Company Overview
Curating the Highest Quality Full Spectrum Plant-Based Hemp Extracts from Organic US-Grown Hemp
Company Description
At RE Botanicals™, we believe that healthy soil creates healthy plants, healthy people, and a healthy climate. Our Pure Organic Hemp Apothecary harkens back to the traditions of plant extract apothecaries. We curate only the highest quality golden full spectrum plant-based hemp extracts from organic US grown hemp. Our founder John W. Roulac’s 20-year legacy in hemp and personal commitment to healthy living and regenerative agriculture ensure that we honor the artisan apothecary tradition and deliver purity that meets our ethical standards. The vast majority of USA grown hemp uses harsh chemical fertilizers, rotated with industrial GMO corn and soy and contributes to climate change and ocean die off. RE Botanicals™ commitment to high quality insures you that the product you consume is pure and organic.
