John’s cbd review 2022

After the 2018 Farm Bill was passed, Texas is fast embracing CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC federally legal. It has several CBD brands, John’s CBD being one. While reviewing the company, we found many likable things about it, including its wide range of products, including CBD and THC tinctures, edibles, topicals, vapes, hemp flowers, and isolates. Besides, it has a line in its inventory that offers CBD tinctures for pets. John’s CBD features all the three CBD formulations, including isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD, allowing CBD fans with different needs have a favorite pick. It sells the CBD products in its inventory for $14- $100, an affordable range accommodating CBD users with different purchasing powers. The company ships all orders above $50 for free and offers users a bag for the orders. Since its inception in 2016, John’s CBD has upheld the mission to offer the best CBD for the best prices to ensure accessibility to all who need CBD products. The CBD items in John’s CBD inventory feature a 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range, allowing a wide margin for CBD clients to hop into. The brand’s website is well-designed and provides enough information about when the company was launched, the product it offers, several blogs on CBD, and the Learn section contains an informative FAQ section answering most CBD- and company-specific questions.

About the Brand

John’s CBD is a 2016-launched brand located in Texas, celebrating its sixth year this year. It is an online CBD distributor that shares the mission of providing the best CBD at the best prices for its clients to ensure accessibility for CBD fans who need the products. In 2020 when it turned 4 years in the hemp space, it received the Texas Department for Agriculture License for legally growing industrial hemp. Since then, it has grown its hemp legally and uses it to manufacture isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD.

John’s CBD specializes in a range of hemp products featuring CBD and THC. They include CBD tinctures, topicals, vapes, edibles, pet tinctures, and hemp flowers, which you can easily buy from its website. Shipping happens to all the US states, and the company offers free shipping and bags for orders worth or above $50. Still, it does not offer a military veteran discount, but a 30-day money-back guarantee applies to all sales.

The CBD items, including tinctures, pet tinctures, edibles, topicals, vape, and whole-hemp flowers, have 250- 3000 mg concentrations. Still, the potency of different items ranges from 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml, well within the novice range. They cost $14- $100, a range catering to different clients with varying purchasing powers. At an average price point of $0.02- $0.05 per mg CBD, the brand sells its CBD items cheaply. It conducts 3^rd party tests and posts the results online, helping it build confidence in clients about the credibility of its items.

John’s CBD is reputable in the hemp space and is one of the biggest brands in the USA. Not only is it rising well above others because of the many items in its inventory, but also because it has an A+ rating on the BBB website. We also checked the FDA complaints as part of our review of the brand, and we are happy to say that it has no complaints registered by the FDA against it. It uses organic hemp to manufacture its products, and all its products, except hem flowers, feature CO2 extraction, a clean method that ensure no industrial solvents are unnecessarily attached to the final products.

Specs

The following specs are true about John’s CBD company, at least based on our review of the website and customer experience;

• The company deals in an extensive product range.
• You can buy CBD tinctures, pet tinctures, edibles, capsules, and topicals on the company’s website, as well as many THC products.
• The different products on the company’s website sell for $14- $100, which is not too high, featuring CBD fans with different purchasing powers.
• The company has an average price point of $0.05 mg per CBD, well below the market average and what other companies of the same caliber offer.
• Free shipping and a bag are offered for all the orders worth $50 and above.
• John’s CBD is based in Texas and sources its hemp in the same location.
• It employs the clean CO2 extraction method to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces
• There is no centralized lab result hub for posting all the 3^rd party lab tests
• CBD products are tested for the cannabinoid profile, THC/CBD content, and their purity against standard contaminants like filth, molds, heavy metals, organic matter, and industrial solvents

Hemp Quality

Hemp quality is the ultimate determinant of the quality of the final products a brand produces, making it a critically important factor. It is no wonder that most brands that have managed to uphold their reputation and transparency in the hemp space go to all heights to use good quality hemp when manufacturing CBD products. John’s CBD is no exception, it uses organic hemp to manufacture CBD products. Based on the positive customer reviews and the detailed Learn section that details many things about the company, we learned that it sources its hemp locally within the USA. When it was launched in 2016, and over the next 4 years, John’s CBD would liaise with local Texan farmers for hemp. However, in 2020, it received licensing from the Texas Department for Agriculture, allowing it to grow industrial hemp legally. It farms organic hemp in Texas in its farm, and the vertical integration it employs ultimately ensures it does not sell its CBD products cheaply. The mature hemp is then subjected to CO2 for extraction, a method deemed fit in the hemp surface for its ability to strip CBD and retain versatile compounds needed to augment CBD properties while not unnecessarily attaching industrial solvents to the final products.

Transparency and Reputation

There are many ways a brand upholds reputation and transparency in the hemp space. John’s CBD presents itself as a transparent brand by revealing sufficient information about it, including its mode of operation, when and why it was founded, its processes, and its products. Besides, the A+ rating on the BBB corporation website, lack of any FDA complaints, and the brand’s positive reviews are all indicators of a good reputation in the CBD market. As though that’s not enough, John’s CBD conducts 3^rd party testing to ensure it remains true and transparent to its clients. However, we could not easily trace the 3^rd party tests results online on the company’s official website. Lastly, the informative blogs and the Learn section provide critical information about the company, further contributing to its transparency.

Accuracy

Other than conducting 3^rd party tests, brands need to uphold accuracy to carry their names and maintain them in the CBD arena. Accuracy looks at the cannabinoid profiles of the CBD products, particularly the THC and CBD contents indicated on the product labels, against the actual contents. John’s CBD performs averagely in accuracy, with half of the products we ordered passing CBD tests and the other half failing. For instance, the 500 mg cream topically applied for pain had 488.6 mg CBD, revealing a 2.28% variance, well below the 10% acceptable variance limit. The other item whose cannabinoid profile we checked against the labels is the 750 mg CBD softgel which happened to contain 919.77 mg CBD or 30.65 mg per softgel instead of the 25 mg per container. This resulted in a 22.23% variance, surpassing the 10% acceptable limit by far. As such, John’s CBD has a long way to go in straightening the accuracy kinks to see new heights in the hemp arena.

The Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process is an important in the entire hemp cycle. Like the hemp quality, the manufacturing process informs how the final products will be and how their quality will reflect on the brand. The manufacturing process starts with hemp seed propagation and ends with CBD packaging when the products are ready for sales. Everything from hemp growing & harvesting, and CBD extraction, to 3^rd party tests, are all featured in the manufacturing process.

John’s CBD is a legal hemp grower of American hemp. From 2016 to 2020, it would source its hemp from Texan farms, but in 2020, it got licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture to produce high-CBD hemp. As such, it sources its hemp from its Texan farms and uses them to manufacture CBD and THC products. It uses organic hemp certified by the Texan Department of Agriculture and upholds the highest standards in hemp growing.

Once the hemp plants mature, John’s CBD liaises with farmers who harvest the high-CBD hemp flowers, parts, stems, and leaves for manufacturing CBD and THC products. The harvested parts are cured and processed, and the supercritical CO2 extraction method is employed to ensure the finest CBD and THC products are produced. The final products following CO2 extraction are isolates and full- and broad-spectrum CBD, which take care of all CBD fans. They are then molded into the different CBD delivery methods the brand offers, including CBD tinctures, pet CBD tinctures, topicals, edibles, vapes, and hemp flowers.

The next stage in the manufacturing process involves subjecting the extracts to 3^rd party testing. It is a quality procedure that ensures the CBD items in a brand’s inventory are true to the CBD & THC amounts indicated on the labels and that they are pure against standard contaminants, including molds, filth, heavy metals, organic matter, and industrial solvents. John’s CBD works hand in hand with independent brands to test the cannabinoid profiles and their purity against standard contaminants. Most brands post the lab tests online, preferably on a centralized hub where web visitors can easily view them. The 3^rd party lab tests for John’s CBD products were mixed, with some revealing a pass while others indicating that the products had too much CBD than indicated on the labels. After the 3^rd party lab tests are consolidated and uploaded online, the products are good for sales.

Product Reviews

One of the many things that make John’s CBD outstanding among other CBD brands is how it features many CBD items. It boasts a wide CBD product range and features mainstream and the less sold-out CBD items. You can find the following on the company’s website and order them online;

John’s CBD Tinctures

John’s CBD has some of the highest-quality CBD tinctures you would like to consider. Its CBD tinctures come in 500- 3000 mg CBD formulations boasts a potency range of 16.67- 100 mg/ml. The tinctures sell for $30- $90 and have an average price point of $0.03- $0.06, which is well within the market average. According to the John’s CBD website and product page, the CBD tinctures are taken sublingually for maximum bioavailability. Alternatively, you can add the tinctures to water, food, and drinks and still benefit from them.

John’s CBD Pet Tinctures

Do you have a furry whom you would like to buy CBD items? John’s CBD offers CBD tinctures for pets, and you might want to buy these for your dog. They sell for $20- $60 and pose an average price point of $0.05- $0.08 per mg CBD. The tinctures are administered to the pets orally and sublingually, but you can also add them to foods and drinks. The tinctures feature three strengths; 250, 500, and 1000 mg CBD. They have a potency of 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml, which is just great for the pets.

John’s CBD Beverages and Drinks

If you do not like CBD tinctures, you might as well go for CBD drinks and beverages. These are naturally flavored, so you like them. The CBD drinks and beverages include CBD decaf tea and caffeinated drinks in three and two options, respectively. Their dosages vary, and the instructions are found on individual product pages where you can easily access them.

John’s CBD Edibles

CBD tinctures are a great way of taking the cannabinoid, but many do not like it because of its bitter taste. A good alternative to CBD oils and tinctures are CBD edibles like the John’s CBD gummies you can find in the company’s inventory. These feature naturally flavored gummies without any synthetic materials. The gummies are 25 mg potent and come in 30-count jars, constituting 750 mg in the jar. Like other products in the company’s inventory, the CBD gummies are made from CO2-extracted CBD and are strictly oral. They cost $60 and have an average price point of $0.08 mg per CBD.

