BAAR, ZUG, SWITZERLAND, May 6, 2022
Formula Swiss AG of Switzerland has acquired a 50% stake in Romanian Zona Verde SRL.
Zona Verde started in 2009 as the very first grow shop in Romania focusing on hydroponic equipment. Then in 2015, the company expanded the scope of the business to include cannabis seeds.
Now Zona Verde is the most popular cannabis retailer in Romania, offering more than 1000 different CBD and hemp products of all types, including tinctures, seeds, vape, smokeable products etc.
The extensive product selection will continue to expand with the partnership with Formula Swiss.
Formula Swiss, founded in Switzerland in 2013, produces certified organic and vegan CBD products in Switzerland for customers in more than 60 countries and medical cannabis since 2019 for thousands of patients in Brazil. The company has companies in Switzerland, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and Romania.
CEO, Robin Roy Krigslund-Hansen said:
“The cannabis industry is challenging and requires a long-term perspective combined with an adaptive mindset to adjust to rapidly changing market conditions. We believe in forming strong partnerships with ambitious people and companies with a proven track record in the cannabis industry. The team from Zona Verde has done incredibly well in Romania. We are very proud to partner with them and bringing the very best cannabis products from Switzerland to Romania.”
The new Common Agricultural Policy has been changed and the new maximum THC level on the field has been restored to 0,3%.
It was in October 2020, when the European Parliament had voted in favour of restoring the authorised THC level on the field from 0,2 % to 0,3 %. Today, one year later, the final proposal of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was adopted today by the Council, following the final vote at the European Parliament on November 24.
The new CAP will enter into force on January 1st, 2023, recognises the possibility for EU farmers to receive Direct Payments for hemp varieties registered in the EU Catalogue that have a maximum level of THC of 0,3 %.
This change entails a potential enlargement of the number of hemp varieties accepted under the EU Catalogue. As a reminder, this level only applies if farmers want to receive direct payments, meaning that in Europe it is possible to plant hemp with THC level on the field over 0,3 %, provided it is authorised by national regulations (e.g., 0,6 % in Italy; 1 % in Czech Republic).
"I have been fighting for this moment for over a decade. My special thanks go to our amazing team in Brussels, who have made this possible.” Says Daniel Kruse, President of the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA).
“This is a great day for the hemp sector and another step towards a greener future for Europe. However, if compared to other countries worldwide, 0, 3 % is still a low limit; for instance, Switzerland, in the heart of Europe, has a higher number, and other EU countries already work with higher limits as well. Scientific studies and many years of experience prove that higher limits pose absolutely no safety risk for consumers. The EU lays the foundation for a growing, green and sustainable industrial hemp sector across our Union and it has the chance to achieve a level playing field again in global competition when it comes to the industrial hemp sector.”

We have updated our product range of CBD oils for cats with new formulations with a higher level of CBD and cannabinoid content.
Our CBD oils for animals have been developed through a long-term research collaboration with the University of Bologna and their Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences and have been used in a range of published clinical studies to document the positive effects of cannabidiol (CBD) in cats, dogs and horses.
We have a research collaboration with the University of Bologna and their Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences for a range of studies for the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) in cats, dogs and horses.
The Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences is studying the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) in animals. The objective is to increase the understanding of the effect in animals to continue to improve our product development of CBD pet products.

Abstract: Cannabinoid receptors showed a wide distribution in the feline gastrointestinal tract layers. Although not yet confirmed/supported by functional evidences, the present research might represent an anatomical substrate potentially useful to support, in feline species, the therapeutic use of cannabinoids during gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.

Today, we are proud to present four new CBD creams to you. Or rather, three completely new CBD creams and a rebranded product.
Our best-selling CBD Pain Cream combines the very best plant-based extracts and essential oils, specifically for relief, rapid recovery and muscle support.
It has a premium and quality feel on your skin and contains 600 milligram organic CBD (cannabidiol) mixed with hemp seed oil, hot ginger extract, immortal flower oil lavender and lecithin which have rapid soothing and warming properties for recovery, relief of the skin and muscles.
To be fully compliant with the latest EU cosmetic label regulation, which prevent us from making any kind of health claim for cosmetics products, we decided to change the product name to "CBD Relief Cream". Everything else is still the same.
For a full product description see here.
As of today, CBD Relief is also available in two new variants with 300 or 1.200 milligram organic CBD. All other ingredients are exactly the same.
We also made a very special version with 600 milligram CBD and additionally 600 milligram CBG (cannabigerol). Considering it has the exact same ingredients as CBD Pain Cream, but with additionally 600 milligram CBG added, it should be even more effective.
We call this new cream Deep Relief.
Our testing panel loves this combination of two major cannabinoids in high concentrations and has given very positive feedback.
In this article you can read more about CBG (cannabigerol).
All four products are CPNP registered and fully legal in all EU member states.
CBD Relief, 300 mg: registration 3817238
CBD Relief, 600 mg: registration 3817231
CBD Relief, 1200 mg: registration 3817234

