The cannabis plant offers a remarkable array of natural compounds known as cannabinoids, each with unique properties and benefits. Among the most well-known are THC, CBD, and CBG—but not all cannabinoids are created equal. At Pharm-Essence, we craft our formulations using pure CBD isolate and CBG isolate, providing clean, consistent, and effective results without psychoactive effects. Here’s what sets them apart from marijuana-derived THC.

What Is THC?

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana—the one responsible for the euphoric “high.” THC interacts directly with the brain’s CB1 receptors, influencing perception, coordination, and mood.

While THC can have therapeutic uses for some individuals, it’s not ideal for everyone—especially those who want relief and balance without intoxication. That’s why Pharm-Essence products contain zero THC. We focus exclusively on hemp-derived isolates, which deliver the beneficial aspects of cannabinoids without any mind-altering side effects.

What Is CBD Isolate?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid derived from hemp, not marijuana. When extracted and refined to its purest form, it becomes CBD isolate—a crystalline powder that contains 99% pure cannabidiol and no THC or other cannabinoids.

At Pharm-Essence, our CBD isolate is used in topical formulas to support comfort, skin balance, and relaxation. It works by interacting indirectly with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), helping to regulate processes such as inflammation, sleep, and stress response.

Our products, including the MOAB Topical Pain Balm, harness the power of CBD isolate to help ease tension and soothe overworked muscles—naturally and without any psychoactive effects.

What Is CBG Isolate?

CBG (cannabigerol), often called the “mother cannabinoid,” is the chemical precursor from which other cannabinoids like CBD and THC are formed. Because it exists in smaller amounts in the hemp plant, CBG isolate is more rare and valuable.

Like CBD isolate, CBG isolate is completely non-intoxicating. Early research suggests it may support focus, calm, digestive health, and overall mood balance. At Pharm-Essence, we incorporate high-purity CBG isolate into select formulations to enhance clarity, energy, and overall wellness from the inside out.

Hemp vs. Marijuana: The Legal and Functional Difference

The defining difference between hemp and marijuana lies in their THC content. Legally, hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC—which means it cannot produce a “high.” Marijuana plants, on the other hand, typically contain much higher levels of THC (10–30%), making them subject to stricter regulations.

By formulating exclusively with hemp-derived isolates, Pharm-Essence ensures our products are 100% THC-free, federally compliant, and safe for daily use.

The Pharm-Essence Difference

At Pharm-Essence, our mission is to unlock the healing potential of hemp through clean, science-driven formulations. We use CBD isolate and CBG isolate to deliver targeted relief and nourishment without compromise—no THC, no residual plant compounds, just pure cannabinoid goodness.

From our MOAB Pain Balm that soothes sore muscles to our Angel Miracle Gel that hydrates and revitalizes skin, each product reflects our dedication to purity, consistency, and performance.

When you choose Pharm-Essence, you’re choosing THC-free, hemp-based wellness that supports your body naturally—powered by the purest isolates nature can provide.
