Extract Labs is an American manufacturer of hemp-derived cannabinoid products based in Lafayette, Colorado.[1] It was founded in 2016 by Craig Henderson, a U.S. Army veteran of the Iraq War.[2] The company makes CBD and other cannabinoid products and has expanded into kava and functional mushroom supplements.[3] It sells directly to consumers and through wholesale and white-label distribution.[3]
History
Craig Henderson served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005 as an infantryman with the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment.[2] He became interested in cannabidiol while completing a master's degree in engineering at the University of Louisville.[2] He then joined Apecks Supercritical, an Ohio maker of CO2 extraction equipment, and opened a Colorado location for that company.[2]
Henderson started Extract Labs in his garage in Boulder, Colorado, in December 2016.[2] By 2018 the company had introduced a line of CBD products for pets.[2] In October 2018 it expanded into a second building in Boulder, adding 7,500 square feet to its original 5,000-square-foot space.[4]
In 2019, Extract Labs began funding laboratory research at Colorado State University's James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital on the effects of CBD on canine glioma cells. The company supplied the CBD isolate and oils used in the study.[5]
In August 2021, the company bought a facility in Lafayette, Colorado, and later moved its headquarters there. It said it had funded the purchase without outside investors.[4] Henderson remains chief executive.[6]
In November 2024, CV Sciences, a San Diego–based hemp products company, announced an agreement to acquire Extract Labs.[7][8] The deal did not close. In February 2025, the sellers told CV Sciences they could not proceed because a required bank consent had not been obtained; CV Sciences disputed their right to end the agreement.[9]
Operations and products
Extract Labs formulates and manufactures finished products at a GMP-certified facility in Lafayette.[1][10] It sells directly to consumers online and supplies businesses as a wholesale and white-label manufacturer.[7][3]
Its product lines include CBD oils (tinctures), gummies, capsules, topical creams and lotions, bulk cannabinoid isolates, and products for pets.[3] Formulations include full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and THC-free CBD, along with other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBC and THCV.[3] As of October 2026, the company offered 24 products certified organic by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and 15 THC-free products.[11][12] Its CBD topicals are certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny,[13] and the company is a member of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC), whose quality seal covers its pet products.[14] Batches are tested by third-party laboratories, with results published online.
The company introduced kava gummies in early 2025[15] and functional mushroom extracts, including lion's mane, reishi and Cordyceps, in April 2026.[16]
Research and community programs
During the Colorado State University study, customers could donate toward the research costs when ordering from the company's website.[5] Extract Labs also offers a 50% discount program for veterans, active-duty military, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, people with long-term disabilities and low-income customers.[3]
Reception
A Healthline review described Extract Labs as a reputable brand with a wide product range, pricing similar to competitors and an unusually generous discount program. The same review noted that in 2022 a Better Business Bureau review found some of the company's CBD advertising did not follow the applicable rules.
In 2021, the business publication Industry Tech Insights named Henderson one of its 20 successful CEOs to watch, citing the company's work with minor cannabinoids.[6]
