal should be heated so that it turns into a liquid form, and then mix it well in any cream or lotion.
Another way to take CBD is by steam inhalation, i.e. vaporization.
To be able to use the crystal for vaporization, a special device adapted to the vaporization of concentrates is required. As a rule, there are vaporizers on the market designed for smoking dried hemp, which, unfortunately, will not be useful for the crystal.
Crystal vaporization works in a very simple way. When heated, the crystal changes its form to liquid, and then steam is produced from it, which we absorb. Crystal can even be used as a food additive. It combines particularly well with fats, so it will be an ideal addition to previously prepared butter or simply as an ingredient of oils.
The method of combining the crystal with food products is exactly the same as in the case of cosmetics or vaporization. The crystal needs to be heated to transform from a solid to a liquid form. Only then, when mixed with oil or butter, it will fulfill its task. However, not every crystal has been properly prepared to be used as a food ingredient. Remember to read the information on the product and find out what the seller recommends using the crystal for.
