Why is CBD so expensive? We'll explain.
CBD products are more popular today than ever before. Whether for sports enthusiasts, people with a health-conscious lifestyle or fans of the green herb - the demand for CBD is constantly increasing. But CBD is often associated with high prices. Why is that? We at HempCrew have taken a closer look at this and explain to you which factors influence the costs.
Trend factor – Is the hype to blame for the prices?
It's true that CBD and hemp products have been experiencing a real boom for several years. They have established themselves in many areas of everyday life and are enjoying increasing popularity. But the increased demand does not automatically result in higher prices - in fact, the prices of CBD products have even fallen slightly in recent months due to the great competition. The real reason for the prices lies deeper and is related to the quality of the products.
Quality makes the difference
As with many natural products, the same applies to CBD: quality has its price. High-quality CBD oil contains full-spectrum hemp extract, which, unlike cheaper CBD isolates, preserves all the valuable components of the hemp plant. At HempCrew, we only use premium ingredients and well-thought-out packaging - our CBD oils are delivered in high-quality violet glass bottles that optimally preserve the shelf life and bioenergy of the product. But what exactly is behind the pricing? The answer lies in three crucial factors: the hemp plant, the extraction process and the end product.
The 3 decisive factors for the cost of CBD
1. The hemp plant – quality starts with cultivation
The quality of a CBD product begins with the selection of the raw material. Only high-quality industrial hemp meets the strict EU standards and is cultivated without the use of pesticides. Such hemp is more expensive than inferior alternatives that may contain harmful substances. At HempCrew, we only use industrial hemp from the EU, which is grown and controlled under strict conditions. This way, we can ensure that our hemp meets the highest quality standards and is free of harmful residues.
2. The extraction process – The difference lies in the method
The method used to extract CBD from the hemp plant has a major impact on the quality - and cost - of the final product. Lower-quality CBD products often use ethanol extraction, which uses ethanol as a solvent. However, this method can leave behind residues such as chlorophyll or alcohol that are harmful to health and compromises the quality of the final product.
We therefore rely on CO2 extraction, which is considered the gold standard for extracting CBD. This method produces high-quality, clean products that preserve the full spectrum of the hemp plant - including all valuable cannabinoids and terpenes. Since this process is more complex and time-consuming, it is also more expensive than ethanol extraction. But the investment is worth it: CO2-extracted CBD is not only more effective, but also safe and sustainable.
3. The final product – premium ingredients and high-quality packaging
In the end, the end product determines the quality - and the price. In addition to the hemp extract itself, the other ingredients and the packaging also play an important role. With us you will find CBD oils that are combined with high-quality carrier oils such as organic hemp seed oil from Styria or MCT oil. Our unique flavors are created by adding natural essential oils and offer a mild, pleasant alternative to artificial flavorings.
Our products are bottled in violet glass bottles, which protect the CBD from light and increase shelf life. Unlike many other suppliers, we also guarantee a particularly low THC content of less than 0.03% (guideline: less than 0.2% THC), which makes our oils safe and legal. Quality that you can taste and feel!
Why is the investment worthwhile?
CBD of the highest quality may be more expensive, but the benefits are noticeable. At HempCrew you get not just a product, but a promise of purity, sustainability and the highest quality. With our comprehensive range of 8 different flavors, there is something for everyone - and at a fair price-performance ratio.