John’s CBD Topicals

John’s CBD also offers topical CBD items that you might want to tap on. These are strictly for external use and feature $0.06- $0.07 per mg CBD. They sell for $36- $64 and come in two potencies; 500 and 1000 mg, translating to a wide potency range of 8.33- 16.67 mg/ml. John’s CBD topicals come in full- and broad-spectrum formulations, allowing its clients to enjoy THC-free and THC-filled CBD. The CBD topicals are made from Co2-extracted CBD like other items in the company’s inventory.

John’s CBD Capsules

If you hate on CBD oils and tinctures, you might want to try CBD capsules. These are great for masking the bitter and earthy aftertaste of CBD oil and only need water for you to swallow them. John’s CBD capsules come in two potencies; 25 and 50 mg per cap, translating to 750 and 1500 mg CBD concentrations in the 30-count jars. The CBD capsules cost $48- $64 and have an average price point of $0.04- $0.06 per mg CBD. The CBD capsules feature broad- and full-spectrum formulations to enjoy THC-free and THC-filled CBD capsules.

John’s CBD Isolates

Many CBD users like CBD isolates with no other cannabis compounds but CBD. John’s offers CBD isolates in powdered forms you can opt for to enjoy CBD without terpenes and flavonoids. They come in 1000 mg packages with 1000 mg/ml potencies. At $30 for the 1000 mg CBD isolates, an average price point of $0.03 per mg.

John’s CBD Flower

John’s CBD offers CBD flowers in full-spectrum formulations allowing the user to enjoy the CBD with THC. They come in 3.5 and 7 mg packages. Unlike other CBD products in the company’s inventory feature CO2 extraction but not the hemp flowers. They do not feature any extraction process since they are packaged as they come.

What We Like About the Company

While reviewing John’s CBD, we especially liked the following about it;

• It conducts 3^rd party tests to ensure its products are pure against standard contaminants and have as much CBD and THC as indicated on the labels.
• The free shipping arrangement for all orders worthy and above $50 ensures customers can save on sales
• Incentives like bags when CBD fans meet a certain threshold attract more clients
• The 30-day money-back guarantee is a plus, helping CBD fans who are dissatisfied with a product to return it and seek a refund
• The CBD items come in isolate-based, full- and broad-spectrum CBD formulations, providing clients with a plethora to choose from
• The 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range helps CBD novices and vets to find something that meets their needs
• The CBD items have an average price point of $0.05 per mg CBD, well below the market average, indicating that the company sells its CBD items cheaply
• John’s CBD items cost $14- $100, a good range allowing CBD clients with low purchasing powers to have something for themselves
• There are several ways to reach the customer care desk, including a phone number, email address, and a postal address

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Despite the many pros, the brand has a few kinks to straighten to perform better in the hemp space and widen its loyal customer care desk. For instance;

• The brand offers free shipping, but it does not have a military discount plan
• Some items we ordered did not pass CBD tests, with some having more CBD than indicated and posing as high variances as 22%
• There is no live chat feature through which CBD fans can chat with the customer care desk and get instant responses
• Although John’s CBD conducts diligent 3^rd party tests, it does not post the results online, and you can only access them by reaching out to the customer care desk

Overall Verdict

Generally, our review for John’s CBD was positive, although there are a few areas that need improvement for the brand to do even better. We were impressed by the large range of CBD items and potency, the three CBD formulations, the low average price point of $0.05 per mg CBD, the 30-day money-back guarantee that allows dissatisfied clients to get refunds after returning the products, the free shipping arrangement and the free bag for all orders worth and above $50, and the several avenues to reaching out to the customer care department. Still, the company has a few kinks to do even better. For instance, while it claims to conduct rigorous 3^rd party tests in liaison with reputable labs, it does not post the results online, and one has to reach out to its customer care department to view the results. Besides, it offers free shipping that can benefit most CBD fans with low purchasing powers, but the $50 minimum threshold might not be a figure every CBD user can raise. The website is simply designed, but the entire avalanche of CBD and THC products on it might be overwhelming to many. Moreover, the 250- 3000 mg CBD concentration range is fair but not large enough to offer many CBD options for vets who need more potent CBD items. The 3^rd party tests for the CBD products we ordered we mixed, and while some items passed the CBD tests, others flopped, posing higher variance limits than the acceptable limits. The brand also claims that its products are free of standard contaminants, but the results are not readily available to prove the claims true. Lastly, while there are many ways to reach the customer care department, it took long before the customer care reps could respond to our emails, which was quite disheartening.

Ignite CBD review

Are you new to CBD products? CBD manufacturing industries have increased significantly due to the high demand for merchandise. Unfortunately, some are focusing on quantity and trivializing the quality. As a result, the consumers experience the negative effect. Several cases report the ineffectiveness of CBD products resulting to mistrust. Every manufacturing company should prioritize consumers’ health.

We desire to connect you with an authentic CBD brand that addresses your cravings. The ignite CBD company aimed at eliminating the negative disgrace of cannabis and CBD. When choosing manufacturers, cultivators, and growers, it is careful to attain safe and effective CBD products. Although Ignite CBD brand is new, Dan Bilzerian has made it known in the CBD marketplace. The company uses organically farmed hemp from Oregon, USA. They employ a food-grade ethanol process during extraction but report no ethanol traces in the end product. Additionally, all Ignite brand products are tested by independent third-party laboratories to confirm that the product information matches laboratory results. Also, the Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirms that these products have no pesticides, solvents, and heavy metals. All the results are published online for transparency. Each product page links the trademark’s devoted section for laboratory reports on the website. For instance, clients should check for batch numbers using https://ignite.co/pages/batch-numbers to match laboratory results. Furthermore, Ignite offers quality CBD accessories and merchandise, including topical, pods, gummies, and vapes. For more insights, follow our reviews.

About the Company

Ignite CBD brand company is based in California. It was established by a social media and entrepreneur celebrity called Dan Bilzerian in 2018. Although Ignite company is new, High times has classified it as the leading CBD vape pens marketer and highly honored in the CBD marketplace in America. High times is a widespread, global popular publication responsible for offering customers statistics on cannabis products, cultivation, and different regulatory issues. Analytically, Ignite CBD company received 7/10 on accuracy, reputation, and transparency. It is widely transparent, although it lacks particular transparency issues hence the rating.

The company offers enough information about contacts details and communication means. Moreover, this brand owns a wide PAQ page having support, ordering, available products, and CBD information. It sufficiently offers company leadership’s information, the management team’s experience, and biographies. When checking the product details on their website and labels, it offers information on CBD strength, the quantity of cannabidiol per dose, recommendations for use, extraction, and consumption methods. However, the company fails to offer easily accessible details about independent third-party laboratory testing results. In this case, it was rated 4/10 for accuracy. Consumers realized that no ingredient information label was found on vape pods during product reviews.

The throwaway vape merchandise’s ambiguous packing dosage guidelines contrasted with the recommended website serving details. When the Certificate of Analysis was reviewed, it found no microbiological contaminants but indicated that the cannabidiol quantity of chosen products was notably greater than what the label shows (188.9mg versus 150mg). Ignite cannabidiol is highly reputable within the CBD marketplace regardless of these details.

This company provides CBG oil merchandise with a suitable blend for improved energy. Certain studies have associated CBD with appetite regulation and energy balance.

People seeking to enjoy different cannabinoids’ full effects might profit from the brand’s broad and full-spectrum hemp oil tinctures. Ignite brand has twenty products in its litany, including vape pens (both disposable and reusable), gummies, oil drops, pods, lip balm, pet oil, energy shots, and topicals. The 150mg cannabidiol pod comes in 8 various flavors, with the cheapest Ignite CBD product costing $6.00, whereas the Recover and Relax bundle is most expensive at $73.95. Ignite offers you a 15% discount by subscribing to its newsletter.

The absence of the solvent is confirmed via the laboratory test reports provided on the company’s website. An independent third-party lab test each oil batch for potency and purity to prove the product details rhymes with the laboratory results. The COA reveals that Ignite brand’s products are void of solvents, heavy metals, and pesticides. These results are posted on its website for transparency. Each product page connects you to the website’s laboratory results through the https://ignite.co/pages/batch-numbers link. Notably, certain test reports show cannabinoid profiles but exclude impurities information. The company reports that its cannabidiol merchandise contains undetectable THC amounts. Therefore, an individual won’t experience highness when using them. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims CBD merchandise with THC below 0.3% has no psychoactive effect. For that reason, the ownership, distribution, and consumption of their merchandise are allowed throughout US territories and states.

Manufacturing Process

The FAQ page on Ignite’s website provides details concerning the hemp sourcing and extraction process. Its hemp originates from farms in the United States, specifically the Pacific Northwest area. We did not prove whether the growing farms or company complies with USDA or GMP standards. Actually, every Ignite CBD product is manufactured from pure cannabidiol isolate. In this regard, the company uses distillation and later recrystallization to clean the product. This extraction process yields a product with 0% THC and pure cannabidiol. Short path distillation allows cannabidiol molecular separation from various hemp plant compounds via the slow heating process. This process permits manufacturers to produce the best pure CBD form without adding other solvents. Ignite brand uses Evio Labs, an independent third-party laboratory, to test their merchandise. Evio Labs is an ISO 17025 approved lab, implying accurate results. ISO 17025 has been regarded as the best standard in approving products.

When purchasing cannabidiol products, the brand companies should offer customers a Certificate of Analysis (COA). This company neither publishes COA for merchandise on its website nor sends the newest laboratory reports with the merchandise delivery. We contacted the company to inquire about COA for purchased products. Fortunately, they offered the newest COA, although not for our specific product batch. However, the cannabinoid report we received only revealed CBD. The results showed that other cannabinoids and THC were lacking. The examined item is sold in 1.5ml or 150mg CBD/unit quantity. Nevertheless, the laboratory report indicated a greater concentration of 125.9mg CBD/mL or 188.9mg CBD/unit. Notably, the CBD concentration was 26% more than advertised, significantly above the 10% limit that many people regard as an allowable variance.

