Howdy folks! Today we’ve got another addition to our product line-up that we think you’ll enjoy. 
This is one we’ve received many requests for lately…
<h2><a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-gummies">Penguin CBD Sleep Gummies</a></h2>
That’s right! It’s our classic gummy worm recipe, except now it features 5mg of melatonin per gummy.
In case you aren’t aware, melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that our bodies naturally produce to help us regulate our sleep-wake cycle. Many people take it as a supplement to help them rest better at night.
The sleep-improving qualities of melatonin are only boosted when partnered with CBD. They are a potent combination that go together like peanut butter and jelly. Or peanut butter and chocolate. Or peanut butter and a lot of things.
As with our regular gummies, they also have 10mg of CBD isolate per gummy, and come in a jar with 30 gummies total. Same great taste too!
So when you’re ready to catch some quality ZZZ’s and wake up refreshed in the morning, give our new <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-gummies">Penguin CBD Sleep Gummies</a> a try!

Our classic CBD gummies, now with added melatonin for better sleep!

Penguin Proudly Presents Its New Sleep Gummies

The passage of the 2018 Farm Bill led to the explosive growth of the CBD industry; however, it didn’t exactly clarify the federal legalities surrounding CBD. What the Farm Bill did do was remove hemp and any other cannabis derivatives with low amounts of THC (under 0.3 percent to be precise) from being defined as marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act.
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) still has regulatory authority over hemp products—including CBD. One of the main difficulties right now in the CBD industry is that the FDA hasn’t made any final <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/public-health-focus/fda-regulation-cannabis-and-cannabis-derived-products-including-cannabidiol-cbd">determinations</a> on the legality of CBD as a supplement, even while it has approved the use of synthetic cannabinoid drugs (e.g., Epidiolex and Marinol). 
Then why are so many websites, corner stores, mini-marts and boutiques selling CBD products, you might ask. Well, as far as online sales go, the FDA has taken a bit of a hands-off approach (except for monitoring “claims”), while waiting for a final determination. This is why at <a href="https://penguincbd.com/">Penguin</a>, we are dedicated to transparency, getting our products tested and making those tests available for everyone to see.
<h2>Why Is It Important to Have Third-Party Lab Analysis?</h2>
The first reason any company selling CBD should have an independent, third-party analysis done for each CBD product they sell is to ensure that it conforms to the mandated ≤0.3 percent THC content that removes CBD from the CSA schedule. 
CBD derived from hemp has been removed from the CSA schedule—but THC remains on the list. Your state may have legalized medical cannabis (containing THC as well as CBD and other cannabinoids), but the federal status is different—and we are still waiting for regulations and clear guidelines. 
Since the FDA has not yet provided regulations or even guidelines, third-party testing allows companies to <a href="https://penguincbd.com/lab-reports">prove</a> that their product:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Contains ≤0.3% THC</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Contains the levels of CBD and/or other cannabinoids listed on the label</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Does not contain pesticides, microbial contaminants, residual solvents or heavy metals that could harm the consumer</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Provides assurances that the consumer’s health is a priority</li>
</ul>
What does transparency really mean? It means a commitment that the company is open, honest and authentic about its products. We want you to know that “what you see is what you get”! 
We use nothing but the best ingredients, inspired by Mother Nature. Our CBD is pure, non-GMO and pesticide-free. Part of that process of transparency is that we make our lab reports accessible—right <a href="https://penguincbd.com/lab-reports">here</a>. 
You can see the reports on our products, including CBD oils, gummies, creams and capsules. Alternatively, you can use the QR code. Our grower in Oregon doesn’t use GMO seeds or pesticides. They use sustainable farm practices, and for many people, that is important, because caring about what goes into farm practices reflects on us, and on how we think of our planet! Transparency also means that we want you to get the freshest product possible, using a CO2 extraction process that preserves all the cannabinoids and terpenes yet allows for an efficient removal of THC. 
<h2>Reading Our Lab Reports</h2>
To someone who has read lab reports most of their life, these are straightforward reports. However, if you are not used to them (and after all, most people aren’t chemists), they can be a bit overwhelming. So, let’s go through a sample lab report, step by step.
