Questions about Color Up

We want you to understand what is in your formula, what the available testing shows, and what to expect from an order. For a question about your batch or shipment, email support@colorupco.com with the product name and order or lot number.

Color Up and our skincare

What is Color Up?

Color Up is a professional skincare and education company that has worked with hemp-derived cannabinoids since February 2015. We formulate our products and work with an off-site manufacturing partner to produce them.

Are you the same company that used to be Color Up Therapeutics?

Yes. Color Up began as Color Up Therapeutics and later used other trade names like VXN Wellness and VXN Lab during an ownership and branding transition. We are now operating under the Color Up name.

Why does Color Up choose CBD isolate for facial skincare?

A defined CBD ingredient profile suits our approach to facial formulation. This is a formulation decision informed by our experience, not proof that isolate is better for every person or that a finished Color Up formula treats a condition. Read our explanation and research summaries.

What is the difference between CBD isolate and full-spectrum extract?

CBD isolate is a purified cannabidiol ingredient. Full-spectrum hemp extract contains CBD with other naturally occurring cannabinoids and can include THC. Check the ingredient list and the report for your specific product and batch rather than inferring a finished-container amount from the ingredient name.

Is hemp seed oil the same as CBD?

No. Hemp seed oil is pressed from seeds and is used as a cosmetic oil. A CBD ingredient is a separate cannabinoid material. Check the complete ingredient list for the product you are considering.

Are all Color Up products vegan or fragrance-free?

No single answer applies to every formula. Some products contain beeswax or aromatic ingredients. Check the current ingredient list on the individual product page and package, and contact us if an ingredient is important to your choice.

How should I choose a product for sensitive skin?

Review the complete ingredient list and directions for the specific product. If you have known sensitivities, a diagnosed condition, or a history of reactions, ask a qualified healthcare professional before use. A botanical ingredient does not guarantee that a formula will suit everyone.


Testing and research

Where can I find a certificate of analysis?

Start with the COA linked on the product page or our lab-test library. A report applies to the batch, material, date, and container size named in it. Email us with your product and lot information if you need help finding a match.

What is the difference between an ingredient COA and a finished-product COA?

An ingredient COA tests a supplied batch of CBD isolate or full-spectrum extract. A finished-product COA tests a product batch and, when reported, its amount per container. An ingredient result is not a substitute for a finished-product result.

Does “ND” mean zero THC?

No. “ND” means the laboratory did not quantify the analyte under that method's reporting limit. Read the limit and units on the report. It does not establish an absolute zero or guarantee a drug-test outcome.

Will a CBD isolate product pass a drug test?

We cannot guarantee a drug-test result. If testing matters to you, review the report for your specific product and batch and ask the testing program about its rules before choosing a product.

Do the studies on your site prove that Color Up products work?

No. We link research to explain what scientists studied and what questions remain. Those studies did not test our finished products. We describe the study type and limits alongside each link. Explore the isolate and skincare research guide.

Are Color Up products intended to treat medical conditions?

Our skincare is offered for cosmetic routines and professional skin care. The education we share does not establish that a Color Up product diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents a disease. Bring individual health questions to a qualified healthcare professional.


Federal rules and full-spectrum products

What does the 0.4 mg rule mean?

A federal hemp definition scheduled to apply on December 11, 2026 excludes finished containers with more than 0.4 mg of combined total THC and certain THC-like cannabinoids. The number is per finished container, not a limit on CBD. Other federal and state requirements also apply. Read our regulatory overview and source links.

What is changing for Color Up full-spectrum products?

Color Up plans to discontinue its current full-spectrum range before December 11, 2026. Product pages and batch reports provide the current amounts for the sizes offered. We may reconsider full-spectrum formulas if future law permits amounts that meet our formulation standards.

Is Color Up already LegitScript certified?

We are preparing website and product information for LegitScript's review. Preparation is not certification or approval of any product.


Orders and professional access

Can I change my shipping address after ordering?

Please check your shipping address before submitting your order. If you spot an error, contact us promptly. A requested change is not effective until we explicitly confirm it, and we cannot promise a change once fulfillment begins. See our shipping policy.

