Not all gummies are made the same. Discover the science behind nano oil, distillate blends and live resin — and what makes each Sunnies gummy unique.
What’s Inside Your Sunnies? A Guide to the Oils Behind Our Gummies
At SunMed Growers, the type of cannabis oil we use for our Sunnies Edibles is just as intentional as the flavors we pair with it. From fast-acting nano THC to precisely formulated cannabinoid blends and strain-specific live resin, each oil serves a different purpose.
Here’s what’s inside, how it’s made, and why we use it.
Fast-Acting Gummies = Nano Oil
What Is It?
Cannabis oil and water naturally don’t mix. Nano-emulsification breaks cannabis oil into extremely small droplets, allowing it to be evenly dispersed in a water-based mixture.
Our nano-emulsion is made fully in-house, giving our team control over quality and consistency from start to finish.
How Is It Made?
During nano-emulsification, cannabis oil is broken into droplets approximately 10–100 nanometers in size. The smaller particle size allows THC to be absorbed differently than it is in a traditional oil-based edible.
Why Is It Ideal for Fast-Acting Gummies?
It’s all about timing and predictability. Nano-emulsified THC can begin absorbing more quickly, making it ideal for Sunnies Fast-Acting Gummies and their quicker, more predictable onset.
New Flavors
Meet Cherry Lime and Juicy Pear, two new additions to our Fast-Acting lineup.
Looking to cut the sugar? Select Sunnies Fast-Acting Gummies are also available sugar-free, featuring the same nanotechnology in a vegan, sugar-free formula.
Ratioed Gummies = Distillate + Minor Cannabinoids
What Is It?
Distillate is a highly refined cannabis oil that provides a clean, consistent foundation for precise edible formulations. It can be paired with carefully measured minor cannabinoids such as CBD, CBN, CBC and THCv to create specific cannabinoid ratios.
How Is It Made?
Cannabis extract goes through refinement to separate and concentrate cannabinoids from other plant compounds. The resulting distillate can then be precisely measured and combined with selected minor cannabinoids.
Why Is It Ideal for Ratioed Gummies?
With Ratioed Gummies, the ratio is the recipe. Using distillate allows us to create consistent combinations of THC and minor cannabinoids from gummy to gummy.
Our evening-focused ratio is formulated with winding down in mind, pairing cannabinoids chosen to complement a nighttime routine.
New Flavor
Our Sunset Gummies are getting a flavor upgrade with Mixed Berry, bringing a juicy new bite to the Ratioed lineup.
Live Resin Gummies = Strain-Specific Live Resin
What Is It?
Live resin is a full-spectrum cannabis extract made to preserve more of the cannabinoids and aromatic terpenes that give an individual strain its unique character.
How Is It Made?
It starts with flower that is frozen shortly after harvest rather than traditionally dried and cured. The fresh-frozen material then undergoes extraction to separate its cannabinoids and terpenes while retaining more of the original strain’s profile.
Why Is It Ideal for Live Resin Gummies?
Because the strain is part of the flavor story. Sunnies Live Resin Gummies use strain-specific, single-source live resin, with gummy flavors selected to complement the characteristics of the flower they came from.
New Flavor
Things are getting wild with Wild Watermelon, our newest Live Resin Gummy made with strain-specific live resin from sun-grown Watermelon Gelato flower.
Watermelon Gelato brings floral, earthy and tropical fruit notes that pair naturally with Wild Watermelon’s juicy watermelon flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between nano oil, distillate, and live resin in Sunnies gummies?
Each oil type serves a different purpose. Nano oil is cannabis oil broken into extremely small droplets so it disperses in water and absorbs more quickly. Distillate is a highly refined oil that allows precise, consistent cannabinoid ratios. Strain-specific live resin is a full-spectrum extract made from fresh-frozen flower to preserve more of the original strain's cannabinoids and terpenes.
What is nano-emulsification and why does it make gummies fast-acting?
Nano-emulsification is a process that breaks cannabis oil into droplets roughly 10–100 nanometers in size, small enough to evenly disperse in a water-based mixture since oil and water don't naturally mix. This smaller particle size allows THC to be absorbed differently than in a traditional oil-based edible, which is why nano-emulsified THC can begin absorbing more quickly — making it ideal for Sunnies Fast-Acting Gummies and their quicker, more predictable onset.
What are Ratioed Gummies and how are they formulated?
Ratioed Gummies are formulated using distillate, a highly refined cannabis oil, precisely measured and combined with selected minor cannabinoids such as CBD, CBN, CBC and THCv. This process creates consistent, specific cannabinoid combinations from gummy to gummy. SunMed's evening-focused ratio, for example, is formulated with a nighttime routine in mind.
What is live resin, and how is it made?
Live resin is a full-spectrum cannabis extract made to preserve more of the cannabinoids and aromatic terpenes that give an individual strain its unique character. It's made by freezing flower shortly after harvest (rather than drying and curing it traditionally), then extracting the fresh-frozen material to separate cannabinoids and terpenes while retaining more of the strain's original profile.
Why do Live Resin Gummies taste like the strain they came from?
Because Sunnies Live Resin Gummies use strain-specific, single-source live resin, the flavor of each gummy is selected to complement the characteristics of the flower it came from. For example, Wild Watermelon is made with live resin from sun-grown Watermelon Gelato flower, whose floral, earthy and tropical fruit notes pair naturally with the gummy's watermelon flavor.
Different Oils. Different Sunnies.
Nano oil gives our Fast-Acting Gummies their quicker, more predictable experience. Distillate + minor cannabinoids give our Ratioed Gummies precise cannabinoid combinations. And strain-specific live resin brings more of the original flower’s character into every Live Resin Gummy.
Different oils. Different formulations. And plenty of new Sunnies flavors to explore.
