CBD Isolate: This is 99% pure cannabidiol and appears in the form of white crystalline powder. Also, it doesn’t contain other cannabinoids and terpenes.
Terpsolate: Terpsolate is made by combining CBD isolate with liquid terpenes.
Crumble: CBD crumble has a malleable texture, and it is made by removing the oils after the extraction process. This gives it a crumbly texture that easily breaks upon handling.
Shatter: Shatters have a taffy-like texture, i.e. you can pull and snap it like taffy candy.
Wax: As the name indicates, CBD wax has a sticky and waxy form and can be made from full-spectrum CBD extract or CBD isolate.
