KELOWNA, B.C., Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The Valens Company Inc. (TSX: VLNS) (OTCQX: VLNCF) (the "Company" or "The Valens Company"), a global leader in the end-to-end development and manufacturing of innovative, cannabinoid-based products, today announced the addition of SōRSE Clear, a stable, clear emulsion with a minimal sensory profile, to the SōRSE by Valens offering for CBD isolate product formats.
SōRSE Technology is a water-soluble emulsion technology designed for product developers to provide consumers with a more consistent cannabinoid experience with user-controlled dosing, demonstrated shelf-stability, and safe ingredients. The Valens Company has been leveraging this emulsion technology to transform cannabis extracts into water-soluble forms and to infuse beverages, edibles and topicals without a cannabis aroma and after-taste.
"As the exclusive partner for the development and custom manufacturing of best-in-class cannabis derivative products in Canada, having access to the highest quality cannabinoid emulsion technology is critically important," said Tyler Robson, Chief Executive Officer of The Valens Company. "We have made great strides revolutionizing many of our product lines with SōRSE by Valens, including more mature formats such as tinctures, and the addition of SōRSE Clear will only deepen our ability to innovate a diverse portfolio of products for the forthcoming 3.0 market."
SōRSE Clear is currently available in a liquid format and contains safe, vegan, allergen-free ingredients. The new emulsion offering features multiple benefits including stability, safety, improved sensory experience, homogeneity, and seamless integration. SōRSE Clear also complies with all the main safety and testing protocols, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and The Global Safety Food Initiative (GFSI).
Howard Lee, Chief Executive Officer of SōRSE, said, "We believe that SōRSE Clear is a game-changer for the cannabis industry and we have no doubt that The Valens Company will harness this technology to continue to formulate the most innovative, premium cannabis-infused products for Canadian consumers."