In June, we started the process of getting our products certified vegan by the highest standards possible, which is The Vegan Society in The United Kingdom founded in 1944.
Today, we are proud to announce that we are officially certified by The Vegan Society and are honoured to add the certified Vegan Trademark to our cosmetics made from organic hemp produced in Switzerland.
We will be implementing the new standard and certification into our communication, products packaging and branding immediately.
The Vegan Society was founded in November 1944 and have made tremendous progress since.
The Society now defines veganism as "A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."
The founding of The Vegan Society is celebrated annually on 1 November, World Vegan Day.
The Vegan Trademark has been helping users identify that a product is free from animal ingredients since 1990. Registration with the trademark gives brands the confidence to shout about their vegan credentials.

At our company, we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment.
As a large producer of products from cannabis and industrial hemp, we are constantly striving to be CO2-neutral. We use a large amount of renewable energy from water and solar, replenish the soil without fertilizer, use highly effective LEDs over HPS lamps, and packaging made from ROHS-produced wood, paper from recycled paper etc.
In addition, we have been CO2-negative for years. This means that we are actually removing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than we are emitting. As a result, we are making a positive contribution to the fight against climate change.
Here at our company, we pride ourselves on having the highest standard of certifications and accreditations. We have been documenting, improving and certifying our production processes by GMP and ISO 22716 since 2018, and we are now finalizing ISO 9001:2015. Additionally, our products are certified organic and vegan.
Anyone can claim that their products are organic or vegan, but unfortunately, many choose to do so without any certification or accreditation.
We believe that our customers deserve the best of the best, which is why we go the extra mile to ensure that our products meet the highest standards. When you choose our company, you can rest assured knowing that you're getting the best possible product.
We are very proud of our achievements to date. It takes time, patience, manpower and requires substantial financial investment in product development, quality improvement, and certifications via external consultants.
However, we can do better and should do anything possible to reduce our footprint on the Planet to minimize climate change and the negative impacts on the fragile ecosystem. For example, we could use more recycled materials in our products, source energy from renewable sources, or offset our carbon emissions.
We believe that it is our responsibility to minimize our impact on the environment, and we are committed to doing so. In fact, we have already made significant progress in recent years, thanks in part to the efforts of our employees. We will continue to work hard to reduce our environmental impact and be a force for good in the world.
Sustainability is a top priority at our company.
We recognize that the products we sell have a significant impact on the environment, and we are committed to making changes that will reduce that impact.
We have set a goal of implementing sustainable product labels and packaging for all of our products by the end of 2021. This means switching to eco-friendly materials for our labels and packaging, and ensuring that all of our products meet medical-grade quality standards.
We believe that this pledge is an important step in our journey towards becoming a more sustainable company, and we are committed to seeing it through.
Thank you for your support as we work to make this important change.
Before the end of 2022, we promise to implement the following changes:
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we will be redesigning all product labels to be printed on eco-friendly materials.
In addition, we will be increasing the use of local language variations on our labels, to better serve our customers around the world. This includes Spanish, Portuguese and Norwegian. All labels will also meet medical-grade quality standards.
This redesign is part of our larger commitment to sustainability and to providing our customers with the best possible products.
We will be redesigning and reprinting all product packaging and inserts for all products produced by ROHS-wood only.
This will enable us to reduce our use of paper and plastic, and will help us to meet our goal of reducing our environmental impact by 50% by 2025.
We will be working with our suppliers to ensure that the new packaging is made from recycled materials, and that it can be easily recycled or reused.
We appreciate your patience as we make this transition, and we look forward to future opportunities to reduce our impact on the planet.
It's time to say goodbye to those pesky plastic containers and make the switch to glass or aluminium.
Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, but it's also better for the environment. Here at our company, we are committed to following the organic COSMOS standard, which requires the use of glass or aluminium containers instead of plastic.
Plastic takes centuries to decompose, while glass and aluminium can be recycled over and over again. Making the switch to eco-friendly packaging is just one small way that we can help make a big difference for the planet. Plus, our customers can feel good knowing that they are supporting a sustainable business.
So let's make the switch and start making a positive impact on the environment.
In an effort to be more sustainable, we have decided to stop using plastic lids for our containers. Instead, we will be using glass or aluminium covers that can be reused.
We will also be using shrink-plastic protective sleeves for our products. These sleeves will be made from biodegradable material, so they will not contribute to pollution.
We hope that these changes will help to reduce the amount of plastic waste that is produced each year.
At this time, we would like to assure you that we are still working hard on our plans.
We have made significant progress and we are confident that we will be able to keep our promise to you. We understand your frustration and we assure you that we are doing everything in our power to move forward as soon as possible.
As soon as we have more information, we will update you. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We have decided to join The Vegan Society and started the process of getting our organic and vegan cosmetics products officially certified.
We consider The Vegan Society the most renowned and reputable vegan organisation in Europe.
The Vegan Society was founded in November 1944 and have made tremendous progress since.
The Society now defines veganism as "A philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment.

