Both live resin and live rosin are top-tier cannabis concentrates prized for their high terpene content and fresh flavor. But what sets them apart?
Live Resin (BHO-Based)
How It’s Made:
Fresh-frozen cannabis is extracted using hydrocarbon solvents (butane or propane).
The result is a flavorful, terpene-rich concentrate like sauce, badder, or diamonds.
✅ Pros:
High terpene retention
More affordable than rosin
Can be produced in large quantities
❌ Cons:
Requires solvent purging
More regulated due to butane use
Live Rosin (Solventless)
How It’s Made:
Fresh-frozen cannabis is ice water washed to collect trichomes (bubble hash), then pressed with heat and pressure to extract rosin.
✅ Pros:
100% solventless, no purging needed
Extremely high-quality and flavorful
Preferred for health-conscious consumers
❌ Cons:
More labor-intensive
Higher production costs
Which One is Right for You?
If you want top-tier flavor and a solvent-free product, live rosin is king. If you prefer a more cost-effective, scalable extract with similar terpenes, live resin is a great choice.
