The short answer is yes, it is completely normal for our products to vary in color batch to batch, and the reason is pretty cool.
At Hempward Farms, we celebrate nature by using the whole hemp plant in our products. Each plant has its own unique profile of CBD, cannabinoids, and terpenes, which we extract into premium crude oil. Interestingly, plants grown next to each other can produce very different results due to factors like sunlight, water, and soil.

Variations in our crude oil are completely normal, but achieving the right strength in our final products is essential. To do this, we employ a unique calculation for each batch mixture to hit our target CBD levels. For instance, if the crude oil has a higher CBD concentration, we add more MCT coconut oil to balance it out. Conversely, if the crude has a lower CBD percentage, we adjust by using a more concentrated mixture relative to the MCT oil. Additionally, the strength of each product plays a role in this process. Our Hempward Farms 50mg Equine Tincture is naturally more concentrated than our 25mg Human Tinctures and 10mg Canine options.
What is Crude Oil and why does it affect the color?
When we harvest our hemp plants, that is what they are- plants. And the plants have stalks and stems and leaves as well as the flower that contains most of the cannabidiolic acid(CBDA). CBDA is a compound that does not interact with our endocannabinoid system, so we need to activate CBDA using heat, or decarboxylation , to transform it into our usable CBD. That process is called extraction, and the end result is a thick molasses-like product called Crude Oil. Crude oil is a dark greenish brown due to the chlorophyll remaining from the plant. That dark color is why our different mixtures of tincture oil become slightly different shades of color.
So yes, color variation is normal and expected with Hempward Farms products. I take pride in these small imperfections. It is an easily observed example of just how natural and simple our products are. We do not artificially add or strip the colors of our products, because the color is a direct result of nutrients from our Colorado sunshine and fresh water from the Rocky Mountains being fed to our hemp fields.

What could be better than that?