We have started the process of certifying our organic skincare products with COSMOS to get what we consider the highest organic certification standard possible in Europe.
The COSMOS-standard defines the criteria that companies must meet to ensure consumers that their products are genuine organic or natural cosmetics produced to the highest feasible sustainability practices.
The COSMOS-standard has been developed at the European and international level by BDIH (Germany), COSMEBIO & ECOCERT (France), ICEA (Italy) and SOIL ASSOCIATION (UK) who are the founders of the COSMOS-standard AISBL (an international non-profit association registered in Belgium) in order to define common requirements and definitions for organic and/or natural cosmetics.
The COSMOS-standard is managed by a not-for-profit, international and independent association – the Brussels based COSMOS-standard AISBL.
The founding members (BDIH - Germany, Cosmebio - France, Ecocert - France, ICEA - Italy and the Soil Association - UK) continue to bring their combined expertise to the continuous development and management of the COSMOS-standard.
The COSMOS-standard signature is a consumer guarantee for organic and natural cosmetics that you can trust. To date over 22,000 products in 70 countries carry the COSMOS ORGANIC or COSMOS NATURAL signature. Over 10,000 ingredients carry the COSMOS CERTIFIED signature. Over 7,000 raw materials carry the COSMOS APPROVED signature.

Natural cosmetics are not always the same. Even if the packaging gives the impression because it is perhaps printed with particularly green plants, the ingredients can be anything, but organic.
To help consumers recognise genuine natural cosmetics more quickly, cosmetic producers can get certified and use special seals as a guide.
We have just joined BDIH in Germany, which we consider the strongest European certification for organic cosmetics products.
As a non-profit organisation, the BDIH represents the interests of manufacturers and distributors of:
And more than 500 companies are currently organised in BDIH.
As early as 2001, the Federal Association of German Industrial and Trading Companies (BDIH for short) developed the test seal to identify controlled natural cosmetics.
Products bearing this seal must meet clearly defined criteria.
For example, plant-based raw materials should come predominantly from organic cultivation.
Animal testing is also prohibited - both in the production, development and testing of the end products.
Synthetic dyes and fragrances, silicones, kerosenes and other petroleum products are also not permitted.
Raw materials from dead vertebrates - for example collagen and animal fats - are also not permitted. However, substances produced by animals, such as milk or honey, are permitted.

