Receptra Naturals Review

Welcome to our Receptra Naturals review!

After the customary round of product testing, communication with the Receptra team, site usability testing and more, the CBD insider editorial team has arrived at a final score for Receptra Naturals.

We gave Receptra Naturals a score of 92.7/100, which earns them entry into our highest tier of brands.

Specifically, we use a 27-point system to ensure that each CBD brand is given ample opportunity to prove themselves across all the major dimensions that affect product quality, consumer experience, and overall brand value.

Here are our major categories, each of which are weighted based on their impact on the total user experience:

  • Quality
  • Transparency
  • Website Experience
  • Customer Service
  • Value
  • Brand Value

To learn more about how we rate brands, we invite you to check out this simple guide.

Before we get into Receptra’s early start in the CBD industry, a quick look at some of our favorite products.

Serious Relief Tincture, 33mg

Serious Relief Tincture, 33mg

Not content to stick to the basic three-ingredient list, this tincture incorporates turmeric, grapeseed oil, and more plant-based enhancements.

Our testers noticed significant reductions in post-exercise soreness at two doses a day.

Plus, it’s more than affordable for the quality.

Pet CBD Chews

Pet CBD Chews

Our canine testers took to these peanut butter and bacon-flavored CBD chews almost immediately.

The ingredients list touts a range of gentle, natural ingredients like organic flaxseed, pea protein, and natural flavoring.

After one day of use, we noticed less barking, scratching, and chewing among our testers.

Serious Relief Targeted Topical Stick

Serious Relief Targeted Topical Stick

Easy on the menthol and loaded with natural extracts and vitamins, this topical is well-equipped for skin health.

It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly.

Shortly after applying, we noticed less discomfort in the targeted tissues.

How Receptra Got Started

Founded in 2015 in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Receptra was well-positioned to steer the CBD industry towards legitimacy, an opportunity they capitalized on with high-quality products and ethical standards.

All the while, the brand has been heavily committed to educating consumers on the truth about hemp products, providing one of the most robust education portals we’ve seen from a brand.

The Receptra team is so hands-on, they themselves help to plant and shuck the crop.

They apply this same grassroots approach to their surrounding communities, partnering with professional athletes and participating in various philanthropic initiatives to support the hemp industry and improve general quality of life for said communities at the same time. 

What Makes Receptra Unique?

Three distinct pillars differentiate Receptra Naturals from competitors.

Product Efficacy: This brand derives their hemp extracts solely from the hemp flower, as opposed to also using “aerial parts” (stalk, stems, etc.) like most other brands.

This is important because the flower is the most cannabinoid- and terpene-dense part of the hemp plant, and while it’s more expensive to do it this way, Receptra drew this line very early in their course.

Also, Receptra leans on botanicals like valerian root to provide a broader range of effects while synergizing with the cannabinoids for greater potency.

Our team is consistently impressed with the effectiveness of Receptra’s CBD products to the point where we awarded the brand’s CBD oil and CBD topical “best of 2020” titles. 

Transparency: Receptra provides an interactive COA (certificate of analysis) that teaches consumers how to read and understand them, a testament to the company’s goal to educate consumers.

Every product also comes with a QR code that will directly access the product’s corresponding COA when they scan the QR code with their phone. 

Philanthropy: Receptra has partnered with several athletes, including more than 30 MMA fighters, winter sports athletes, professional skateboarders, current and retired NFL players, and hockey players from the NHL down to the high school level.

The company has also launched a giving program called Receptra Gives, which sent proceeds from Receptra’s CBD pet sales to help displaced animals that were affected by the California wildfires in November 2018 among other efforts.

In addition, Receptra works with Mission K9 Rescue to help fund the relocation of working military and police dogs to put them in good homes.

Finally, Receptra has teamed up with Trees for the Future, a nonprofit organization working to end hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. This partnership used proceeds from Receptra’s sales to help plant trees and educate farmers on sustainable farming techniques.

These philanthropic efforts are part of the reason Receptra Naturals was ranked as one of Forbes’ Top 25 CBD Companies of 2019.

Our Receptra Review

Each of the following criteria were measured using a mixture of our personal experiences with Receptra products, the website, support services, and our correspondence with the team.

We’ll begin where we always do: the ever-important matter of quality.

Quality

Max Score = 35 points.
Receptra = 34.875 points.