In addition, Ignite CBD brand’s product range is restricted to vape pens, cartridges, toothpicks, and oral tinctures. Moreover, every product is exclusively provided per serving. This brand provides flavor varieties within Calm, Recharge, and Lucid subgroups. These product subgroups are sold to clients seeking a certain effect. Notably, the impacts on mood linked to Calm, Recharge, and Lucid products are proclamations created by Ignite brand, but third-party laboratories have neither approved nor tested them.

The Lucid line is recommended to customers seeking products that improve their focus. In addition, this product is the most widespread, providing apple berry, blood orange, cinnamint flavors, menthol, spearmint, and unflavored alternative.

The Recharge line is preferred to customers desiring boosting after hard work or a busy day. It is found in tropical fruit, coffee flavors, passion fruit, and tangerine.

The Calm line suits clients seeking products that enable them to relax. It provides pink chill, lemon grass flavors, mango mint, and lavender. Everyone should understand that the above claims are not approved by the FDA or an independent third party. The CBD products from Ignite brand are discussed below.

Range of Products

Ignite CBD Toothpicks

These products are manufactured from spilanthes, xylitol, CBD isolate, sucrose, artificial and natural flavoring. They come in 250mg packets of 25mg CBD or 10 toothpicks. In addition, they come in passion fruit, lemongrass, mango mint, cinnamint, coffee, and menthol flavors. Ignite company recommends toothpick consumers to suck from one of its ends for about 5 to 10 minutes. Afterward, they should flip to the other side and repeat. The company directs that the consumers should chew toothpicks slightly at first. When the taste starts fading, customers should thoroughly chew toothpicks to relinquish the remaining constituents. Specifically, when mango mint toothpicks were tasted, a taste was suddenly felt.

Disposable Vape Pens

This product is manufactured from MCT oil, hemp, and other vital oils. They come in apple berry, pink chill, lavender, tropical fruit, tangerine, spearmint, and blood orange flavors. Disposable vape pens’ serving is bewildering. On packing, Ignite brand proposes one six-second puff while it indicates a three-second puff on its site. Apple berry pen contained a different apple taste present during exhalation and inhalation. Using the pen is simple as users inhale without pushing buttons to trigger the pen.

CBD Oral Drops

This product is manufactured from stevia, MCT oil, CBD, and another inherent flavoring. They come in a 1000mg/30ml bottle size. Clients can buy cannabidiol oral tinctures in tropical fruit, lavender, and blood orange flavors or choose unflavored tinctures. Ignite brand proposes the consumption of a single dropper or 1mg under the tongue, specifically in the morning and evening. However, the dropper does not indicate whether you should grasp the oil in your mouth for some time before swallowing. The liquid was sucked through the dropper during testing, and it showed a pretty viscosity. It was colorless, odorless, strong, with a nice fruity taste, with no aftertaste. Fortunately, the dropper available had 0.25ml increments purposed to help consumers measure sufficient oil needed for a dose.

What We Like About the Company

• Ignite CBD brand has a competitive pricing, majorly on isolate tinctures. Full and broad tinctures range within the market average.
• They have the best quality product delivery and packaging.
• It allows easy navigation of buying experience with different subsidy chances for returning consumers.
• The brand trends significantly in the marketplace.

What We Dislike About the Company

• Certificate of Analysis and extra test reports for every product is not provided on the site. COA only offered proven significant distinctions from a marketed perspective.
• Ignite brand has conflicting serving information for some products.

Overall Verdict

Vape pens are a great choice. They are pleasing solid merchandise manufactured with cannabidiol isolate at an affordable price. In addition, these pens come in numerous flavors, an advantage for people who dislike earthy CBD taste. For CBD beginners, consult an experienced cannabis connoisseur.

Onyx + rose review 2022

Onyx is a renowned CBD brand that boasts a decent product catalog of broad- and full-spectrum CBD products in the forms of capsules, edibles, topicals, tinctures, and pet items. It also offers delta-8 products for THC lovers. We generally liked our review for the brand, primarily because it tries to be informational to clients by providing educational blogs all over the website and detailing enough information on every product page. Its products boast a 2- 2000 mg CBD concentration variance, and cost $14- $179. However, its average price point of $0.43 per mg CBD is generally high compared to other organic, non-GMO, hemp-derived CBD products. Still, we appreciate the multiple potencies across the categories that offer clients a variety to choose from. Onyx uses the clean CO₂ extraction method to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces, and 3^rd party tests its products for contaminant purity and potency, after which it posts the lab test results on the respective product pages and on a centralized hub. Currently, it only ships throughout the USA and not internationally, and free shipping for all orders worth $100 and 30-day money-back guarantee arrangements apply for all orders.

About the Company

Onyx will be turning 4 years old this year after its launch in 2018. According to its website, Onyx puts client wellness at the forefront, so it only uses American-sourced organic hemp and applies the clean and safe CO₂ extraction method to manufacture its organic CBD products. Besides, it uses non-GMO hemp, helping it win an even larger loyal customer base since many health and ethical concerns now surround the genetic modification of organisms and consuming such or products made from them. Onyx offers broad- and full-spectrum CBD products, guaranteeing a full entourage effect. It also offers delta- 8 THC products, particularly for the lovers of this cannabinoid.

Onyx + Rosy stands out for many reasons besides using non-GMO, organic, American hemp to manufacture its CBD products. It does not take chances with its clients and strives to be as informational as possible. Its FAQ section is detailed and includes crucial information, such as the differences in the various cannabinoid spectrums, how hemp and marijuana differ, the possible effects of CBD, and extraction processes, which helps its consumers be aware of what goes into their system. Besides, it rigorously 3^rd party tests its products for standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, and others, and also examines them for potency, after which it uploads the test results online on the respective product pages. As if that’s not enough, it offers its clients a 30-day money-back guarantee and free shipping for all orders worth $100 and above throughout the US.

Onyx products are generally expensive and pose an average price point of $0.43 per mg CBD, which is higher than the market average. The items cost $14- $179 and feature multiple CBD concentrations, from 2 to 2000 mg CBD. Onyx also offers clients several options to explore for better deals and save on the purchase. For instance, its bundled deals across the same or various product categories allow clients to get the many products at subsidized prices, and subscribing to the brand plans enables one to get a 15% off total sales and free shipping, regardless of the destination.

Specs

The following specs are true to the Onyx + Rose CBD brand;

• The total CBD concentrations across the products categories are 2- 2000 mg
• CBD deliverable methods include bath bombs, topicals, tinctures, capsules, and pet items

• Delta- 8 THC products are available
• MCT oil is used to formulate extracts and increase their bioavailability and absorbability

Hemp Quality

Hemp quality is a major determinant of a brand’s CBD products quality, ultimately influencing whether a brand holds down or loses its clients. Consequently, reputable CBD brands grow their preferred hemp strains while others liaise with farms with the qualities needed for CBD products. Onyx + Rose sources its hemp from the US and liaises with farms whose hemp strains are phytocannabinoid-rich and have 13% or more total cannabinoid concentration, helping it use the right hemp that ticks the boxes for the desired qualities. The hemp in such farms is non-GMO and organic, and so are the natural ingredients the brand uses to manufacture its CBD products. It employs the clean CO₂ extraction method to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces.

Manufacturing Process

Onyx + Rose is a legal grower and processor of American hemp, which it sources locally. The hemp plants in such farms are non-GMO and organic, in harmony with the brand’s desire to deal in all-natural CBD products manufactured from non-GMO, organic hemp-derived CBD products. It uses the clean CO₂ extraction method to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces. This method is preferred in the cannabis space for its safety and efficiency, as seen in its ability to carefully remove unwanted components leave what’s needed without unnecessarily attaching solvents to the extracts. Onyx then uses MTC oil to formulate the delta- 8 THC, broad- and full-spectrum products, increasing their bioavailability once they hit the system.

The next stage is 3^rd party testing, a vital quality and control strategy Onyx + Rose executes to ensure its products are potent and safe for consumption. It liaises with 3^rd party labs to test products for standard contaminants, including heavy metals, solvents, residues, mycotoxins, and microbials, and THC & CBD potencies by comparing what is indicated on the product labels and the actual contents. It uploads the results on its website, and you can view them by clicking the View Lab Results link on every product page.

Range of Products

Onyx has a fairly wide product range and include the following;

Onyx + Rose CBD Tinctures

The brand offers broad- and full-spectrum tinctures featuring 1000 and 2000 total CBD concentrations. They come in various flavors, including mint, very berry, and coconut chocolate. They are formulated using MCT oil, making them more absorbable and bioavailable. According to the website, the tinctures are taken orally or sublingually, with a 30-60 second pause to allow absorption. They can also be added to foods and drinks.

Onyx + Rose CBD Softgels/Capsules

Each of the brand’s capsules constitutes a serving and delivers 25 mg CBD. They are formulated with MCT oil to improve bioavailability and are strictly taken orally. The capsules come in30-count jars, with 750 mg CBD concentration.

Onyx + Rose CBD Topicals & Skincare Products

The skincare products and topicals by Onyx + Rose are strictly used on the external parts. According to the website, they feature nothing but CBD oil and natural and organic ingredients. They feature 60- 500 mg CBD in broad- and full-spectrum formulations.

Onyx + Rose CBD Pet Items

The brand offers pet products in the form of broad-spectrum CBD tinctures and chews. The oils come in 250 mg CBD concentration and feature a 4.17 mg/ml potency. The chews help with soft spots and constant wagging of tails and come in 2 or 5 mg/unit potencies.

Onyx + Rose Delta- 8 Gummies

The zzz delta- 8 gummies come in fruity flavors. Although the brand’s website indicates that they are 50-75% less potent than THC, this is a mistake because they are actually 33-50% less potent than THC.

