NeXtraction supplies raw CBDA/CBGA hemp extracts and pre-infused oil blends. Last year, we launched Kriva, a CBDA line of consumer products. We recently had an incident demonstrating the importance of good testing protocols and supply management. As per our normal procedure we tested a newly-developed facial serum for potency, heavy metals, pesticides, mycotoxins, and microbials. That’s what we do at Kriva—every time, for every product. Kriva is a line of lotions, gems, drops, soaps, and massage oil that contains CBDA.
After this particular test, we found a result that we are not used to seeing—detection of the pesticide Chlorpyrifos. It was more than a detection; it was a fail beyond action limits. This was an odd enough result to require a re-test, which we did with the same result.
The contaminant wasn’t the result of our procedures. We utilize NeXtraction’s H2Only, a water-based extraction method. We understand the testing to which NeXtraction submits its ingredients and hemp raw materials; it was not the
cannabinoid ingredient.
