Getting back to Nature

As word spreads about its benefits, the number of devotees to the CBD cause grows by
the day. Of course, with this ‘Green Rush’ an army of companies have followed, eager to C
jump on the bandwagon. D)

Unfortunately, in their rush to get in on the act, many have lost sight of what CBD is all
about: Natural healing.

Nature in a bottle

That's why The Botanical Factory has stepped into the CBD
marketplace with a real vigour. It's our aim - our mission - to
reinforce the natural qualities of CBD and to ensure that we bring
the true essence of CBD to our customers.

We passionately believe in the Power of Nature.
We are wholly committed to bringing you as
close as possible to the natural essence of this
ancient and mystical power.

To do this, we are combining the old with the

new. We're using the latest techniques to bring

the purest form of this ancient therapy to you.

We only create CBD products that adhere to

the highest possible practice and standards. a

How we doit

‘CBD’ is short for Cannabidiol, and our farms A if

use the plant that possesses the highest ” —<
concentration of CBD, Cannabis Sativa.

From plant to bottle, every step of our
manufacturing process is transparent. For example, our farms provide a traceable serial
number at every juncture which we routinely check to ensure the highest quality.

Why we're (coco) nuts about CBD
At The Botanical Factory we use MCT as a Carrier oil.
It's a high fat oil (packed with nutritional benefits)
that we extract from organic coconuts.

We specifically chose this golden-brown liquid
because it's clear and odourless, unlike other
brands. This means your CBD experience is
pleasant and natural.

a
X

The real genius bit is this: CBD is fat-soluble so when it's mixed with MCT, the vital
Cannabidiol doesn’t get broken down and wasted in your gut - more of the CBD
goodness reaches your bloodstream!

CO, Extraction: Get more of the good stuff to you
CO, extraction uses pressurized carbon dioxide to suck more of naturally

occurring cannabinoids out of the raw hemp plant material.
You get more of the good stuff, basically.

In a nutshell

As you've read, we think The Botanical Factory offers you a more
natural experience. In today’s world, where we must be sure

that what we are consuming is the very best and from a

trusted source, our CBD offers real peace-of-mind.

We invite you to go to our website and check