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/8479/7778/files/image1_292f2277-878c-41e9-a33f-59e91401d2d3_480x480.png?v=1617920616" alt="">
This is a report on <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-capsules">capsules</a>. Here is the top part of the Certificate of Analysis (CoA). It lists the lab doing the testing, the identification and sample numbers, and some basic information, including when the sample was collected, received and analyzed. 
NT means “not tested”; ND means “not detected.” Moisture, water levels and total terpenes were not tested in this sample. 
Note that the sample was collected, received by the lab and tested all in the same day! That ensures that the product you get is fresh—CBD products are generally stable for about a year, but as with many plant-derived products, the fresher it is, the better.
The second column lists Δ-9THC—the main chemical form of THC. None was detected. We’ll talk further about limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) in a bit. You will see in the next figure that several different forms of cannabinoids—including different forms of THC—were tested, all of them below the LOD.
This part of the CoA also lists the total amount of CBD in the whole bottle (310.2 mg per unit—the bottle) and 10.34 mg per serving (in this case, in every capsule). It also tells you the total amount of cannabinoids in both the bottle (328.45 mg/unit) and in each capsule (10.95mg/serving). 
This tells you that most of the cannabinoids in this sample consisted of CBD—in each capsule, only 0.61mg was any of over 100 different cannabinoids found in hemp. It’s not an isolate, but is over 94 percent pure CBD. 
Next, we have a summary of results. 
At the left is the list of tests performed, the methods used to perform the test, the date the tests were performed and whether the batch passed or not. It did! You never want to see anything other than a “Pass” or “Complete.” Then comes a picture of the product and a QR to scan if you want another way to get the results. 
Beneath that is the “complete” list of the cannabinoids tested (analytes), the LOQ, LOD, percentage by mass, the milligrams of each cannabinoid per gram of material and the milligrams of each analyte in the whole bottle. 
Now come the LOD and the LOQ. The LOD is the lowest amount of an analyte that can be reliably determined, while the LOQ is the lowest amount of an analyte that can be reliably quantified. The difference is a bit technical—but what you should be looking for in those components you do not want in your product is that they are below the limits of detection: the LOD. 
In the test example given here, all the major metabolites of THC were below the LOD. The CBD came in at 15.97 mg per gram of material tested and at 310.20 mg in the whole bottle. Since there are 30 capsules (servings) in the whole bottle, that means 310.20 mg/30 capsules = 10.34mg/capsule.
Terpenes were not tested in this sample. Notice that the lab director’s signature appears on every page. Also provided are a phone number and email address if you have any questions about your lab report.
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/8479/7778/files/image2_480x480.png?v=1617920663" alt="">
The next page provides an analysis of residual solvents, heavy metal screening and testing for microbes. 
It is important that the products you buy are not contaminated with anything that nature herself hasn’t put into the hemp plant. Let’s take a look at two of the solvents from the list—benzene and ethylene oxide. 
Benzene is used by some companies to extract CBD, but <a href="https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=37&amp;tid=14">benzene</a> is a known carcinogen (a cancer-causing agent). Another common substance used as a pesticide and as a disinfectant is ethylene oxide, which is also used in antifreeze for your car. The EPA has determined that <a href="https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/ethylene-oxide.pdf">ethylene oxide</a> is also a carcinogen.
Heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are toxic and can be found in soils. Testing for these is important because the hemp plant could incorporate these heavy metals from the soil it is grown in—and we want to ensure that doesn’t happen!
It is critical to test for microbials and microbial toxins too. We inspect the plants for signs of mold or fungal growth, but it can be difficult to catch an early infestation…or to catch any bacterial growth. So, we test for the most likely types of mold—Aspergillus, shiga toxin from the bacteria and E. coli, and for signs of various salmonella, a bacterial species.
Again, in this lab report, all the solvents, heavy metals and microbial products tested negative. 
The residue screening is also important, but not every company will have these chemicals tested! This screens for pesticide residues from two categories, and must be reported if above 0.1 parts per million (ppm). We use no pesticides for growing our hemp, but pesticides can be carried by wind and rainwater, so it is important to know that our plants have not been contaminated with, say, wind blowing in from a neighboring field that does use one or more of these pesticides. Again, our product passed with no pesticides detected at all.
At Penguin, we are dedicated to transparency. We let you see the results of our independent lab testing, and let you know where our hemp plants are grown and how they are grown. Our aim is to provide a pure product and get it to you as quickly as possible so it is as fresh as possible. 