What We Like About the Company

We appreciated the following while reviewing the brand;

• The 30-day money-back guarantee allows dissatisfied clients to file claims and get refunds and exchanges for their products
• Subscribing to the company’s plans helps one get financial advantages, including 15% discounts on every order and free shipping
• Free shipping for all orders worth $100 and above to the USA helps clients save on purchases
• Onyx boasts a relatively wide product catalog with capsules, tinctures, pet items, delta- 8 THC, edibles, and topicals
• The broad and full-spectrum formulations the brand deals in guarantee clients a full entourage effect with and without the psychoactive ingredients
• Onyx + Rose is diligent about 3^rd party lab tests and liaises with a lab to run the tests
• The company posts lab results on the respective product pages and allows easy viewership by clients without asking for batch numbers and QR codes
• Using non-GMO, organic hemp for manufacturing CBD products boosts clients’ trust in the brand
• The clean CO₂ extraction method bused to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces ensures no solvents attach themselves to extracts, as seen in the online lab results with indicated no detection of solvents in the products across the various categories
• Onyx + Rose is exclusively information and has made its FAQ and Why O + R links detailed, helping clients and web visitors learn many things about CBD and other cannabinoids
• Using MCT oil to formulate CBD products increases their bioavailability

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Despite the pros, Onyx + Rose has its cons, including;

• The free shipping threshold of $100 is relatively high and may not be affordable for most clients
• There is limited information about the brand on its website
• Two of the products we ordered had higher CBD concentrations than indicated on the labels, with some even posing higher variances than the 10% acceptable variance limit
• The $0.43 per mg CBD is relatively high since it is well above the market average and may make the brand lose clients
• The brand does not ship internationally

Our Verdict

Our review for Onyx + Rose CBD brand was generally impressive because the brand has a relatively wide product range, uses organic, non-GMO hemp and all-natural ingredients to manufacture its products, conducts rigorous 3^rd party tests and posts the results on the respective product pages, offers free shipping for all orders worth $100 and above to the US and a 30-day money-back guarantee for all orders, and uses MCT oil ton formulate products, increasing their digestion, absorbability, and bioavailability. However, it does not ship internationally, has a high free shipping threshold, does not include information about the founder on the website, and has a higher average price point than the market average. Should it improve these areas, it will certainly win a competitive edge in the hemp space.

Kanibi CBD review

With the growing demand for CBD products, more CBD companies are being formed to cater to the consumer’s needs. However, some manufacturers focus on quantity and profits, risking their consumer’s health. For every legit company, the client’s needs should be the priority. For this reason, Kanibi CBD company has been established to solve problems regarding quality, safety, potency, transparency, and accuracy. All the hemp Kanibi uses in production is sourced from the United States. This hemp is organically grown without using pesticides or any chemicals. The company emphasizes quality and consistency since its products undergo double-third-party laboratory tests. The first laboratory tests the merchandise’s quality, potency, and safety. Later, the products are handed over to the second laboratory, which builds upon and verifies the outcomes of the previous one.

Additionally, Kanibi upholds transparency in their packing, website, CBD products’ variety, and the convenience of purchasing their items. Based on these advantages, its products are more expensive than others. Kanibi offers knowledge about their products and general CBD information on each web page to encourage clients to purchase. They publish potency and quality information with other independent third-party laboratory results for every product on the corresponding item page online. Kanibi consumers are aware of accurate purity and potency for every product before ordering, guaranteeing their customers quality products during purchase. The company offers various products, including gummies, cream, and softgels. Read through our review for more information about Kanibi CBD company and its products.

About the Company

Kanibi CBD company was developed in 2015 with the motto “Raising the bar on CBD,” as evident in the website. This company provides the best isolate, broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD products confirmed by two independent third-party labs, approving their products have extreme pure cannabidiol. Additionally, they claim that their cannabidiol products are accurately formulated, giving clients the Kanibi assurance. When clients select the Kanibi product range, they pick expert extraction, prized harvests, and GMP submissive processing using manufactured preservatives, flavors, colors, or chemicals. Furthermore, Kanibi leads in the CBD domain where it assures their clients of 100 % refunding for one month, regardless of whether the CBD product was opened and utilized.

Transparency

The company puts a disclaimer on the website claiming that clients must be 18 years and above to qualify for a purchase. They encourage customers to begin with 10 milligrams ounce/ day to estimate individual effects. If that proportion is insufficient, Kanibi recommends that consumers increase the amount gradually by 5 milligrams every 5 days. In addition, each person should determine products, preferences, effects, and CBD usage. The Kanibi site has concrete information on the product’s manufacturing method. It clearly outlines the distinction between its products with other isolates, broad, and full-spectrum CBD product alternatives. The double third-party laboratory results are accessible online on each product’s page. Also, all potencies and flavors provided by this company are presented for download. The third-party cannabidiol oil laboratory test reports and quality control values are posted online for consumers to access. Kanibi ensures this by using a unique strategy not known by other brands.

What’s more, the brand ensures that every batch’s product results are accessed in a particular potency or flavor. Kanibi examines for terpene profile, pathogens, heavy metals, total cannabidiol content, CBD potency, microbes like E. coli, along with other remaining diluents from the distillation process and extraction procedure. Every category is essential for defining the safety, efficacy, potency of cannabidiol products. Before selling any product, every batch undergoes second testing through another approved laboratory for a double quality guarantee. This strategy assures precise COA current information present in today’s cannabidiol market.

Accuracy

Kanibi is an authorized, legal grower of the best hemp with high-quality, pure hemp oil. The brand obtains high-quality hemp from vineyards in Kentucky, US. Kanibi employs a pure carbon dioxide extraction method for its products. This claim is proven by the nonexistence of ethyl alcohol in the purity results and laboratory reports. Also, double testing assurance is an essential safety and quality control tool that ensures the information about THC and CBD on the product label corresponds with the contents in the final product. The cannabidiol quality examination at Kanibi brand supersedes old industry levels. The laboratory results published online corresponded perfectly to our product labels’ batch numbers, using either readily available or scanning QR codes on every product’s matching webpage. In addition, the laboratory results for 10 milligrams of non-chemical gummies were found to have 2% for one gummy, which is below the allowed 10 percent variance. Also, the gummies were void of THC, chemicals, microbes, and other impurities. The laboratory results for 1500 milligrams of tincture contained a 2 % variance in cannabidiol with a 0.2 % THC level. The laboratory results for daily consumption of two softgels indicated a 3.92 % variance in cannabidiol content. This equals 48.04 milligrams cannabidiol concentration and overall 0.16 % THC per 50 milligrams dose. Furthermore, the peppermint tincture, softgels, and other products were below 10 % acceptable variance. Eventually, all the ordered products tested below the acceptable 0.3 % THC borderline, as indicated on the labels.

Reputation

The Kanibi site remains non-comparable with other CBD brands because of its dedication to transparency, customer support, and quality. By considering what the manufacturers provide on the CBD market, Kanibi favors consumers more by employing common ingredients free from chemical gluten. All their products have undergone independent double third-party testing. Moreover, Kanibi has managed to establish loyal clients, as is seen from the voluntary consumer testimonials posted on the website. Independent third-party test reports are posted on the website to help give consumers the best stringent, accurate, reproducible information about their cannabidiols products. The Kanibi’s consumers realize the brand tries to sustain the best quality by rigorous examination via ACS lab and higher consistent examination precision than all comparable trademarks.

Manufacturing process

Kanibi company functions with an association of farmers to access the best quality hemp each season. The company’s full-spectrum cannabidiol oil is obtained from non-chemical reared Kentucky hemp. It is comprehensive with CBD full spectrum for optimizing the entourage impact, although they have no USDA certification. In addition, all cannabinoid products are produced with the best carrier, Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT oil). This oil belongs to a saturated digestible fatty acid group, implying that the body absorbs greater cannabinoids for optimum bioavailability. Kanibi brand publicizes an “uncompromised dedication to freshness” by including the expiry date on the container’s bottom. The company gives effort and time to the purification, extraction, growing, and packing processes. These products are then refined, prepared, and packed in a GMP and FDA-approved facility before being released to two third-party testing laboratories for final results. One of these labs is among the best CBD quality testing in the United States that supersedes the recent cannabidiol testing standards utilized by many trademarks.

Kanibi company provides the best quality range of isolate, broad-spectrum, full-spectrum cannabinoids available in topicals, softgels, gummies, and tinctures. These organic, vegan Kanibi tinctures have common ingredients, like organic Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) oil. Their products ensure optimum bioavailability via carbon dioxide extraction, the purest extraction strategy popular among CBD companies. Based on Kanibi’s website, clients are guaranteed that this company outshines others by employing organic, natural plant constituents in manufacturing their cannabidiol products in an approved GMP facility, including the DEA-approved laboratory testing services of their commodities. However, their product list lacks any pet offering or CBD vape variety.

Range of products

Kanibi full-spectrum CBD oil tincture

Kanibi company provides five tastes that are lightly and complex refreshing. Its full-spectrum cannabidiol oil tinctures currently exist in two cannabidiol concentrations, including 1500 and 750 milligrams in a normal 30-milliliter size. However, the brand does not provide a lower potency alternative. This tincture can be swallowed, as indicated on the company’s product page. Every tincture consumer should shake the bottle contents adequately before opening.

Kanibi Organic Gummies

The label indicates these gummies are produced with exclusively organic ingredients and blended with the best quality cannabidiol distillate. They include their THC- free, natural ingredients and perfectly organic USA cultivated PCR hemp. Kanibi Organic gummies are obtained through a pure carbon dioxide technique and pectin rather than gelatin, making them vegan friendly. The gummies are available in combined fruit odors, featuring the strawberry, Woodberry, and orange cream taste.

Kanibi CBD Enhanced Sports Cream

Kanibi company reports that this product is a moisturizing, refreshing, cool cream mixed with clean, cannabidiol-rich oil. The sports cream shows a smooth and light texture and gets into the skin quickly without leaving oily remains. This is because it removes hassles and drips. Every pump has 6-8 mg of CBD, and the company recommends consuming one pump. Massage this product into your skin for optimum topical uptake until the body absorbs a significant amount.

