Why We Use Local CO₂ Processing for Our Colorado CBD Products

At Exotic Elephant, our mission is to craft clean, intentional, and powerful CBD products that support your wellness journey. One of the most important choices we’ve made is to use local CO₂ extraction for turning our organically grown Colorado hemp into high-quality CBD. This method not only protects the purity of the plant but also supports our community and the planet.

What Is CO₂ Extraction for Hemp to CBD?

CO₂ extraction is a clean, safe method that uses supercritical carbon dioxide to extract cannabinoids and beneficial plant compounds from hemp—without the use of harmful chemicals or solvents. It’s widely recognized as the gold standard in CBD extraction.

Benefits of CO₂ Extraction

• Chemical-Free: No ethanol, propane, or butane—just clean, residue-free CBD.

• Potent & Pure: Retains the full spectrum of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes.

• Eco-Friendly: CO₂ is recyclable and non-toxic, making this method highly sustainable.

• Preserves Plant Power: Maintains essential plant compounds for enhanced effectiveness (the entourage effect).

• Locally Controlled: All extraction is done in Colorado to ensure quality, freshness, and transparency.

Why Local CO₂ Processing Matters

By using Colorado-based CO₂ extraction partners, Exotic Elephant ensures every batch is processed under our watchful eye. This approach supports local jobs, minimizes shipping emissions, and gives us complete control over our supply chain. You can trust that our products—from CBD bath bombs to CBD tinctures—are as fresh, effective, and ethical as possible.

Better for You. Better for the Planet.

Our commitment to quality and sustainability starts at the source. From seed to CO₂ extraction to finished product, we prioritize transparency and eco-conscious practices to bring you CBD you can truly feel good about.