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/8479/7778/files/image3_480x480.png?v=1617920725" alt="">
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/8479/7778/files/image4_480x480.png?v=1617920741" alt="">
<h2>A Few More Details About Testing</h2>
Not all testing results are shown in the same way as the example above. For example, some may express the quantities of solvents as “ppb” or “ppm” (parts per billion and parts per million). All these should be interpreted in similar ways—the results should make it clear that the product either has no detectable substance or passes the test for acceptable limits of the substance.
However, there are some points that every analysis should contain:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">You should clearly see that the level of THC is ≤ 0.3 percent THC to conform to federal law. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">You should clearly see that individual solvents, chemicals, heavy metals and mycotoxins show “pass.” The standards for what passes may differ from state to state. By some accounts, the California standards are the highest—at least for the number of pesticides required to be tested. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">You should clearly see that the amount of CBD in the entire container matches what is listed on the label, and that the amount of CBD per serving matches that listed on the label. Both of these should be within 10 percent of the actual amounts. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Any lab analysis should be done in an ISO17025 accredited facility. This is essentially a certification process indicating the lab has people with the knowledge and training to know what they are doing and are doing it well. All labs should be licensed.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Below is the chart provided for labs in California.</li>
</ul>
<img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0247/8479/7778/files/image5_480x480.png?v=1617920768" alt="">

Customers always deserve to see accurate and unbiased lab results before they buy CBD products. Here we talk about our dedication to maintaining transparency.

Penguin CBD Reveals New Ultra High Potency 5,000mg Strength Oil

Cannabidiol (<a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/what-is-cbd">CBD</a>) is available in several different strains. These strains have different scents, and thus they give you different experiences. The most common scents include berry, mint and pine. 
Cannabis itself has a unique scent, which many find overwhelming, though others may find this smell quite enjoyable and even calming. Like any other plant, cannabis has various components that contribute to its flavor and aroma. These components are called terpenes. 
Terpenes come from small resin glands in cannabis flowers. Some terpenes contribute to a citrus-like aroma in certain cannabis strains; others lead to sweet, fruity tones. You might find cannabis with terpenes that have a lavender-like scent or something earthier and more pungent. Some strains might even remind you of cheese!
The cannabis plant has around 80 to 100 terpenes that are unique to it. With the cannabinoids and other chemicals combining in just the right way, it’s no surprise that the cannabis plant is gaining so much success in the market. 
<h2>About Terpenes</h2>
Terpenes have played a vital role in your life even if you didn’t realize it. Briefly, terpenes are what make an orange or lemon smell citrusy, or a pinecone smell so clean and fresh. If your lavender bath salts relax you, it’s the terpenes working their magic. 
We may think of terpenes as the chemicals inside a growing thing that determine what kind of smell they have. They also help determine the properties and qualities of these plants.
While the cannabinoids are important, terpenes play an influential role in the properties of cannabis. Both these elements work together in cannabis, a phenomenon called the entourage effect. This means that <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/thc">THC</a>, CBD and other cannabinoids all work together with many other compounds, including terpenes, to give you a more holistic experience. 
While a THC- or CBD-based oil will provide you with some of the effects you desire, it’s probably much more effective to look at whole-plant therapy. After all, using the whole plant has been the most common way up till now. We need to take a close look at using all the terpenes and other compounds in the cannabis plant. 
Terpenes can also downplay or intensify cannabinoid effects. If you’ve used cannabis strains fairly frequently, you might have noticed that two seemingly similar strains produce different results. One might give you a boost of energy, while the other might mellow you out. This is just another aspect of the combined entourage effect from both terpenes and cannabinoids. 
<h2>Charting Terpenes</h2>
As of now, we are aware of roughly 20,000 terpenes in various plants. Cannabis contains over a hundred of these. Many terpenes that are present in cannabis are also present in several other places in nature. However, a few terpenes in the cannabis plant are unique due to their high concentrations. Below, we’ll discuss the most relevant of these.
<h3>Myrcene Terpene</h3>
Myrcene is found in fruits like mangos, and is the primary terpene you can find in cannabis. In some plants, myrcene makes up around 65 percent of their terpene content. 