Real scientific hemp oil CBD review

Real Scientific Hemp Oil CBD (RSHO) is a CBD trademark with excellent performance. The company offers exclusive products. It was established to help people maintain a healthy body and fit mental status while carrying out their daily activities. Although its website has a lot of information that might make navigation difficult, it is helpful, especially to people who wish to understand the brand better. Its detailed information and operations show its commitment to ensuring high transparency levels.

Most importantly, all their production is vertically integrated to ensure quality is maintained at each step until the products are delivered to the customer. Unlike most companies that assess their products for purity and potency affirmation once, Real Scientific does it thrice. Although they are not specific on where they get their hemp from, they mention that they obtain them from European farms.

About the Company

Real Scientific Hemp Oil CBD was established in 2012 and was among the first companies to offer marijuana-based medical products. Although there were other brands before, it was the first company to offer the best CBD oil that took over the market. Since then, the company has strived to maintain or increase the quality of its products to attract more customers and offer better solutions. Although the company is not certified by USDA and BBB, they insist that its products are organic and non-GMO. Also, despite the company failing to offer more information about its history, they have listed its team members and their responsibilities. The “about us” page has also outlined the company’s annual achievements up to 2021.

The website contains the latest features, making it easy to navigate. Notably, various details have been given in separate links. Shopping on the website is also easy, and payments are made fast from the bank or credit card. You can click on the ‘Shop’ link to access their line of products; gummies, tinctures, and topicals. Although they only offer the three, they have diversified potency and flavors to address the wider market demand. Besides each product, they have offered the name of the products and the potency level. However, you can access more product descriptions by clicking on each product. You will find information like the elements used, the purpose of the product, extraction method, how to administer, and the recommended dose.

If a product suits your demands, add it to your shopping cart by clicking on the “Add to cart” link in orange. Adding and removing products to our shopping cart was straightforward. After approving payments, we received an email address bearing the number of products we had ordered, a tracking number, and the expected delivery date. Using the tracking number, we noticed that the products left their stores on the same day and were delivered the day after, discreetly packed. This was quite beyond our expectation since they stated delivery within 7-10 days. Notably, they offer free shipping on purchases exceeding $100.

The company advises the consumers to check the product’s condition upon arrival to ensure they are not damaged. In our case, the products were delivered safely. However, if otherwise, the company advises its customers to file exchange complaints within 48 hours. Also, since they have confidence in their products, they offer a full refund guarantee if the products are ineffective. The company’s full refund complaint should be directed to the support team within 30 days. However, they only accept unopened products in their original packaging.

Since the company cares about its reputation, it offers a review page for customers to leave feedback on their interaction with the company, its systems, the support team, and its products. Although the website lacks a FAQ page, they have offered multiple contact details to help customers seek clarification. You can reach them using phone call (+1 866-273-8502), email address ([email protected]), and physical address (632 N. 2000 W STE 105Lindon, UT 84042-1798 USA). They don’t offer message boxes and live chat. We reached out to its support team seeking clarification on how they monitor hemp quality since they don’t have their farm. One of their support team representatives replied to our email within 24 hours with a detailed and satisfactory explanation.

Manufacturing Process

Although the company does not state where exactly they operate from and their hemp source, they have stated that all the manufacturing takes place within Europe with the aid of their parent company Dixie Botanicals. As a result, we were forced to refer to the information on Dixie Botanicals to understand their manufacturing process. According to the website’s information, they are authorized hemp plant growers and legal manufacturers of hemp-based products. A team of farmers established the company to offer unquestionable hemp-based products that address day-to-day health and wellness concerns. Since it is owned by a team of experienced farmers, the hemp quality is rich in naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes. However, finding information regarding the company is not easy since the company is not researchable, and the only way to access its information is through the parent companies.

The company uses the CO₂ extraction method to obtain useful terpenes and cannabinoids from the hemp plant. The method is eco-friendly and effective compared to other methods such as ethanol. The company processes its products in isolate and full-spectrum formulation using organic CO₂ hemp plant extracts, among other useful ingredients such as MCT oil. After extraction, filtration takes place. This is done using a heating method called one-touch that provides distinct oil.

According to the company, after the hemp has been harvested, purity levels are tested to ensure its organic. After extraction, the extracts are also tested to ensure no metals and heavy metals have penetrated the products. Lastly, the last lab tests are done for potency and purity levels after manufacturing. The company has mandated this responsibility to a reputable independent third-party lab for the tests. After the results have been obtained, the company posts them on their website.

Range of products

The company only manufactures tinctures, capsules, and topicals using C0₂ hemp plant extracts in two formulations; isolate and full spectrum.

Real Scientific Hemp Tinctures

This brand offers a satisfactory product description that makes customers understand the ingredients, potency level, administering, and function. They are formulated in isolate form using CO₂ hemp plant extracts alongside MCT oils for easy absorption. They are effective since they are in liquid form. Notably, these tinctures are not discreet like other products. The company recommends 1ml drop placed under the tongue for about 60 seconds before swallowing. The drops can be included in foods or beverages. Although the company offers each serving in a 30 ml bottle, they are offered in various potency levels ranging from 300 mg to 4500 mg from $20 to $249. Each serving comes with accurate marked tinctures.

Real Scientific Oil Topicals

Topical products are formulated uniquely using CO₂ hemp plant extracts alongside high levels of MCT oil for easy absorption and effectiveness into the skin. MCT oil is highly recommended in topical products since it’s a maximum carrier of bioavailability. However, the company only offers one topical product, CBD Hemp Salve in 50 mg at $49. It recommends it for topical use only.

Real Scientific Hemp Oil Capsules

Capsules have been considered the second-most effective method of administering CBD products. According to the product description, they are for oral use only and can be administered with pure water or any non-alcoholic beverage. The company offers two potency capsules, 750 mg, and 1500 mg, at different prices. Their price range is from $89 to $165. The company recommends a maximum dose of two capsules a day.

What We Like About the Company

Unlike most companies, it carries out triple lab testing; on its raw materials, after extraction and after formulation. Also, the company offers a 10% discount to first-time buyers and offers adequate product descriptions to make them understand the products better. In addition, it has proved to be a good ambassador of CBD since they offer an educational e-book, answering common concerns. Lastly, the company is committed to giving back to society by engaging in charitable activities such as education and collaborating with non-profitable institutions.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Some products are highly-priced, making them unaffordable despite their high quality. Although our products were delivered the day after ordering, the shipping information offered states that some products are delivered 7-10 days. This may be longer and might inconvenience people who need the products urgently. Lastly, their free shipping cut-off of $100 is quite high, while most brands offer free shipping.

Overall Verdict

We highly recommend their products since they have been manufactured with recent innovations and by a team of experts. Also, the products are safe since purity and potency tests are done thrice before the product is released to the market. However, to gain a competitive advantage, it needs to address the disadvantages highlighted.

Pacific CBD review 2022

Pacific CBD boasts a fairly wide CBD product catalog comprising tinctures, topicals, hemp flowers, gummies, pet items, and vapes. It offers all the products in isolate-based and broad-spectrum formulations, where the latter ensures a full entourage effect of cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, CBD, & CBG, terpenes, and flavonoids, while isolate CBD products exceptionally comprise CBD. It sources its CBD from Switzerland and manufactures CBD products from it, but the extraction method employed to isolate CBD oil is not revealed. Pacific CBD claims to test its products to ensure they are free of toxins and heavy metals, but the lab results reveal otherwise. Rather, it tests items for CBD & THC potency but not contaminants like heavy metals and microbials. However, we appreciated that the brand has a centralized hub for viewing lab results. With a $0.07- $0.37 per mg CBD average price point, the company fairly prices some products while others are expensive. It has a large potency variance of 80- 2000 mg CBD and sells its products for $9.99- $149.99. Does Pacific CBD measure up well enough to deserve your pence? Below is the full 2022 full review of the brand, which discusses everything around it, helping you determine its fitness.

About the Company

Pacific CBD is a Phoenix, Arizona-based CBD brand that deals in a range of CBD products, including tinctures, topicals, pet items, edibles, vapes, and hemp flowers. It offers its products in broad-spectrum formulation for full entourage effects without the psychoactive THC and in isolate-based formulations that exclusively allow no cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids but CBD. Its price points are within the range to above it at $0.07- $0.37 per mg CBD, meaning that some products in the inventory are fairly priced while others are expensive. The brand calls itself the home, where you get every CBD product, which is appropriate since it provides almost all mainstream CBD products.

You can check the brand’s FAQ link at the bottom of the page to learn more about the brand. It mentions through the very link that it sources it on top-of-the-line crystalline CBD from Switzerland, showing that it sources its hemp from Europe. The CBD products in the company’s inventory vary across a category by potency, and the total CBD concentrations for the vapes, tinctures, topicals, edibles, hemp flowers, and pet items in the catalog are 80- 2000 mg. It ships all the products to all the US states, except for South Dakota, because of legislative reasons.

The brand’s CBD is simple and easily navigable, giving web visitors and CBD consumers an easy time surfing through the page. The Contact Us section provides details you can use to reach the customer care, including a physical address (3150 N. 35th Ave Ste 8 Phoenix, AZ 85017), and email address ([email protected]), a call center’s phone number (480-634-4225), and the brand’s CBD specialist number ((602) 603-0134). The website also has an instant messaging feature one can use the text online customer care agents in real-time, although we used it but got no response up to date. Pacific CBD strives to be informational and shares information on the dedicated Pacific Co. Blog page and at the bottom of the home page.

