Joe Phillips with wife, Jenny and son, Hank
The Early Days
Initially founded by Jason and Olga Cohen in 2018, Tessera Naturals was formed after the couple discovered the benefits of CBD earlier that year, but experienced huge inconsistencies with various products providing radically different results.
The Cohens sought to develop their own line of products as clean as they are reliable, and after many months of research and development, and partnering with the industry’s leading scientists and product formulators… Tessera Naturals was born!
Passing the Torch
As the years went by and their business grew, the Cohens decided to leave their company in the capable hands of Joe Phillips.
Phillips, a U.S. Navy veteran with a BS in Chemical Engineering, offers expertise and experience that dwarfs most CBD vendors.
The entrepreneur spent years in pharmaceutical process development while also running several small businesses since 2009. During his tenure in pharmaceuticals, Phillips researched CBD’s many potential benefits.
Same Mission, New Approach
Joe, an avid outdoorsman, sees nature as a source of fun and a largely unexplored frontier of hidden therapeutic benefits.
As an arthritis patient, Phillips knows the limiting effects firsthand and sees CBD as a possible solution.
But Joe’s motivation isn’t just to reduce his discomfort and support general wellness. Other members of his family deal with daily issues that may be manageable with CBD.
His wife, Jenny – whom he has been happily married to for ten years – deals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), while his eight-year-old son, Hank, lives with ADHD. Joe also has an uncle with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Phillips hopes that studies can soon irrefutably prove CBD’s effectiveness against arthritis, ADHD, MS, stress, and more with some preliminary evidence behind him.
Until then, Joe continues Tessera Naturals’ mission to provide organically-grown, affordable, safe CBD.
Why We’re Here
Tessera Naturals’ mission seeks to address a serious problem – not all CBD is created equal.
When the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first looked at CBD products, they came to a horrifying conclusion. Nearly 70% of the extracts contained more or less CBD than advertised on their labels.
Some products carried more than 0.3% THC – the federal legal limit before cannabis goes from “hemp” to “marijuana” (both arbitrary and non-scientific terms referring to the same plant, Cannabis sativa L.).
Cannabis’ largely unregulated status means it’s easy for unscrupulous vendors to grow substandard hemp. Consequently, customers risk getting more than just CBD.
Synthetic pesticides and herbicides, chemical fertilizers, heavy metals, microbes, and fungi all compromise your CBD’s quality, safety, and effectiveness.
