Ripple is a Colorado cannabis-edibles brand built around water-compatible cannabinoid powders and fast-acting formats. Created by Stillwater Brands, it sells measured packets that dissolve into food or a drink and supplies the same active technology in gummies, quick-dissolve sticks and tablets.
Founders and origin
Stillwater Brands was co-founded by Justin Singer and Jeremy Goldstein, who also run the company's ingredient business, Caliper Foods. Singer has traced the idea to his 92-year-old grandmother asking for cannabis, and to the awkwardness of dividing a 100-milligram brownie into something smaller and more predictable. That problem pushed the team toward water-compatible cannabinoid ingredients made under licensed production.
Product lines
The core Ripple packets are powders that dissolve into food or drinks. Around them sit Riplets, small tablets; Ripsticks, single-serve quick-dissolve sticks; and Ripz gummies. A separate Ript Gummies line and a hemp-derived Delta-9 line extend the range beyond state-licensed THC channels.
Formulation and research
Ripple's positioning rests on a research program the company documents on its own site: four pharmacokinetic studies run between 2018 and 2022 covering THC and CBD, with the 2021 THC study published in the journal Pharmaceuticals. The company uses that work to support its claim that its products are absorbed faster than market-leading gummies.
Licensing and distribution
Ripple has reached markets outside Colorado through licensing partners. In 2020 The Green Organic Dutchman launched Stillwater Brands' Ripple products in Canada. The ingredient side of the business, formerly Stillwater Ingredients, was rebranded as Caliper Commercial Ingredients in 2019 and supplies powdered cannabinoids to other manufacturers.
