Phasex utilizes its proprietary supercritical CO2 fluid extraction process to expertly extract, remediate, and purify hemp biomass all the way through to a non-detectable or full-spectrum whole plant hemp extract—often referred to as CBD distillate, which is similar to the ingredient we produce. Our PHCO2-branded ingredients feature our specialized technology, which produces Certified Organic and American conventional whole plant hemp extract ingredients; we also toll process these same materials for select customers.
This manufacturing process fits a need in many market segments—including cosmetics, nutraceuticals, supplements, food and beverage, and pet food.
To give you the most informed look at what we do, and what you can expect from our highly evolved and proprietary processes using supercritical CO2 extraction technology, we have prepared a resource guide to give you the information that will provide helpful answers regarding your processing and ingredient needs.

We’ve collaborated with farmers, other processors, manufacturers, brokers, and brands in the hemp marketplace over the last few years and have developed a unique extraction and remediation technology. As this niche market has evolved, Phasex has launched a line of organic ingredients to serve the natural products and cannabis markets.
We launched these supercritical CO2 extracted and remediated ingredients to meet the high-quality organic ingredient demand that is proliferating across many applications. Our work serves customers looking for high-percentage CBD materials using whole plant hemp:
Phasex is a differentiator in the market because we are able to provide broad- and full-spectrum ingredients with minors from the same hemp plant, and either a compliant amount of THC (full spectrum; less than 0.3%) or an ultra-low amount of THC, which typically registers as non-detectible by most third-party analytical labs. We launched these products under a new brand called PHCO2.
Our primary focus is to provide USDA-Certified Organic whole plant hemp extract ingredients, which have a high percentage of CBD (greater than 80%). We also offer American conventional products that utilize a similar supercritical CO2 extraction and remediation process.
Phasex has developed proprietary supercritical CO2 extraction and remediation services to provide farmers, brokers, co-packers, manufacturers, distributors, and brands a vertically integrated partner to extract the biomass and purify/remediate the resulting output. We deliver to them a compliant ingredient material which can be shipped anywhere in the United States, or around the world, where compliant hemp materials are allowed.
Alternatively, we can provide toll processing extraction services in which we can extract the crude oil out of the biomass.
Our whole plant hemp crude and CBD distillate materials process is unparalleled in the industry, and we’ve also developed secondary food-grade purification services, which allow us to remove the following from whole plant hemp crude and distillate materials:
We’ve earned the reputation as innovators of a quality, reliable extraction and remediation process that yields consistent, superior purification, and has the ability to capture relevant minors in the whole plant hemp extract.

These properties exist for customers purchasing our PHCO2 ingredient materials and those utilizing their own high-quality materials combined with using the Phasex toll processing extraction and remediation services to create ingredient materials are that the “whole plant hemp extract ingredients.”
These unique properties include the following:

Phasex utilizes its proprietary CO2 supercritical fluid process that expertly extracts and purifies your whole plant hemp biomass all the way through to a non-detectable or full-spectrum material found in PHCO2-branded ingredients.
Using our GMP-certified, food-grade CO2 process—producing ingredients with high CBD actives with minors—we purify:
Your biomass extraction will be processed cleanly, without harsh chemicals:
The labs and farmers we partner with know that the exceptional final material produced is backed by decades of expertise and superior quality processes.
To ensure the finished ingredient meets the profiles you require, for first-time customers, we typically require small-scale sample testing of your material. Guided by years of experience toll processing thousands of other ingredients, we feel this is the first vital step in the extraction and purification process for our customers.
We test a small portion of your material in a pilot/lab-scale purification process, which allows you (and us) to see how the material will perform in our full-scale production. This pilot informs you on what you can expect for a finished ingredient, including purity and potency. This process helps align us with expectations about what you want and what we can do.