Whether myrcene is present or not determines whether we can call a strain sativa or indica. More than 0.5 percent myrcene makes the plant indica, while less than that indicates sativa. This terpene is what gives marijuana its unique aroma as well as its famous relaxing properties.
<h3>Limonene Terpene</h3>
This is the terpene with the second-highest levels in cannabis. It’s also found in many citrus fruits and contributes to that distinctive citrusy scent. It may not be present in every cannabis strain, though. 
The limonene terpene has extraordinary properties, including antifungal and antibacterial elements. Because of its delightful scent, you will find it in many cosmetics and cleaning products. Many people use strains with this terpene to lower their stress levels and enhance their mood.
<h3>Pinene Terpene</h3>
The name of this terpene gives us a hint about its smell. That’s right, we can find elevated levels of pinene terpenes in pine trees. This is where the pine needles get their fragrance. 
This particular terpene is available in two varieties: alpha and beta. The alpha is what creates that unique pine scent. The beta version gives us a rosemary-like scent or one that’s reminiscent of parsley or dill. Pinene has been used in herbal treatments for centuries. 
<h3>Linalool Terpene</h3>
This terpene gives lavender its <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181023085648.htm">relaxing</a> effects, and is what makes lavender so popular for stress relief. Linalool also helps to lift moods and enhance the sense of wellness. 
<h3>Caryophyllene Terpene</h3>
This is a terpene with a peppery, woody, spicy scent. It’s found in substances like cinnamon and pepper. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5402865/">Studies</a> indicate that this humble terpene can be instrumental in improving health. 
<h3>Humulene Terpene</h3>
Several cannabis strains help with boosting appetite. However, strains with humulene have the opposite effect. Therefore, you should look up <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil">where to buy CBD oil</a> with or without humulene if this would be an issue for you. In nature, this terpene is found in substances like basil, cloves and hops.
Cannabis has around a hundred terpenes, all with unique effects. With the right cultivation of strains with certain terpenes, growers achieve specially tailored strains to provide certain benefits. 
<h2>The Difference Between Terpenes and Cannabinoids </h2>
We now know that terpenes and cannabinoids work together in the cannabis plant. But what are the actual differences between the two? The names of these two components are buzzwords in the cannabis industry, and each has its own purpose. While the two may be similar in some respects, they're also quite different. 
Most people know of cannabinoids, though they may not have heard of terpenes. More than 60 of the compounds in cannabis consist of cannabinoids. We can find the phytocannabinoids in the plant’s female buds. These interact with the human body’s cannabinoid system receptors. 
Terpenes are what give a plant its flavor and distinctive scent. Every cannabis strain has its own terpene profile that works with its cannabinoids. 
<h2>The Location of Cannabinoids and Terpenes</h2>
Cannabinoids are the chemical compounds that come from cannabis and hemp. These interact directly with our <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/endocannabinoid-system">endocannabinoid</a> receptors. They’re developed in the resin glands or the trichomes of the cannabis plant. This means they’re present in both the flowers and the leaves. 
The aroma compounds called terpenes are also developed in the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. They’re hydrocarbons that are also available in the essential oils of any plant.
<h2>More About the Entourage Effect</h2>
The entourage effect occurs when the cannabinoids and terpenes of the cannabis plant work together. The entourage effect refers to a belief that we can get the full benefits of using cannabis by utilizing all or most of its compounds. As many of these natural components as possible should be present. This creates an optimal product and gives you the best CBD experience.
However, some might want to completely avoid the THC found in full-spectrum CBD products, for obvious reasons. That’s why broad-spectrum CBD has risen in popularity.
If you go to a reputable CBD oil manufacturer, you can be sure that they’re careful about making their products. The extraction, harvesting and growth all play a significant role in retaining that natural balance. If you want to be sure you’re getting the entourage effect, you should check out the third-party lab reports of a brand’s products. These should show a strong terpene and cannabinoid profile. 
<h2>The Interaction of Terpenes With CBD</h2>
When terpenes interact with CBD oils, the result could be too complicated to predict accurately. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the research is still ongoing. 
Terpenes might also help CBD to get through the whole body and give its maximum effect. If the terpene has a pharmacokinetic effect, the availability of CBD oil will probably get a boost. This makes it easier for them to penetrate hard-to-reach tissues, especially the brain. 
