| With rarer cannabinoids like CBG only being found in small quantities in the plant, it can be challenging to extract and produce them at scale. Through its proprietary fermentation technology platform, Creo produces pure, consistent, premium cannabinoids at scale, and in a more sustainable way. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Fifth & Root and Joiya to bring high-quality innovative CBG products to market,” says Creo Co-founder and CEO, Roy Lipski. “With Creo, our partners gain access to an abundance of superior cannabinoid ingredients that support the development of innovative products for wellness, beauty and nutrition.” Based on recent studies, CBG can act as a natural multi-functional antioxidant to help skin heal, hydrate and delay aging. Using Creo’s proprietary CBG, Fifth & Root is introducing a spot treatment for blemishes, while Joiya is adding new targeted skin care products to its collection that calm the skin, promote radiance, and stimulate graceful aging. “At Fifth & Root we focus on using thoughtfully-crafted, plant-based ingredients. By partnering with Creo and infusing its sustainable and high-quality CBG within future innovation, we are able to expand our collection of pure and natural solutions for healthier skin,” says Ginger Mollo, Chief Integration Officer & GM of Fifth & Root. “Partnering with Creo allows us to deliver clean, safe, and effective skincare products by maximizing the many benefits of CBG and other rarer cannabinoids,” says Rachel Ross, VP of Product Innovation of Joiya.
