Company highlights

Cellular Goods was established in August 2018 to develop efficacy-led and research-backed cannabinoid products. The initial focus is on two product verticals: premium skincare and topical athletic recovery products to be launched from this autumn. These will be made available through partnerships with leading online and physical retailers and direct to consumers through the Company’s website.

The Company has partnered with four leading biosynthetic cannabinoid producers in the United States who have experience and expertise in the manufacture of these compounds through a fermentation-based process to secure a consistent supply of legally-compliant raw materials.

The production of biosynthetic cannabinoids does not involve the cultivation or processing of the cannabis sativa plant.
