FAQ’S
OUR PRODUCTS
Many common skin care products are not safe to use during pregnancy (such as retinoids and salicylic acid). However, since research around CBD is limited, there is currently no conclusive evidence to support whether topical CBD use during pregnancy is safe or harmful.
Both Poko and Papilio’s CBD extract contains absolutely no THC – the intoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp. As well as that, topical CBD cannot penetrate deeply enough through the skin to enter into the bloodstream. If you are concerned about using topical CBD during your pregnancy, consult with your doctor.
POKO
Poko use pure, THC-free CBD extracts sourced from Colorado, which is the epicentre of hemp, CBD and cannabis research in the United States. Before it reaches you, the CBD in Poko products has been rigorously tested for quality, purity and safety.
Poko take every step to ensure that the CBD in their products is of the highest possible standard and 100% vegan, organic, cruelty-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, and THC-free. And if that wasn’t amazing enough, their products are rigorously quality tested by an accredited third-party testing facility.
PAPILIO
Papilio’s source of CBD is from a production facility in Oregon that is operating in line with GMP (pharmaceutical standards). The production facility is supplied with plants from a local growers collective who all share in the positive philosophy of growing high quality pesticide free hemp. This unique approach means we can trace our CBD right back to the field it was grown in and know where the seeds used came from. You can check them out here.
To ensure absolute peace of mind and quality control, they have had their products independently tested by ADACT, an accredited compliance house, who have provided them with certificates which confirm that Papilio products contain true broad spectrum, THC-free CBD.