Specs

Based on the information on the website, the following specs are true to Pacific CBD;

• Extracts are available in isolate-based and broad-spectrum formulations
• The company sources its on-top-of-the-line crystalline hemp from farms in Switzerland
• Extract deliverable methods include vapes, pet items, tinctures, topicals, hemp flowers, and edibles
• The total CBD concentrations range from 80 to 2000 mg
• The average price point for the brand is $0.07- $0.37 per mg CBD
• CBD products cost $9.99 to $$149.99
• Pacific CBD sources its hemp from Europe in Switzerland

• The brand does not reveal its extraction method used to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces
• A 30-day money-back guarantee applies, especially for unopened defective products
• Shipping takes 3-5 days
• A centralized Lab Report hub for posting lab test results

Hemp Quality

Hem quality is a critical factor in the cannabis space since it determines the quality of the final CBD products, ultimately helping a brand get hold of clients and win more or lose the customers it already secured. Consequently, reputable CBD brands source high-quality hemp that match the standards of the CBD products they boast. According to Pacific CBD’s website, the brand sources its hemp from Switzerland and imports it in the form of top-of-the-line CBD crystals. We tried reaching the customer care desk to get details about their hemp quality, but we got no response. However, Pacific CBD mentions in passing on the FAQ section that its CBD comes tested for harmful toxins and heavy metals and is free of these contaminants, but the online lab test results show that while the items were tested for THC and CBD potencies, contaminant purity was not tested. Besides, the company does not reveal the extraction method it uses to strip CBD oil from the surface.

Buying Experience

Buying products from Pacific CBD’s website is not a taxing experience. The site is straightforward and easily navigable, offering a smooth surfing experience. All one has to do is click the CBD Collection button on the main menu, which then collapses into six options for the product collection in the brand’s catalog, including pet, body (topicals), edibles, hemp flower, disposable pads (vapes), and drops (tinctures). Shopping on the site is intuitive, so you pick the items of interest, add them to the cart, and check out when done. The next step is filling in billing and physical location details, after which the order is processed, and shipping starts immediately, particularly when processing ends before 3.00 pm. Free shipping applies for all orders worth $50 and above, and the brand only accepts returns for defective or damaged products reported within 30 days from the delivery day. The products must be shipped back unopened for the guarantee to remain viable.

Manufacturing Process

Pacific CBD is a legal, authorized hemp dealer that sources hemp from Switzerland. According to its FAQ section, it imports hemp as crystalline CBD. It also adds that the CBD from Switzerland is top-of-the-line, indicating that the highest safety standards have been placing while preparing it. Nonetheless, the brand does not explain the extraction method the Switzerland farmers and processors use to process the hemp and extract CBD oil from it.

The next stage in the manufacturing stage is 3^rd party testing which all reputable CBD brands should execute to examine their products for THC & CBD potencies and purity against standard contaminants such as heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, foreign matter, filth, and many more. Pacific CDB claims that its 3^rd party tests all products in the catalog for contaminant purity and THC/CBD potency and posts the results online on the centralized Lab Report hub for easy customer viewership. While it is true that the products were indeed tested for THC and CBD potencies, the entries for contaminant tests read ‘NT,’ meaning not tested. This is one of the major kinks the brand has and needs to improve to perform better in the hemp space and win a competitive edge.

Range of Products

The following products are found in Pacific CBD’s catalog;

Pacific CBD Tinctures

The brand’s tinctures feature isolate-based formulations. They feature different CBD concentrations, ranging from 125 to 2000 mg CBD. According to the website, they are taken orally sublingually. The potency ranges are 4.17- 66.67 mg/ml.

Pacific CBD Topicals

The line includes an 80 mg isolate-based face and body lotion strictly applied topically. It also features joint, muscle, and soreness creams and rubs. They also feature isolated-based CBD in 125, 250, and 500 mg. Like lotions, the rubs are applied topically on the affected area.

Pacific CBD Disposables

The disposable vape line features pods in 200 mg CBD. They only come in natural terpene flavors, and feature broad-spectrum CBD for full entourage effects.

Pacific CBD Edibles

The edible product line features gummies that are fruity flavored. They come in isolate-based CBD formulations and offer three potencies for 125, 250, and 500 mg. The gummy neons, rings, and worms in this category are strictly taken orally.

Pacific CBD Pet Products

Pacific CBD pet product line offers isolate-based CBD tinctures. According to the website, they can be taken orally or sublingually but can also be added to foods and drinks. They feature two concentrations, 125 and 250 mg CBD, which are available in beef, chicken, and salmon flavors.

Pacific CBD Flower

The brand offers a hemp flowers’ product line, which is yet to be filled. The division was empty by the time we finished developing this review.

What We Like About the Company

Here are what we liked about Pacific CBD while reviewing it;

• The company conducts 3^rd party tests diligently and posts the results online on a centralized hub for easy viewership
• The free shipping is offered for all orders worth $50 and above, helping clients save on purchases
• Although the company’s money-back guarantee is complicated, it helps clients return defective products and seek exchanges
• The broad-spectrum CBD formulations offered by the brand guarantee clients a full entourage effect without the psychoactive THC
• The brand’s lower threshold for the average price point of $0.07, indicating that some products in its catalog are fairly priced
• The blogs on the dedicated page and the website’s homepage are detailed, helping clients learn different things about CBD
• The FAQ section is relatively detailed

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Although there were positive aspects of the Pacific CBD company, it also has its flip side of cons, including;

• The website lacks critical information, including the extraction method the brand applies to strip CBD from hemp surfaces
• The catalog lacks capsules and full-spectrum CBD formulated products
• The lab results do not include contaminant purity tests, proving that the company does not test for heavy metals and other contaminants
• The $50 free shipping threshold is relatively high
• The company’s money-back guarantee is limited to unopened defective products and does not allow dissatisfaction claims

Our Verdict

Based on our review, Pacific CBD is a good brand that can make it in the CBD industry by straightening its kinks. It has fairly impressive product lines, offers free shipping for all orders worth $50 and above throughout the USA, and third-party tests its products for potency. Nonetheless, its so-called money-back guarantee is complicated, its lab reports lack purity test results, and the website lacks critical information. Improving these areas will definitely help the brand do better.

Nanocraft CBD review 2022

The past few years have seen the US CBD marketplace bloom, with new brands coming up every day. That is certainly the case because the 2018 US Farm Bill gave more impetus for hemp entrepreneurs to enter the CBD industry. That said, not many brands can boast coming to existence before that landmark Farm Bill. On the other hand, Made by Hemp boasts many years of hemp advocacy. Having been established in 2013, Made by Hemp is a Michigan-based CBD brand whose mantra is to provide quality hemp extracts infused in numerous varieties of flavorings, top-shelf products, and wellness supplements.

Made by Hemp runs a top-notch CBD shopping site featuring various CBD-infused products that range from top-shelf natural flavorings and terpenes to high-quality hemp extracts.

The site is quite detailed, intuitive, and easily navigable. We found it quite impressive because it made our shopping journey quite seamless.

Background: About the Company

Made by Hemp is a Michigan-based premier CBD company founded in 2013 and independently owned by Jeff Gallagher. The founder, Jeff, had a life-altering experience with cannabis and decided to harness the therapeutic potential of CBD. Therefore, he came up with a brand that could help people enhance their health and overall well-being. The company utilizes a customer-oriented business model that ensures all its product offerings have an equal or greater CBD amount than advertised. This is done specifically to exceed consumer expectations. Further, its product catalog contains a THC amount less than the allowable limit of 0.3%.

Having been on the company website, we were impressed with its commitment to educational content regarding CBD. The website runs a comprehensive blog that is anchored towards informing beginners about hemp use while helping them make informed decisions. That, coupled with the company’s quality hemp sourcing and GMP-approved manufacturing practices, is the reason Made by Hemp has remained the mainstay it is in today’s CBD marketplace.

The company utilizes US-grown CBD-rich industrial hemp cultivated using natural, organic, non-GMO, and sustainable agricultural practices engineered to protect mother nature. Up until 2016, the company started to enlist other sources of hemp, including Europe and Canada. This was only done to meet its ever-growing demand for quality hemp-infused products. But that stopped in 2018 when the company started growing its hemp on licensed farmlands located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. According to the company website, it is clear that Made by Hemp is committed to the quality and safety of its products. The company, aside from using US-sourced hemp, utilizes the gold standard supercritical CO2 extraction method to obtain CBD, terpenes, and phytonutrient-rich extract essential for the hemp’s entourage effect plant.

The company also enlists the services of ISO-certified independent third-party lab testers who verify the purity, consistency, and cannabinoid integrity of its CBD products. That aside, the company’s customer-facing interfaces, such as the website, shipments, deliveries, and the customer service team, are quite impressive. The website has an intuitive design and is well organized, and has a “CBD Shop” link where customers can browse products based on ingredient lists, preferences, goals, price points, and suggested uses. Other useful aspects such as the FAQs, the Blog post, and the onsite live chatbox can offer key information for anyone with inquiries or looking to get started with CBD oil.

Additionally, the company’s numerous customer assistance programs caught our eye. Aside from its 30-day money-back satisfaction guarantee and the 40% military veterans discount, the company also runs numerous savings deals that customers can benefit from.

Manufacturing Process

Having been established in 2013, Made by Hemp is one of the oldest top brands in the CBD marketplace and prides itself in its extensive background in hemp-based research and the cultivation of genetically strong strains of CBD. In the beginning, the company sourced its industrial hemp from both within the USA and across the borders in Europe. But from 2016, the company shifted to only US-grown hemp after it acquired the license to cultivate its hemp in organic farmlands based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. But to meet the ever-growing demand for its products, the company also partners with local farmers who practice organic agricultural methods to supply hemp to its Michigan manufacturing facility.

Made by Hemp CBD partners only with farmers who adhere to organic and sustainable cultivation methods because the founders believe in environmental conservation and protection of mother earth. That said, all products in the catalog are formulated using CO2 extracted CBD-rich extract, along with active organic ingredients. The company’s manufacturing criteria are anchored on the pillars of quality, purity, transparency, and environmental conservation. Having explored the aspects mentioned above about the company, it is clear how it shines through its business practices, manufacturing process, product formulations from seed to sale. Further, the company’s dedication to quality and consistency is evident by its Michigan-based GMP-approved quality-controlled facilities to ensure product safety and a worry-free consumer experience.

