Custom blends

Tailored Micelle-Encapsulated Blends

Cannabinoid- & terpene-defined emulsions / powders exactly suited to your product goals. 

Overview

At Cielo Cay, our Custom Nano Formulations combine your choice of active ingredients (cannabinoids, alkaloids, herbs, botanicals; isolate, broad-spectrum, or full-spectrum) with precisely selected terpenes and excipients to create a micelle-encapsulated ingredient that: 

  • Meets your potency target (from 1% up to 20% actives in powder, 1–5% in liquid) 
  • Delivers on flavor profile—from neutral to signature terpene notes 
  • Optimizes performance for your application (drink, chew, topical, capsule, etc.) 

Whether you need a punchy tropical terpene blend for beverages or a subtle herbal profile for topicals, our R&D team will develop, test, and scale the perfect nano-enabled formulation for your brand.