Ingredients are just the beginning when it comes to product quality in the CBD space, which is really an amalgamation of formulation quality and variety, packaging and labeling, testing protocols, and much more.

In other words, we’re aiming for the whole process behind end product quality, as each step therein can affect said quality.

Product Quality

The packaging containing our Receptra CBD gummies, topical sticks, dog chews, and tinctures was durable and easy to use, including the boxes, dropper lids, and container lids.

The labeling contained basic product info (concentration, ingredients and supplement facts, certifications, use instructions), the occasional blurb explaining the product, and a QR code for convenient access to third-party testing results.

As for additional ingredients, Receptra’s products contain everything we want to see (high-quality hemp extracts, botanicals, and carrier oils) and nothing we don’t (added sugar, fillers, preservatives). 

The hemp is grown and cultivated organically, and all extracts are derived from the flower, which earns top marks for hemp quality and sourcing. 

We typically award full points in the formulation variety department for brands that offer some permutation of a “relax,” “relief,” and “active” product, a standard we modeled after Receptra’s catalog.

Finally, Receptra offers both broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD extract types, which covers both the THC-friendly and THC-averse crowds looking to benefit from the entourage effect.

Testing and Certification

Every product batch is tested by Pacific Botanical Laboratories, who provides an in-depth certificate of analysis featuring the tested product’s cannabinoid density, residual solvent, heavy metal, mycotoxin, microbe, and pesticide content. 

The brand is GMP (good manufacturing practices) certified, a strong regulatory standard that ensures Receptra maintains safe and ethical practices.

Receptra also is LegitScript certified, which means their products are made from legally cultivated hemp products that are in compliance with federal and state regulatory standards.

Extraction Method

Along with CO2, ethanol extraction is considered the gold standard of the CBD industry for its safety and efficiency.

We’re referring to the method by which Receptra removes cannabinoids from the hemp plant to create their extracts, a process that drastically influences the quality, purity, and safety profile of the end product.

Standard ethanol extraction is an easy 100/100 here. 

Transparency

Max Score = 12.5 points.
Receptra = 12.125 points.

We’ve positioned this subset of our review criteria to deduct points the moment a customer feels the slightest suspicion that a brand is strategically withholding information.

Transparency is trust, and though we don’t expect CBD brands to share every mundane detail of their logistics, customers at least need to know where the hemp is from, where it goes from there, who leads the brand, and a few other points outlined below. 

Info Accessibility

Between the outer boxes, the inner containers, and each product page on the website, it’s pretty hard to miss the QR codes/links that take customers to lab reports.

We also want to commend Receptra for doing what only one other CBD brand we’ve reviewed has done—sending customers directly to batch-specific lab reports after scanning the code (skipping the middle step where you have to enter the batch number).

Product information is equally accessible, as every product page contains plenty of supportive information that delves beyond product specs. 

The “about” page provided some important information about Receptra’s history, founder Rusty Scott, and the company’s supply chain, but we made a small deduction because no other leaders were mentioned or pictured.

Supply Chain Transparency

It was refreshing to be able to grasp the gist of the entire supply chain from just 1-2 places on the Receptra website, where we usually have to dig more.

As mentioned, the hemp is grown organically in Colorado, after which it is cultivated by Receptra prior to extraction.

Both for their transparency in this matter and for the supply chain itself, we award full points here. 

Website Experience

Max Score = 7.5 points.
Receptra = 7.5 points.

Simply put, as we don our secret shopper personas, we simply want to browse products, learn about CBD (both general info and product information), and check out without feeling any major speed bumps in the process.

We award brands that make this process as seamless as possible on their site, and provide a wealth of information while keeping the clutter and distraction to a minimum.

Product Navigation and Purchasing

It helps in this regard that Receptra doesn’t have a massive product catalog; it was very easy to quickly browse through all products and/or apply filters to get where we wanted even faster.

The overall ecommerce functionality of the site is smooth, allowing us to view product specs, add to cart, and check out without scrolling for too long or dealing with multiple splash pages.

If you’re a repeat buyer, you can even add to cart from the category page without clicking through to the product page if you like, which ups the convenience factor.

The site also performed perfectly on mobile devices, so it’s top marks for product navigation and purchasing.

Site Content

As mentioned, the Receptra site has a solid “learn” section, with a number of foundational pieces centering on basics (what CBD is, how it works with the body, etc.) as well as a blog called “The Daily Dose” that is continuously updated with actionable content. 

