// ABOUT RESIDUAL SOLVENTS
Residual solvents are often left over from the process chemicals used to extract cannabinoids. These solvents are not completely removed by many manufacturing techniques and can remain in the final product. Their presence must be controlled and minimized due to potential health risks. Residual solvents can pose health hazards especially through the inhalation route of exposure.
