At Naturalpes we work with the best Swiss growers and laboratories to guarantee the traceability, safety and quality of our CBD products.

We work with a Valais laboratory that shares our values, vision and rigor. It is located less than 40km from our cannabis crops and our premises, as we wish to limit transport and thus reduce the company's ecological footprint.

Our partner laboratory has modern facilities capable of meeting our quality standards. The three chemists who run it have been in the CBD cannabis business for many years. From formulation to extraction and processing of CBD plants, our chemists are at the cutting edge of what is currently available in Switzerland.

Since 2021, the laboratory has been working to ISO standards. This is a worldwide certification applied to the manufacture of raw materials and finished products for human or veterinary use.

Among other things, it validates :

• Compliance with good manufacturing practices
• Hygiene and organization practices at all levels

In addition, certification is designed to minimize the risk of :

• Cross-contamination of products (by another product, or an internal and external contaminant)
• Confusion, particularly in terms of labeling and component identification

The working method of our laboratory complements the organic cultivation of our plants and the ISO 9001 standard obtained by the company. Naturalpes. Together, these strict criteria guarantee consumers traceability for effective, stable, high-quality products.

Naturalpes is a transparent company. Our "kitchens" are open. So we're pleased to tell you how our oils are made:

1 ) Hemp seed and variety selection

We carefully select the different CBD cannabis plants we need. After all, good raw material is the basis of any good product.

2 ) CBD cannabis cultivation
Our farmers take care of growing the cannabis plants. For outdoor plants, our hemp cultivation complies with organic standards.

3 ) Gas extraction of crude oil

Extraction is carried out using CO2, an inert gas. This is the cleanest extraction technique currently used by our laboratory. The gas is then evaporated in avacuum at low temperature. This eliminates solvents, while maintaining a high CBDA content in the raw oil.

This step produces a raw concentrate from the cannabis plant. To obtain the RAW range of full-spectrum products (FULL SPECTRUM), this concentrate will be mixed and prepared (going directly to step 6).

4 ) Mother stock processing, as required

The raw oil obtained is then processed to make the other two ranges, GOLD and WELLNESS. This process involves the following steps:

• Filtration, or winterization, of the mother paste (to filter out fats, waxes and chlorophyll)
• Distillation, which guarantees total decarboxylation (transforming CBD from acidic to neutral)

At this stage, the substance obtained is still full spectrum (FULL SPECTRUM). This extract will be used for all products in the GOLD range.

For the broad-spectrum WELLNESS range (BROAD SPECTRUM), we use gas chromatography to remove the residual THC molecule from the extract.

5 ) Mixing and preparation

The various CBD extracts obtained are then diluted in organic hemp seed oil or organic coconut oil, depending on the desired content. Finally, we enrich the blends with vitamin E. This step stabilizes and preserves the oils.

6 ) Packaging in bottles, pens or jars

The oils are packaged by our partner according to strict health standards.

7 ) Final checks and marketing

Thanks to the tracking of every stage in the process, each product is controlled and traced with a batch number to enable it to be marketed.

We systematically carry out two analyses to ensure that our products are perfectly legal:

• A first for the extraction laboratory;
• A second in an external SAS and ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.

Finally, at Naturalpes , traceability is an essential aspect of the production chain. This constant monitoring enables us to check that each product meets the expected level of quality. Our stringent processes, from cultivation to sales, guarantee that users can rely on the brand's standards.

As part of our commitment to transparency, our teams will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