<h2>Adding Terpenes to CBD</h2>
Some experienced cannabis users might consider adding terpenes to CBD oil to get the experience they desire. 
It’s possible to accomplish this by purchasing pure terpenes online and adding them to your CBD oils. Some terpene formulations may also fit your specific needs. Usually, you’ll only need to add a few drops to a whole bottle. However, you have to be careful about following the company-provided terpene guide. Like essential oils, terpenes aren’t for undiluted consumption. 
<h2>The Takeaway</h2>
Using cannabis effectively means that we have to understand all of its components. With terpenes playing such a vital role, cannabis enthusiasts should read up on them before utilizing them for a customized effect. 
Scientific studies are seeing rapid breakthroughs in this area. It’s time to get familiar with terpenes and see how they can make your CBD experience the best possible. However, it’s wise to conduct ample research before choosing the right terpenes to add to your CBD oil. Also, you should confirm the dosage with your doctor before combining terpenes with CBD.

CBD is made stronger when combined with other hemp compounds, including terpenes. Here we look at the various types of terpenes and how they work together with CBD.

How Terpenes Enhance Your CBD Experience

When it comes to CBD oil, the terms “base oil” or “carrier oil” might be familiar. You’ve probably seen them while browsing for CBD oil online.
So, what is a carrier oil?
To put it simply, a carrier oil is any oil ingredient added to help carry the CBD into your system. Carrier oils allow the CBD extract to be more effectively absorbed in your body.
Most companies that make <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil">CBD oil for sale</a> choose a specific carrier oil to help aid in the absorption of CBD. 
<h2>Benefits of using CBD oil products </h2>
There are a number of CBD oil products in the market, each with its own benefits.
For instance, some products can help you relax and ease your worries. This could be due to the carrier oils and ingredients used, which can have relaxing and calming qualities. Other CBD products have carrier oils that give you a boost of energy and help you focus throughout your day.
That’s why it’s always important to learn what kind of carrier oil is being used in a product before buying it. You want to make sure to pick the one that’s best suited to your individual needs.
<h2>Qualities of the Best CBD Carrier Oils</h2>
The main determinant for carrier oils is bioavailability. This is how much your body can absorb in relation to the amount you take in, and is determined by the types of molecules the carrier oil is composed of. Different types of fat molecules transport CBD differently in your body. The oils vary in terms of flavor, cost and consistency.
<h2>Reasons to Use Carrier Oils</h2>
There are three main reasons why carrier oils are used:
<h3>Increase the absorption rate of CBD</h3>
CBD compounds fuse with the fat molecules when mixed with oil, increasing the bioavailability of CBD. Once you take it, the body can easily break down the oil and deliver the CBD to your cells. 
<h3>Advantages</h3>
Some carrier oils offer different health benefits. However, the benefits depend on the type of plant the oil comes from, the fatty acids the oil contains, how the oil is obtained and the processing method. 
<h3>Dosing Simplification</h3>
By using carrier oils, it becomes simpler to <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/cbd-dosage-guide">accurately measure doses</a> without the use of special equipment. The CBD is dissolved evenly in the oil, and graduated droppers can help you measure the amount of CBD in each drop. 
<h2>Popular CBD Carrier oils</h2>
<h3>Olive Oil</h3>
Olive oil is considered one of the healthiest oils. As a CBD carrier oil, it is thick and has a strong fruity flavor. It takes longer for the body to break down the oil, which means less CBD is absorbed. On the plus side, olive oil is packed with antioxidants and vitamins.
<h3>Fractionated Coconut Oil (MCT Oil)</h3>
Coconut oil is considered one of the best carrier oils for several reasons. The oil is thin, making it easy to measure. When refined, the flavor is barely noticeable, making it ideal for making broad- and <a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/full-spectrum-cbd-oil">full-spectrum tinctures</a>.
Unrefined coconut oil tastes and smells like a coconut. Coconut oil has natural anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial qualities. It is called fractionated because the medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are isolated from the long-chain fats, increasing the absorption rate. 
It is important to note that MCT oil can be obtained from different types of oil. The term mainly refers to the type of fat molecules and not the oil source. MCT fats can be directly absorbed into the body from the liver. 