Moreover, all of this information is neatly tucked away in a single section; learners and/or consumers don’t have to bounce around between product pages, the “about” page, and so forth to get a complete understanding of CBD.

A five-minute audit was all it took to check all the major boxes in terms of foundational topics (and some more advanced topics), so it’s definitely full points for this factor. 

Customer Service

Max Score = 10 points
Receptra = 9.75 points.

We approach each CBD brand’s customer service as an opportunity for them to not just help customers with issues, but to also educate them while promoting their values as a brand.

As such, we grade brands based on the availability and number of support services available (including shipping and return policies), but also the degree to which those services helped us with our fake problems/questions.

Contact Options and Responsiveness

Receptra has the big three—live chat, email, and phone support—which is an easy A as far as availability is concerned.

Diving deeper into responsiveness and accommodation, we were able to quickly get responses from each service, but the phone service went to voicemail. 

Since the voicemail recording itself was actually pretty helpful, and since we received a call back in a matter of minutes, we only made a small deduction here (5/100) points. 

Shipping and Return Policies

Here’s another case in which Receptra rides the golden standard(s) to a tee, offering a 30-day full refund policy and free shipping with a reasonable window (five business days).

We’ve seen very few brands top these three points, so it’s full points for flexible and accommodating shipping and return policies. 

Value

Max Score = 10 points.
Receptra = 7.47 points.

Assigning points for each CBD brand’s prices based on our analysis of the market was the more straightforward part, but it didn’t address the question, “What are you getting quality-wise for that price?”

In other words, we had to counterbalance this objective measure with a subjective one, which is the ingredient quality relative to price.

Pricing and Ingredient Quality

A month’s worth of a standard CBD oil tincture (1500mg) costs just over $100 at Receptra, which translates to roughly $0.07 per milligram of CBD. 

This is by no means an unfair price point when other brands are taken into account, but some top-tier competitors have made a stand at $0.04/mg, so Receptra earned 28.75/100 points on the raw price end. 

Considering the clean ingredient lists, cannabinoid-dense extracts, non-cannabinoid botanical enhancements, and high testing and extraction standards, we awarded the maximum possible points for ingredient quality relative to price (90/100), which helped the brand recoup several points in this category.

Brand Value

Max Score = 25 points.
Receptra = 21 points.

This category covers a lot of ground, but the overall intention is to capture the total effect a CBD brand has on its customers, competitors, local and global communities, and the CBD industry at large.

We’re always open to considering non-conventional indicators of brand value if they produce positive change on these levels, but our general framework emphasizes these points:

  • Product innovation
  • Community and industry involvement/memberships
  • Participation/investment in medical studies
  • Legislative activism
  • Supplier oversight (vertically integrated?)
  • Institutional Knowledge
  • Philanthropy

Here’s how Receptra performed across these points. 

Product Innovation

More than just developing botanically enhanced CBD products before many of their competitors were, Receptra is also innovative in how they educate customers about creative approaches to CBD.

Specifically, the “CBD recipes” blog category on their site shows customers how to seamlessly slip some CBD into about two dozen recipes, from “sleep tea” to apple cider bundt cakes.

As mentioned, they were integral to the development and popularization of sleep, relax, and active formulation, and even after others made it to the party, Receptra still does it better. 

Community, Research, and Legislative Investment

In our correspondence with the Receptra team, we learned that they regularly attend industry events and have contributed to the hemp policymaking process with the aim of raising standards and removing bad actors who were cutting corners on safety and other key issues.

Considering they send their own people to handpick the hemp and extract from the flower, it’s more than fair to say that they maintain superior supplier oversight.

The brand’s institutional knowledge is evident throughout their product offering and their educational portal.

Receptra has participated in several philanthropic efforts, including partnering with Trees for the Future in 2019 to donate one tree for every sale, as well as other partnerships with Boarding for Breast Cancer and Mission K9.

Our Receptra Naturals Review Overall Rating

All tallied, Receptra earned an overall rating of 92.72 out of 100 points.

Here are some takeaways to sum up our review:

  • High-quality, botanically enhanced products
  • Superior testing standards and industry certifications
  • Excellent supplier oversight 
  • Ample consumer-friendly educational resources
  • Moderate pricing

After accounting for the usual ding in the value category (most brands lose at least 3-4 points there), we can’t single out a single area in which Receptra took a large deduction.

