CBD tincture drops Switzerland – an alcoholic full spectrum extract
Our CBD tincture is a classic alcoholic extract from Swiss organic hemp. Unlike oil-based CBD products, it uses high-strength organic alcohol as the solvent, which leads to particularly fast sublingual absorption through the mucous membrane of the mouth. Within a few minutes the CBD reaches the bloodstream – ideal for anyone who wants a fast onset.

What is a CBD tincture?
A tincture is a traditional pharmaceutical extraction method in which plant compounds are dissolved in alcohol. Alcohol is an excellent solvent for cannabinoids and terpenes – the result is a highly concentrated, fast-acting extract. Our CBD tincture is made from certified Swiss organic hemp and is full spectrum (CBD, CBG, CBC and terpenes).

Frequently asked questions about CBD tinctures

What is the difference between a tincture and an oil?
Tinctures use alcohol as the solvent and are absorbed faster through the mucous membrane of the mouth. CBD oils use vegetable oil as the carrier and stay active somewhat longer in the digestive tract. Both have their place – it depends on the use.

Does the tincture contain alcohol?
Yes, organic alcohol is the solvent. The daily amounts are very small, though – a few drops correspond to a minimal amount of alcohol, far below the legal limit for driving.

Can I take the CBD tincture in tea or water?
Yes, that is possible. Sublingual use is more efficient, however, because the cannabinoids reach the blood directly without passing through digestion first.

What does the CBD tincture taste like?
Strongly herbal with an alcoholic note. If you find the taste too intense, you can mix the drops into a spoonful of honey or into tea.

Is the CBD tincture legal in Switzerland?
Yes. Like all our products, the CBD tincture complies with Swiss requirements (THC below 1%).

How long does the tincture keep?
Because of its alcohol content a CBD tincture keeps extremely well – up to 5 years unopened. Even after opening it remains usable for a year with no loss of effect. Store it cool, dark and tightly closed.

Can I apply the tincture to the skin?
Better not. Alcohol can be drying on sensitive skin. For topical use we recommend our CBD cosmetics.

Is the tincture suitable for people who do not drink alcohol?
If you abstain from alcohol or have an addiction disorder, we recommend CBD oil instead of a tincture. You will find our alcohol-free alternatives under CBD Oil Original or CBD oil without THC.