When will my order ship?

Processing and delivery estimates vary by product and destination. See the estimate at checkout and our shipping policy. Delivery dates are estimates unless we expressly confirm a specific arrangement.

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

Email support@colorupco.com with your order number and clear photos so we can review what happened. Our refund policy explains the current process.

Where can professionals find products and education?

Eligible professionals can use our professional registration to request access to products and learning resources. Pricing and availability depend on the approved account. Contact us if you need help signing in.


Professional Dispensaries

What is a Color Up Professional Dispensary?

It is a Color Up shopping experience connected to a participating skincare or wellness professional. The purpose is to make product education and personalized guidance easier to reach while giving small professional practices a meaningful place in the client relationship. Some configured professional storefronts are already processing orders as we test and expand the network. Color Up also intends to introduce new customers to participating professionals through its education and marketing; participation does not guarantee traffic or sales. Explore Professional Dispensaries.

Do I need to book an esthetician appointment to buy products?

No. You can buy products without scheduling an appointment or consultation. A participating professional may offer product guidance, education, and optional in-person services where available. Personal support is an opportunity, not a purchase requirement.

Will I be connected with a professional near me?

Color Up plans to connect shoppers with a nearby Professional Dispensary as more qualified professionals join. That geographic connection is rolling out; it is not yet available everywhere, and we do not have professional coverage in every state. You do not need to wait for a local appointment to shop.

Who handles my order and who provides product guidance?

For orders through the Professional Dispensary platform, Color Up handles checkout and payment processing, applicable sales-tax administration, fulfillment, and shipping-related customer service. The participating professional provides product guidance, education, and personalized client support. If you need help with a shipment, contact support@colorupco.com.

What training do participating professionals have?

The intended Professional Dispensary operators are graduates of Color Up's Cannabis Master education who also hold the professional licenses applicable to their work and location. Color Up's certificate is not a government license. American Spa covered the program's 2019 online launch, and reported on practitioner scholarships in 2023. Explore Color Up education.

How can I reach Color Up?

General Skincare Guidance

Is a new skincare product suitable for sensitive skin?

Suitability depends on the complete formula and your individual sensitivities. Review the full ingredient list for ingredients you know you react to. A botanical or hemp-related name does not guarantee that a product will suit your skin. If you have a history of reactions, ask a dermatologist before trying something new.

What if my skin is acne-prone?

We cannot promise that a product will not cause breakouts or that it will treat acne. Introduce one new product at a time so you can track how your skin responds. If new breakouts or irritation appear, stop the new product and ask a clinician if symptoms persist or worsen.

How should I check a new product on a small area?

Before applying it broadly, follow any testing instructions on the label and try a small amount on a small area of intact skin. Use the product as directed: rinse off rinse-off products, and do not leave them on longer than instructed. Do not test on irritated or broken skin. Stop if discomfort or a reaction occurs. A home spot test cannot rule out an allergy or guarantee future tolerance; a dermatologist can advise on formal allergy testing.

Are hemp seed oil and cannabinoid-infused formulas the same?

Do not treat these terms as interchangeable when choosing a product. Check the specific product's full ingredient list rather than relying on its name. Ask our team for ingredient information if the label is unclear, and direct questions about cannabinoid safety or suitability to a qualified healthcare professional.

Will an oil-based product feel greasy?

Texture and skin feel depend on the whole formula, the amount applied, and your skin. An ingredient name alone does not establish how a finished product will feel. Follow the amount stated in the product directions rather than applying extra.

How do I use a product safely?

Follow the directions for that specific product, including where to apply it, how much to use, and whether and when to rinse it off. Do not apply a body product to your face or eye area unless its directions allow it. Do not assume that all cleansers, oils, serums, or masks share the same application times.

When should I speak with a clinician?

Ask a qualified healthcare professional before introducing a new product if you have a diagnosed skin condition, use prescription skincare, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a history of significant allergic reactions. Stop using a product if it causes irritation. Seek medical advice for persistent or worsening symptoms, and urgent medical help for trouble breathing or significant facial swelling.
