water-based cbd oil  is created by combining CBD extract with a natural, food-grade solvent to create a liquid solution. This allows consumers to add the product to almost any drink or meal they’d like, and it can be taken sublingually if desired. Water-soluble products also have the added benefit of having a better taste than their oil-based counterparts, as they don’t use carrier oils with strong flavors.

The reason that “oil and water don’t mix” is a scientific one, and it has to do with the polarity of the two elements. Despite this, there are ways to make oil-based products water-soluble and increase their bioavailability, so that they can be more easily absorbed by the body and begin working within a shorter amount of time.

CBD Water Solubles: The Future of Fast-Acting Cannabidiol Delivery

To produce a water-soluble CBD product, manufacturers employ several different techniques to break the oil down into smaller droplets. Two of the most popular methods are nanoemulsion and microemulsion. Nanoemulsion uses a surfactant to reduce the surface tension between oil and water, resulting in a process known as cavitation. This results in the creation of tiny emulsion droplets that are then surrounded by a liposome, which protects them from degradation and makes it easier for the body to absorb them.

Microemulsion employs a high shear mixer or ultrasound to create microscopic emulsions. The result is a much more homogeneous mixture, allowing for more uniform droplet size and increased bioavailability. This is the method that we use at NextEvo Naturals to create our water soluble CBD products.
