Questions
Solventless means no chemical solvents are used at any stage of extraction, ensuring a completely chemical-free process. *Solvent-free* indicates that solvents used during extraction have been thoroughly removed to below detectable levels, typically through purging, making the final product free of residual solvents, though solvents were used during production.
Extraction method: Live rosin is a solventless concentrate made from ice water hash that’s pressed with heat and pressure. Live resin is a solvent-based extract created using chemical solvents on fresh-frozen cannabis.
Flavor profile: Live rosin maintains a more natural, true-to-plant flavor, while live resin’s taste can be subtly altered during purging. Chemical extracts often include CRC or color remediation to make the material appear more pure. This process removes valuable terpenes and flavor.
Potency and cost: Live resin often has slightly higher THC levels and is generally more affordable, whereas live rosin commands a premium price due to its labor-intensive extraction and focus on quality.
Many consider solventless extracts safer because they contain no residual chemical solvents. However, safety also depends on the quality of the starting material; contaminated or low-quality plant material can introduce mold or pesticides. Always choose lab-tested products from reputable dispensaries.
