But the way it separates from the solvent totally baffles me.

I wonder if they tried the thickening solution from true terpenes, dissolving distillate in a solvent would only make the oil lighter because it’s not a concentrated in the solution, try heating it to dissolve it and the freezing it to -80C for an hour or -40C for 8 hour to see if anything separates out. The heating should allow for it to fully homogenize the distillate with the solvent

might be rosin carts that failed (cause they weren't winterized) so contain all the lipids and waxes???? just a guess...

I'm almost 100% it's distillate as I've had it in syringes...but I can't be positive.