Our top-rated CBN+CBD oil with 100 mg (1%) CBN and 300 mg (3%) CBD has been in high demand since we made the very first production batch more than a year ago.
Many customers have reported that the CBN+CBD oil has made them more relaxed, balanced and significantly improved their sleep pattern and cycles.
Due to the popularity and the positive customer feedback, we decided to research and develop specialized CBN+CBD oils.
In October 2020, we publicly announced our first planned research collaboration with Dutch researchers on a large double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled crossover study on more than 300 people in The Netherlands (for more information read: Dutch researchers and Swiss cannabis company tests safe and natural alternatives to solving sleep problems).
This research study did not get the required funding needed for the planned start in 2021. Still, we have not given up on the fundraising for researching into potentially solving sleep problems with our natural cannabis products.
We are now adding more concentrated and potent CBN+CBD oils to our product line of specialized oils.
The new oils contain 500 mg (5%) CBN and 500 mg (5%) CBD and 1.000 mg (10%) CBN and 1.000 mg (10%) CBD respectively. We believe this CBN-to-CBD ratio is the optimal ratio for the desired results. We look forward to documenting this through research studies.
These oils are completely free of THC and can safely be used by professional athletes and anyone else worried about potentially failing drug tests testing for THC.
The new CBN+CBD oils are available in our webshop.
CBN is a very popular cannabinoid due to the many documented benefits of this major cannabinoid – particularly in combination with CBD.
CBN is known for being sedative, analgesic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and very popular for improving and enhancing sleep. You can read much more about CBN in this article CBN – Cannabinol.
CBN is created through the ageing process and the external oxidation of the psychoactive cannabinoid "tetrahydrocannabinol", or THC for short. Exposure to oxygen or exposure to heat and light rays promotes the breakdown of the psychoactive effect in the process. The lower the THC content, the higher the CBN content. For this reason, cannabinol can only be found in tiny quantities in fresh cannabis plants and is very expensive to produce naturally.
We just finished redesigning all labels for our CBD oils in accordance with our new design profile and the latest EU Cosmetic regulations.
As a consequence of this the MCT Oil Natural CBD oils changed from yellow to green color, and the MCT Oil Vanilla CBD oils changed from yellow to brown color. All labels has a black font color on the front.
The label design has been updated to allow space for laser printing of the following information on all product labels immediately after prodcution:
The design changes will allow full traceability for all products and ensure that our customers get the exact information about the cannabinoid profile of each CBD oil.
EU allowed CBG (Cannabigerol) in cosmetic products in May 2021, when CBG was added to the CosIng database. Since then, we have been working on new, more potent CBG formulations for our CBG+CBD oils and CBD creams.
You can read more about CBG and the many benefits of this major cannabinoids in the article CBG - Cannabigerol.
We are launching a more potent CBG+CBD oil to complement our current CBG+CBD oil with 100 mg (1%) CBG and 300 mg (3%) CBD.
The new CBG+CBD oil has 600 mg (6%) CBG and 300 mg (3%) CBD. It also other major cannabinoids like CBD (0.8%), but is completely free of THC.
The concentration of CBG is six times higher than previously, but the new CBG+CBD oil will be priced at the same price as the previous version, which in return has been reduced in price by 50% until further notice.
It is available in our webshop.
Later this month, we will launch a CBG oil with 500 mg (5%) CBG without any other cannabinoids - and completely free of THC.
You can read more about CBG and the many benefits of this major cannabinoids in the article CBG - Cannabigerol.

Create your own CBD brand or source the very best ingredients for your products.
We have received thousands of requests for custom productions and white-label services in the last five years. Until now, we have kindly declined these inquiries and focused on scaling our own business with Formula Swiss branded products across 58 countries.
Now that we have reached significant economies of scale in the production processes, we can comfortably offer bulk and white-label production at very competitive prices without compromising the product quality in the production process.
We have established Formula Swiss Wholesale AG for this purpose and look forward to discussing, how we can support your business model.
A separate website will be established for this company shortly.
We are proud to present to you our latest CBD vaporiser.
The V10 Vaporiser is based on the latest 2021-technology, which includes smart functions like automatic low-power, over-puffing and anti-dry-burn protection.
It is slightly smaller than our latest model, but comes with increased battery capacity, life span and fast sleep-mode functionality. The V10 turns on automatically when you vape and turns off automatically when you stop using it.
The device can be easily stored in your pocket or purse and used over long periods of time without being charged. The V10 has a built-in over-heating function and will not feel warm in your hand or pocket.
The kit includes one refillable pod, charger and manual in english. Additional pods can be purchased in sets of 2 pods.
We continue to strive for a higher level of quality in our processes and final products.
After spending years improving our ingredients and product formulations, we are now focusing on improving the quality of everything, protecting our products from leaving us to arrive safely in your hands.
Last month, we added biodegradable shrink seals on all CBD bottles to eliminate any chance of potential damage or leaking to the bottles and medical pipettes during transport.
All tests so far clearly show that the products will not get damaged during long overseas transport legs in cargo planes without pressurized cargo rooms, nor if dropped from more than 200 cm height to a concrete surface etc.
However, if any product should get damaged during transport, we will replace it. Just send our customer service team pictures or videos and they will arrange the replacement for you.
We are now adding the following information to all our products:
We want to give you full transparency about the cannabinoids in our products and ensure you that you always get, what you order, and never anything less.
Our objective is to be as transparent as possible in everything we do without giving away any proprietary or confidential information about the production process.
If you have any questions or ideas for improvements, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
We have established Formula Swiss UK Ltd. as a subsidiary in North Yorkshire in the U.K. and have applied for local VAT registration.
Having a local presence in the U.K. will have many positive implications for our customers and wholesale partners.
From end of April, our customers in the U.K. will no longer have to deal with the Brexit-implications. The local custom clearing will be much faster going forward, and our customers will no longer have to pay any kind of fees, duties or VAT when receiving our products.
We will pay local VAT and import duties for all deliveries to the U.K.
We have notified the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) about all our cosmetic CBD products available to Great Britain consumers.
All our product information is available for the British authorities in the Cosmetic Product Notification Portal' or 'SCNP', a similar system as the European Union's CPNP system.