The company monitors all production steps from seed to sale while utilizing industry-standard manufacturing and extraction practices to guarantee the highest-quality product catalog. The company enjoys a stellar reputation for its wide range of quality products, effectiveness, and dedication to customer service. At the Michigan manufacturing facility, mature hemp harvested and shipped from Grand Rapids undergoes extraction via super clean CO2 extraction. This criterion is considered the cleanest method to obtain the cannabinoid-rich extract that contains all useful terpenes and active phytochemicals that contribute to hemp’s entourage effect. The company’s product line is formulated in-house using all-natural and organic ingredients to produce a wide range of product offerings that comprise hemp isolates, broad-spectrum, and full-spectrum.

At this stage, the company ships all its product batches to licensed independent third-party lab testers to verify and certify their cannabinoid composition and label claims, respectively. Here, the independent lab testers carry out a comprehensive phyto-forensic analysis to ascertain the label accuracy, THC composition, and cannabinoid integrity of all the extracts. After that, the company publishes this information on its website for quick access by site visitors.

Lazarus naturals review 2022

Lazarus Naturals stands out for providing consistent, high-quality organic certified hemp-derived CBD affordably to all who need it. It has a history that dates back to 2014 when it would sell handcrafted products to small farmers markets but now boasts an impressive CBD product catalog with gummies, softgels, topicals, coconut oil, RSO, tinctures, and pet items available in isolate-based and full-spectrum formulations in multiple flavors and potencies. It prices its products affordably, with an average price point of $0- $1 for the $9- $2800 product price range, which is well within the market range, considering the high-quality products the brand offers. Lazarus Naturals is a transparent brand that readily avails all its 3^rd party test results on a centralized online hub, which has helped it clear its name in the past when its products reportedly tested positive for heavy metals. Its Oregon-sourced hemp is ethanol-processed to provide the products in its catalog. Here is our full 2022 review for this brand.

About the Company

Lazarus Naturals was founded in 2014, when the CEO, Sequoia Price-Lazarus, and a small team set out to sell handcrafted products in the small farmer markets. It is located in Portland, Oregon, where the offices are. According to its website, it has a mission of providing CBD products to people who need them affordably. These efforts are seen through its Assistance Program that offers 60% off to military veterans, active military personnel, long-term disabled people, and those from low-income households. As if that’s not enough, it donates to non-profit making organizations, including Women In Need and The Epilepsy Foundation.

The brand sources its organic, non-GMO hemp from Oregon farms known to have near-perfect growing conditions. Lazarus Naturals is a proud member of several hemp bodies, including the Oregon Industrial Hemp Farmers Association, and it upholds its high standards in cultivating hemp. Instead of using the popular CO₂ extraction method to strip CBD from hemp surfaces, it uses human-grade cane-based ethanol, and it is among the few companies that use this extraction method successfully. Its product inventory is wide and includes RSO items, pet products, tinctures, edibles, topicals, softgel capsules, and isolates. It rigorously conducts 3^rd party tests in liaison with Columbia Laboratories and religiously avails the results on the centralized Product Test Results link under the Learn section of the website. It offers free shipping for orders worth $50, and a 90-day money-back guarantee applies to all US sales.

Specs

Based on its website, the following specs describe Lazarus Naturals;

• Extracts available in full-spectrum and isolate-based formulations
• A large product catalog featuring capsules, edibles, isolates, RSO, tinctures, topicals, and pet items
• Products cost $9- $2800
• The product price point range is $0- $1
• The human-grade ethanol extraction method is used to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces
• A centralized lab results hub
• A professionally-designed website
• A 90-day money-back guarantee applies
• Free shipping for orders worth $50 and above
• The total CBD concentrations range from 240 mg to 1 kg
• US-sourced hemp
• cGMP-guided manufacturing facilities

Hemp Quality

Lazarus Naturals sources hemp from Oregon farms and uses it to manufacture CBD products. The hemp plants in the farms are organic and non-GMO, which is quite in order, considering the ethical concerns people have regarding the genetic modification of organisms. The hemp plants are occasionally tested while on-farm for pesticides and potency, ensuring they are safe and potent enough to generate phytocannabinoid-rich hemp flowers for the premium quality products in the brand’s inventory. Lazarus Naturals employs ethanol extraction to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces at its cGMP-guided lab facilities.

Manufacturing Process

Lazarus Naturals is a legal, authorized grower and processor of US hemp sourced from Oregon farms. Oregon is the third-largest hemp-growing region, considering its climatic conditions are near-perfect for hemp plants. The farms grow hemp sustainably and organically, allowing no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to constitute contaminants in the final products. Besides, the hemp plants are USDA-certified organic and feature non-GMO strains, just ideal for premium quality CBD products.

Although most reputable CBD brands use CO₂ extraction to strip CBD from hemp surfaces, Lazarus Naturals uses human-grade, cane-based ethanol extraction to strip is extracts from the hemp surfaces. According to its website, this method is cheap and ensures quality, allowing the brand to provide high-quality products at affordable prices. The resulting extracts are in isolate-based and full-spectrum formulations and are further formulated with MCT oil to increase bioavailability before being made into tinctures, edibles, topicals, pet items, RSO, isolates, and many more.

Lazarus Naturals stands out for many reasons, and lab testing is one of them. It tests its hemp for pesticides and potency while still on farms and subjects the extracts to the same tests, with an addition of heavy metals and solvents, in-house. This ensures the extracts, particularly isolates, are free of solvents from the ethanol extraction method. Next is 3^rd party testing, which screens the extracts for THC & CBD potencies and purity for standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, solvents, residues, and pesticides, and posts the results online of the centralized Product Test Results hub. The reports show that all products are pure, pose CBD variance within the 10% acceptable limit, and are have less than 0.3% THC, especially for the full-spectrum products.

Range of Products

Lazarus Naturals boasts a wide product inventory with the following products;

Lazarus Naturals Tinctures

The brand offers oil tinctures with 750- 3000 mg CBD concentrations. They come in full-spectrum formulations for full entourage effects or isolate-based forms, offering one cannabinoid. Moreover, both formulations feature high-potency and standard versions, posing 50 and 20 m/ml potencies, respectively. With a $0.03 per mg CBD price point, the tinctures are cheaper than other brands’ tinctures.

Lazarus Naturals CBD Capsules

These capsules feature various potencies, from 25 to 200 mg CBD per unit, and are packed at 10-, 40-, and 200-count jars. The capsules are isolated-based or full-spectrum CBD formulations and cost $15- $360, posing a $0.01- $0.04, which is still below or within the market averages. The capsules are strictly taken orally.

Lazarus Naturals CBD Topicals

Lazarus Naturals’ CBD topical products cost $15- $70 and bear a $0.01- $0.02 per mg CBD average price point. They include full-spectrum CBD massage oil, balm, gel, and coconut oil. The total CBD concentration of the topical products ranges between 200 and 1200 mg, taking onboard all novice and veteran CBD enthusiasts with different concentration needs.

Lazarus Naturals CBD Pet Products

If you have a furry friend, you might want to buy him pet tinctures from Lazarus Naturals. The company sells them for $15- $38, and they deliver 15 mg per serving. According to the website, the tinctures are administered by weight, which is indicated on the product page. There are two types of tinctures; calming and sensitive pet versions.

Lazarus Naturals RSO

Rick Simpson Oil is the colloquial name for highly concentrated CBD oils that come in easily controllable sizes. They come in 600- 2400 mg concentrations and are packed in about 10 ml syringes that you could you use with the oil to mix with your edibles. The RSO products cost $20- $60, posing an average price point of $0.03 per mg CBD, and for the most part, they have the widest attention and sales in the R & D department.

Lazarus Naturals Isolates

The THC-free and terpene-infused CBD isolates are for those desiring a feel of THC without another cannabinoid. They are sold at 1000 mg concentrations with bulk sizes carrying up to 1 or 2 kg of the isolates, which are water-insoluble but blend well with oil carriers.

Lazarus Naturals CBD Coconut Oil

The brand’s CBD coconut oils are ideal for those who want to cook with CBD-infused cooking oil. They cost $15- $50, and deliver 50 mg full-spectrum CBD per tablespoon.

What We Like About the Company

The following are cons associated with the Lazarus Naturals brand;

• Using non-GMO hemp grown sustainably and organically ensures the hemp plants and the final products do not interact with pesticides and other contaminants
• All manufacturing processes happen in a cGMP-guided lab, ensuring the highest safety and manufacturing standards
• The 90-day money-back guarantee allows dissatisfied clients to file claims and receive refunds and exchanges
• The brand deals in high-quality, organic-certified products, guaranteeing safety
• The free shipping arrangement at $50 and above helps clients to save on purchases
• Lazarus Naturals reasonably prices its products to make them affordable to people
• Through the Assistance Program, Lazarus Naturals offers 60% off to special groups, including active military personnel, military veterans, people with long-term disabilities, and those from low-income households
• The brand rigorously conducts 3^rd party tests and liaises with modern labs, particularly the Columbia Laboratories for the tests
• Lazarus Naturals uses MCT oil to formulate its products, increasing their bioavailability
• The brand has a centralized Product Lab Results hub for posting

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Lazarus Naturals is generally a good brand with almost no issues. However, it can still improve in the following areas;

• The $50 free shipping threshold is a bit high and may not be attained by everyone who might want to save on purchases
• Some clients complained about some tropical products had slippery packages and would easily slip away from the hand
• The brand does not offer broad-spectrum products for a full entourage effect without CBD
• Most industries use CO₂ extraction and may question Lazarus Naturals for using the human-grade ethanol extraction method to strip CBD oil from help surfaces

Our Verdict

Lazarus Naturals is one of the most reputable CBD brands that stands out for many reasons, including its sheer volume of products that cut across all CBD deliverables, the use of organic, non-GMO hemp for manufacturing CBD products, successfully using ethanol extraction to isolate CBD oil from hemp surfaces, rigorous efforts to conduct 3^rd contaminant purity and CBD & THC potency party tests for all products in its catalog and religiously posting the results on a centralized online hub, the Assistance Program it has to support special groups by offering them a 60% off the total sales, and much more. The brand offers RSO products, pet items, gummies, topicals, capsules, isolates, and tinctures at $9-$2800, posing an average price point of $0- $1. It has a 90-day money-back guarantee (probably the longest guarantee ever in hemp space) and a $50 free shipping threshold, which, despite being relatively high, helps many people save on purchases. The brand ticked most of the boxes and could probably improve a few areas like providing an alternative packaging for the slippery balm package, lowering its free shipping threshold, and considering using the most preferred technique, CO₂ extraction, to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces.

