The science behind the format
Formulation is where a cannabinoid stops being an ingredient and becomes a product. This is the part of the business we invest in most.
100%
Lots laboratory tested
Cannabinoids are lipophilic — they associate with fats rather than water. Cocoa butter is a fat, which makes it a natural medium to carry them. Working the extract into the cocoa butter itself, rather than adding it to finished chocolate, is what allows even distribution at low doses.
A cannabinoid extract added to finished chocolate can appear mixed while remaining unevenly distributed at a smaller scale — and a moulding cavity is a small scale. Incorporating the extract into the fat phase gives the active ingredient a medium it genuinely disperses into rather than one it is merely suspended in. It adds a manufacturing step in order to remove a source of variability, which is usually a good trade.
Low-dose formats are harder to manufacture than high-dose ones. Manufacturing tolerance is proportional, not absolute: an error that is invisible on a 10 mg unit is ten times as significant on a 1 mg one. Precision at 1 mg is a deliberate technical choice, not a limitation.
0 to 9.5 mg a piece, depending on the collection.
Paired with THC in MICRO ZEN, ZEN DARK and BYTE.
Paired with THC in MICRO ZEST; alone in ZERO ZEST.
THC and CBD are the two most familiar cannabinoids, but they are not the only ones. CBG, used across MICRO ZEST and carried to 20 mg a piece in ZERO ZEST, brings its own solubility and stability characteristics. Every additional cannabinoid in a formulation is another set of variables to solve for and verify.
Everything above describes a fat phase. XTRACT, under our Infyn Extracts brand, has no fat phase at all: it is a standardised uncoated oral tablet carrying 9.5 mg of THC, with no dropper, no measuring step and no hardware. A compressed solid cannot rely on dispersion into cocoa butter, so uniformity has to be won in the blend and in the compression instead. Different carrier, same question: will tablet one thousand carry what tablet one carried?
A formulation capability that only works in one medium is a recipe. The reason we describe cocoa butter chemistry and tablet compression on the same page is that the discipline underneath them — fix the constraint, build the unit, verify by analysis, lock the process — does not change between them.
Process control gets you to a product you believe is right. Laboratory analysis is what confirms it.
Every lot is tested by a laboratory licensed for the purpose. The certificate of analysis is the record of what was actually produced rather than what was intended, and it is held on file as part of our lot documentation.
Questions
A cannabinoid incorporated into the cocoa butter phase itself, rather than added to finished chocolate. Cannabinoids are lipophilic, so building them into the fat is what allows even distribution at low doses.
Because it can appear mixed while remaining unevenly distributed at a smaller scale — and a moulding cavity is a small scale. Working the extract into the fat phase adds a manufacturing step in order to remove a source of variability.
A cannabinoid distinct from THC and CBD, present in much smaller amounts in most plant material, which is part of why it appears less often in finished products. It carries its own solubility and stability characteristics, so every formulation using it has to be solved again from the beginning.
A tablet is a compressed solid with no fat phase to disperse into, so uniformity has to be won in the powder blend and held through compression. Different carrier, same acceptance criterion.
