OPTIMIZING HEALTH AND WELLNESS FORMULATIONS IN 2026
As we enter 2026, the focus on science-driven health and wellness solutions remains a priority. With more research and clinical trials being published, this year represents a prime opportunity to support New Year’s Resolutions by integrating science-backed cannabinoids into daily routines.

For product formulators, the potential for cannabinoids to support specific New Year’s health and wellness goals, such as stress management, improved sleep, enhanced fitness and breaking unhealthy habits, is abundantly clear.

• THCV (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabivarin): Research supports weight management strategies, with THCV acting as a neutral antagonist at CB1 receptors to help regulate appetite and support energy expenditure without intoxication.

• CBG (Cannabigerol): Shows promise as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, pain reliever, anti-anxiety, muscle relaxant, digestive health aid and a non-stimulant for energy and focus.

• CBN (Cannabinol): Research has suggested CBN improves sleep quality, relaxation and pain relief.

• CBD (Cannabidiol): Thought to be the foundational cannabinoid for maintaining homeostasis, supporting recovery and sleep while managing everyday stress.

By leveraging these functional ingredients, formulators can target desired health and wellness outcomes, from weight loss to stress management.

Let’s make 2026 a year focused on improving consumer health and wellness. Contact Red Mesa Science & Refining to further discuss the ideal Isolate, Distillate or Water Soluble cannabinoid to align with your 2026 goals.

Selecting the Right Manufacturing Partner is One of the Most Critical Decisions a Formulator Can Make.

The quality of your water-soluble raw ingredients directly dictates the safety, efficacy and reputation of your finished product. When evaluating potential partners for water-soluble CBD, CBG, and CBN, it is essential to evaluate a manufacturer's capabilities to support long-term scalability and compliance.

The following touches on the key factors that define a reliable strategic manufacturing partnership:

· Uncompromised Quality Standards: Ensure your partner adheres to cGMP, ISO 9001:2015, and 21 CFR Parts 111 & 117 standards. These additional
certifications and conformances are vital for ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

· Advanced Technology and Vertical Integration: Look for advanced processes and capabilities for producing isolate/distillate input materials and expertise in nanoemulsions. This vertical integration and proficiency in cannabinoid refinement and purification is essential for creating stable, water soluble ingredients with enhanced bioavailability and rapid onset, without compromising flavor profiles.

· End-to-End Traceability: A trustworthy supplier provides full soil-to-sale documentation.

· Demand ISO 17025-accredited third-party COAs to provide the utmost confidence in verifying potency and purity for every batch.

· Supply Chain Reliability: Your partner must demonstrate the operational capacity to scale from R&D to industrial production volumes while maintaining strict delivery timelines.

OIL AND WATER DON’T MIX – How often have you heard that?

It’s true, which is why Water Soluble CBD | CBG | CBN is in such high demand. As cannabinoid infused functional beverages and water-based products such as gummies, topicals, skincare, cosmetics, edibles, and more have expanded the health and wellness category, it seems impossible not to add water-soluble cannabinoid ingredients to your product lineup.

Water-soluble CBD, CBG and CBN offer enhanced bioavailability and a faster onset while promoting dosage accuracy and predictability. This all equates to less cannabinoid material needed to achieve the targeted benefits, which lowers input material costs. But is one potency ideal for all applications? We think not, which is why having the option to choose between 10% and 20% potency concentrations will provide flexibility in aligning with your specific formulation and budgetary needs.

· 10% Concentration: An ideal solution for standard-dose products. It offers precision formulations where lower cannabinoid potency per dose is required.

· 20% Concentration: Engineered for high-potency applications. This higher concentration can increase end-product potency or reduce the input material to help trim material costs.

We know it can be confusing, especially if you are unfamiliar with water-soluble, which is why we are here to help. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or need assistance with choosing what works best for your given application.

We’re not here to make bold claims about being the supreme expert (quite frankly, nobody should at this point), but we have created a guide to help businesses navigate the complexities of exporting CBD into Japan.

Why would we do this? Quite simply, it aligns with our founding principle to expand the accessibility of the health and wellness benefits of CBD globally to all those who seek them. Currently, Japan has experienced a substantial increase in demand for CBD, primarily driven by new product development, particularly in the pharmaceutical and wellness sectors. However, with the new law, it is also facing a significant supply shortage.

While understanding the ≤10ppm THC residual restriction is the first step, there is so much more to consider for success. Drawing from our experience as h**p processors and our extensive experience in Japan, we’re uniquely positioned to help guide those seeking to export to Japan with confidence.

Read about strategies for avoiding the potential pitfalls of exporting to Japan to help you achieve your export goals.

IMPORTING CBD INTO JAPAN: Why Reliable COAs and Batch Consistency Matter

Japan’s ultra-low ≤ 10ppm THC limits make importing CBD into this lucrative market a challenge. Acquiring CBD Isolate Powder at ≤ 1ppm THC mitigates risk, but so too does reliability and consistency.

Clearing customs can come down to one critical question: Are the COAs reliable, and is the batch consistent from start to finish?

RELIABLE COAs: While a test sample of CBD Isolate Powder might pass, the entire batch must meet the same stringent standards. That’s why the COA should come from an ISO 17025 accredited third-party lab and a lab approved by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to help ensure testing competence and accuracy.

BATCH CONSISTENCY: To consistently produce CBD with ≤ 1 ppm THC, it starts with homogeneous input material across thousands of kilograms and a proven, reproducible process for manufacturing high-purity CBD at below 1ppm. Post-homogenization, often overlooked in our industry, is the final key step to ensuring batch-to-batch consistency. Yes, it requires additional steps and significant investment in custom equipment, but the payoff is peace of mind and compliance with Japan’s ultra-low THC threshold.

At the end of the day, it’s about clearing customs, but equally important, it’s about establishing long-term supplier partnerships delivering a product that meets the highest standards in the world.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION AND CBN ISOLATE? How are they connected? CBN is known as the sleep cannabinoid. So, with 1/3 OF ADULTS suffering from sleep deprivation, high-potency CBN products with a potency of 20mg or more may be the answer, according to research. The rise in wearable smart sleep trackers is amplifying sleep health awareness, with the desire to improve sleep quality becoming more commonplace.

Nearly 100% in purity, CBN Isolate, is preferred in targeted precision potency (20% or more), and with it being THC-Free, it is the cannabinol raw ingredient of choice. https://www.redmesascience.com/cbn-isolate/