Half day CBD review 2022

Half Day is one of the best upcoming independently owned CBD brands. Established by Kameron Norwood and Dave DiCosola, Half Day CBD provides a natural way of addressing health issues, including pain and stress. Norwood and DiCosola saw CBD as a viable and holistic way of addressing health issues. The two established Half Day after discovering the impacts of full-spectrum CBD products in our bodies.

For the few years Half Day has been in the market, it has built a stellar reputation, thanks to the quality and consistency of its CBD products. Half Day CDB’s product catalog includes topicals, tinctures, and gummies. Each product has a different potency and form to meet the needs of everyone.

Half Day has a 30-day money-back guarantee that cuts across all its products. This policy applies to products that do not meet our needs and those damaged during delivery. What’s more, ordering products worth $ 99 and above earns customers free shipping. Similarly, those ordering CBD products below this price get a flat shipping fee. The free shipping and flat rate shipping fee policy makes Half Day’s CBD products relatively cheaper.

In general, the Half Day depends on hemp from Kentucky for its CBD products. Local farmers use organic methods to harvest hemp for quality results to CBD product enthusiasts. After harvesting, the hemp is cured then transferred to Chicago in GMP-certified facilities where manufacturing is initiated. Half Day also relies on full-spectrum hemp extracts obtained through the CO2 extraction process. This extraction method ensures the products have the desirable cannabinoid levels and are pesticide, metal, herbicide, and solvent-free.

About Half Day CBD

Half Day CBD was established in 2019 in Chicago, Illinois, by Kameron Norwood and Dave DiCosola, two entrepreneurs who believe in plant-based solutions. With our health in mind, Norwood and DiCosola encourage use of organic hemp in Half Day’s product. Since a lot happens between the farm and distribution of the final product, the two entrepreneurs are always present during cultivation, extraction, processing, bottling, packaging, testing, and distribution of CBD products. Half Day does not encourage white-labeling. The brand has also added a licensed food safety manager to their team to ensure what they ship is safe for consumption.

Half Day CBD products are full-spectrum with the right cannabinoid levels. All CBD products from Half Day harbor THC, but in lower amounts. For flavors, Half Day provides a variety, allowing us to choose what meets our desires.

Half Day CBD has a user-friendly website. This platform has vital information about CBD products, including the ingredients, dosage, and prices. Deliveries take 2-4 days, ensuring we do not wait for a long time after ordering our favorite products. After placing an order and paying using the credit cards, the statement on the card will show Snowbird Distribution Inc. This should not be alarming because Half Day CBD is a subsidiary brand. As the parent company, Snowbird Distribution Inc processes payment information when orders are made.

Like other CBD Brands, Half Day formulates its products from locally grown hemp. Half Day’s largest supply is from Kentucky, where local farmers utilize organic methods to produce hemp with healthy cannabinoid levels. Once harvested, the hemp is moved to Chicago, Illinois for processing. At the facility, manufacturing activities occur with CBD product consumers in mind. We see the brand’s determination in prioritizing quality through their full-spectrum products, joints, and hemp flowers. All these products are accessible through the company’s easy-to-navigate website. Although the website provides all you need to know about the products offered, you will find little about the company. Nevertheless, the website does not provide the third-party lab results for each product Half Day offers. Half Day CBD only provide batch reports on the website. Although QR codes on individual products are expected to be useful in this case, they also link potential buyers to generalized lab results.

Accuracy and Transparency

Half Day is one of the CDB brands with a growing reputation. As an upcoming brand, its transparency and accuracy are still low. If we lower ourselves on the brand’s accuracy, lab tests for Blissful Berry CBD Gummies, 25 mg showed that each gummy had 36.5 mg CBD, 11.5 mg more than the amount listed. This difference creates a 38.4 % variance within the 10% acceptable range. The batch report for Strawberry Bliss indicates ethanol was used to extract cannabinoids and not the CO2 extraction process. Third-party lab reports also showed that Half Day did not frequently test for contaminants, including microbials, heavy metals, and pesticides; hence lack of transparency.

Half Day CBD’S Specifications

• Hemp source-United States
• Price Range-$ 14.99-$ 149.99
• CBD extract method-CO2

• CBD strength-500 mg- 1000 mg

Manufacturing Process

Organic hemp Half Day utilizes in its manufacturing activities is grown on a ‘virgin land,’ Kentucky. This farm earned this name because it has never been exposed to chemicals. For this reason, we only get healthy CBD products from this brand. After harvesting, the hemp is taken to the GMP-certified facilities for manufacturing activities. The processed hemp harbors less than 0.3 % THC. Half Day also provides isolates for people who may not want traces of THC in their CBD products. Despite following USDA-certified organic cultivation practices, harvesting of hemp is timely for high-quality products. Half Day also inspects the hemp before extraction to remove traces of mold. At the manufacturing facilities, Half Day utilizes CO2 extraction method to get the first-grade cannabinoids from the hemp fibers. CO2 extraction does no compromises the quality of cannabinoids, ensuring we get the best therapeutic effects. In most cases, the extract obtained from this process does not require filtering because it is solvent-free. Although Half Day claims it uses C02 to extract cannabinoids, third-party results show the brand utilizes ethanol to extract cannabinoids for some CBD products.

Half Day’s Product Range

Half Day’s products range from tinctures and gummies to topicals and CBD flower. The company offers free shipping on purchases above $ 99. Its CBD bundle comprising a combo gummy, two pre-rolls, and 1000mg tincture is also something people on budget should grab. This bundle cost $ 59.99 after a 43 % discount which equals $ 45. Let us now look at full list of products the Half Day CBD offers.

Reviewed Products

Half Day is one of the CBD brands dedicated to offering quality products. Everything from the ingredient list, prices, potency, and dosage is amazing. This made us grab some of the brand’s products for review.

Half Day Blissful Berry 25 mg Gummies

Our Half Day Blissful Berry 25 mg Gummies were delivered in a plastic container tightly sealed with a screw cap lid to preserve the freshness. The gummies are super delicious with a refreshing strawberry and raspberry sweet smell. These edibles are coated with sugar crystals to keep your taste buds going as you enjoy the therapeutic relief. Through their website, Half Day claims Blissful Berry 25 mg Gummies are formulated using the C02 extracted CBD isolate that harbor less than 0.3% THC amount. Third-party lab reports reveal each gummy has 34. 6 mg of CBD, higher than the 25 mg Half Day lists on their website. This amounts to a higher variance within the 10 % allowable range. After a perfect experience with this CBD product, we realized taking the gummies at an interval of 12 hours enhanced better therapeutic effects.

Half Day CBD Gummies Cold Brew 25 mg Gummies

Gold Brew Gummies smell and taste like coffee. For this reason, if you are a coffee lover, these edibles are a must-have in your wellness kit. Like the Blissful Berry gummies, the Cold Brew is formulated using the C02 extracted CBD isolate with a non-detectable THC amount. Cold Brew Gummies gave us a good impression. We also established that much stress and pain is alleviated with the right dosage, taking a gummy after 12 hours. Unfortunately, we did not find the lab results from the third-party testers. This is because Half Day did not conduct frequent tests to determine traces of solvents, heavy metals, and pesticides.

Half Day 350mg Full Spectrum Salve

We also ordered and reviewed the Half Day 350 mg Full Spectrum. This product is formulated using the C02-extracted full spectrum hemp extract. Its refreshing menthol aroma leaves you smelling nice for a better part of the day. Unlike other skincare products, Half Day Full Spectrum Salve is easily absorbed. This means that do not expect oily residues on your skin after applying the salve. Other rich ingredients used to formulate this CBD skin care product include shea butter, lavender oil, Arnica, beeswax, and peppermint oil. Half Day claims the full spectrum harbors a non-detectable THC amount. For some of us who hate the earthy taste of THC, there is a reason to smile because Half Day offers isolates. Third-party lab reports show the salve contains 263.82 mg of CBD, working out to a 24.6 variance within the 10 % allowable range. After using the salve, we realized it is effective when directly applied to the affected part area.

Buying Experience

Half Day CBD runs an easy-to-navigate website with an FAQ section that provides comprehensive information about various products. Although the website does not allow direct chat, visitors can reach the brand through Facebook or email. The page also provides the customer care number, allowing website visitors to reach the company for assistance easily. After processing orders, Half Day sets the products in plain cardboard for discrete delivery. We found this impressive and a great way to meet the needs of people who value privacy. Half Day has a 30-day money-back guarantee that allows a return of the products that do not satisfy their needs. All products are available on the brand’s website. For this reason, visitors can choose and order what they want. Buyers who add to cart products over $ 99 are awarded free shipping. Those who make purchases below this amount are charged a $ 5.99 flat rate shipping fee, which is also a fair deal. Half Day also allows monthly subscriptions to their various products. We found this a great way to save money for people on budget.

What We Like About the Brand

• Half Day offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for consumers who are not satisfied with the products.
• Offer organic and non-GMO products.
• Half Day’s CBD products have natural healing powers

What we Don’t Like About the Company

• Are not committed to customer service and listening to customer needs.
• Does not provide batch information on all their CBD products
• Their website does not allow chatting.

Our Final Verdict

Although Half Day needs to work on transparency and accuracy, we loved what they offer, and for a good reason. The brand focuses on non-GMO ingredients for its full spectrum products and isolates. We also liked the 0.3 % THC amount in all Half Day products. Half Day utilizes the locally grown hemp from Kentucky. They also claim to use the C02 extraction method to obtain cannabinoids from hemp. Having used Half Day’s products, we can confidently say that they are healthy for all CBD product enthusiasts.
