Based on Headset data,  high potency oils dominate the category with nine out of the top 10 bottled oils sold being high potency oils¹ in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. To meet this demand, Solei and Good Supply's new high potency oils offer consumers convenient and versatile options that are distillate-based for a virtually odorless and tasteless experience.

"At Aphria Inc. we understand the importance of offering consumers flexibility when it comes to consumption options, which is why expanding our portfolio to include high potency oils was a priority to the team," said Irwin D. Simon, Chief Executive Officer at Aphria Inc. "We continue to make it our priority to provide Canadians with the highest quality cannabis and the addition to high potency oils is no exception."

Solei

Widely known for its success in the oils category as one of the best-selling CBD oil of 2020⁴ and KIND Magazine's CBD Brand of the year in 2020⁵, Solei continues to build its distillate-based oil offerings, by adding the new Solei Plus+ high potency oil to its innovation lineup.