<h3>Fractionated Palm Oil</h3>
Palm oil is similar to coconut oil in several aspects. It has a barely noticeable scent, and an earthy flavor similar to pumpkin-seed oil. The oil is affordable, has a high absorption rate and is long-lasting when stored correctly. When looking for palm oil CBD products, ensure the palm oil comes from eco-friendly sources. 
<h3>Avocado Oil</h3>
Avocado oil, like olive oil, has high levels of oleic acid, and it is thick and has a nutty taste. It can be used to increase the viscosity of CBD oils. It is rich in vitamins A, D and E, and is best for topical applications because of its slow drying time. Avocado oil is one of the more expensive carrier oils.
<h3>Hempseed Oil</h3>
Most people think that hempseed oil should be the ideal carrier oil for CBD products. However, this is not the case, as it is inefficient on its own and has to be mixed with other oils with higher levels of bioavailability to increase its efficacy. 
You can find hempseed oil in full-spectrum tinctures. The oil has some components that complement CBD, so it is often mixed with other carrier oils. Most manufacturers making CBD use hempseed oil in their CBD oil tinctures.
Hempseed oil has a mild nutty taste and has various skin-health benefits. Due to the skin benefits, hempseed oil is often mixed with other ingredients to make CBD balms. 
<h3>Grapeseed Oil</h3>
Even though grapeseed oil is known for use in perfumes, it is also used as a CBD carrier oil. Other than being convenient and affordable, grapeseed oil has other qualities that make it ideal as a CBD carrier oil. It is rich in omega-6 fatty acids, and most of the fat content is made of polyunsaturated fats, making it a healthy option. 
<h3>Pomegranate Seed Oil</h3>
Pomegranate seed oil is full of antioxidants, which makes it popular for making CBD tinctures, <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-capsules">capsules</a> and other products. This oil tastes like balsamic vinegar, with a touch of fruity sweetness. 
<h3>Pumpkin Seed Oil</h3>
Pumpkin seed oil is aromatic and has a rich nutty flavor and a pleasant taste that does not overpower the taste buds. The oil has anti-inflammatory qualities and is packed with vitamins. Pumpkin seed oil falls under the list of healthy oils and is mainly used for tinctures and capsules. 
<h3>Sunflower Seed Oil</h3>
Sunflower seed oil is a popular carrier oil since it is affordable and widely available. The oil is rich in vitamin E and is beneficial for the skin. It has skin-health-boosting qualities, making it ideal for CBD balms. 
Sunflower seed oil usually has the original scent of sunflower seeds and has a mild flavor that makes it ideal for CBD oil tinctures and capsules. 
<h3>Vegetable Glycerine (VG)</h3>
This is technically not a carrier oil, even though it has similarities to carrier oils. It is obtained from the triglycerides contained in carrier oils and can be added to CBD tinctures to dilute the CBD. Vegetable glycerine is made by removing fatty acid molecules and leaving pure glycerol behind. The glycerol has a sweet taste and has a high solvency rate for CBD and other fat-soluble compounds. 
Vegetable glycerine is popular with CBD oils because of its pleasant taste, and is also the main ingredient in vape oils since it creates thick fumes when exposed to heat. Due to its sticky nature, it is one of the key ingredients when making <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-gummies">CBD gummies</a>. 
<h3>Arnica Oil</h3>
Arnica oil is a carrier oil used to make topical CBD products. However, it should not be ingested as it is toxic.
<h2>Safety Precautions When Using Carrier Oils</h2>
Most people do not have any adverse reactions when it comes to carrier oils. However, you need to pay attention to the source of the carrier oil, especially if you have any allergies.
If you are taking medication or have an underlying medical condition, you need to consult your physician before you start taking CBD products. 
If you are using topical products, you need to pay attention to your reaction and discontinue using them if you experience any skin reactions. Some topical skin products contain essential oils. You should ensure you are not allergic to the oils and watch for side effects. Essential oils are highly concentrated and can be toxic when used in the wrong quantities. 
Also, when buying CBD oil products, ensure you buy from trusted manufacturers who make CBD that is safe. Unscrupulous companies looking to make a quick buck sometimes put out poor CBD products that are not safe for use. 
<h2>Wrap up</h2>
Carrier oils are important, as they help with the absorption of CBD oil.