As such, we highly recommend Receptra to anyone looking to benefit from CBD, not just because their products are dependable, but because they invest in educating their customer base. 

Receptra Product Reviews

We sampled several topical products, CBD oil tinctures, and gummies from Receptra.

Here we will highlight our experiences with several of these products, factoring in concentration, value, taste, and more.

Receptra CBD Oil Review

Concentration

We sampled Receptra’s Serious Relief tincture, featuring a full-spectrum hemp extract with turmeric at a concentration of 33mg of CBD per milliliter (990mg total).

This is slightly above our cutoff for effective CBD tincture concentrations, providing a solid dose at just one dropper.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown according to the certificate of analysis for our sampled product, expressed in milligrams per milliliter of oil:

CBC: 1.62mg/mL
CBD: 32.5mg/mL
CBG: 1.34mg/mL
Delta-9 THC: 2.73mg/mL

The supporting cannabinoid concentration is well above 10% of the CBD density when you factor in THC, which is excellent.

The CBD is slightly under-delivered, but not to the extent that we would dock credit.

The addition of turmeric, a potent anti-inflammatory that speaks to the “relief” aspect, plays off the entourage effect for even greater benefits.

Value

This tincture retails for $84.99, which reduces to approximately $0.086/mg.

As expected, this enhanced formulation runs a little bit more expensive than the “standard” oil we used in the review portion to assess Receptra’s pricing, but staying under a dime a milligram for anything this powerful is still reasonable.

Considering some of the competition, there’s room to drop this a penny or two per milligram, but it’s certainly not an unfair price point by any means.

Packaging

The packaging was consistent with the other products we reviews; the outer box and inner container featured QR codes for lab reports, basic product info (ingredients and supplement facts), seals and certifications, and usage directions.

The box, darkly tinted tincture bottle, and dropper lid were all durable and easy to use throughout our sampling period.

Overall, the only critique we can offer is the same we did above—utilizing the space with a small blurb or two for new customers would have been helpful.

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list for the Serious Relief 33mg/dose tincture we sampled, which came in Fresh Berry flavor:

Hemp flower extract, organic hemp seed oil, organic MCT oil, organic avocado oil, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic grapeseed oil, organic sunflower oil, ReceptraTM hemp extract, turmeric (curcumin), organic flavors (mint, berry).

Two things stand out starkly in this ingredient list: the sheer amount of ingredients and the fact that they are almost all organic.

Most tinctures stick to a pretty common motif of “carrier oil (MCT), hemp extract, natural flavoring,” but this product adds in polyphenol-rich olive, avocado, sunflower, and grapeseed oil among other plant-based ingredients.

Considering these are all organic, that price point is looking all the more impressive.

Taste

While we enjoyed the taste because we like the way natural hemp tastes, customers looking to the Fresh Berry flavor to mask this effectively may find that the hemp still gets through.

If anything, the berry was more evident in the aftertaste, but that first dropper-full is almost all hemp.

That said, the berry is pleasant and not too sweet, and the oil is characteristically thick and buttery.

Effectiveness

After one day of use, taking a single dose in the morning and the evening, we were very pleased with this tincture’s effectiveness.

We noticed two major benefits: calmness and post-workout recovery.

About two hours after our morning dose, we felt less susceptible to the inevitable distractions that come from working at home, and less anxious in general.

It was easier to enter and stay in a flow state, yet we didn’t feel sluggish or sedated.

The recovery aspect was most evident the morning after rigorous workouts.

The standard muscle soreness was still evident, if not slightly reduced, but the biggest difference was in nagging aches and pains from old sports injuries (stiff ankle, hip pain, etc.) that normally flare up after said workouts.

Overall, this tincture delivered on its promises and then some.

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Industry-leading formulation with clean ingredients
  • Effective at promoting calm and reducing post-workout recovery
  • Affordable for the quality

And now the cons:

  • Berry Flavoring doesn’t conceal the hemp flavor
Receptra CBD Gummies Review

Concentration

We sampled the Serious Relief and Serious Rest CBD gummies, which come in 33mg and 25mg concentrations (per gummy), respectively.

Both products come in 30-count tubs, and the Serious Rest gummies are advertised as having three milligrams of CBN added into each gummy.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown for the Serious Relief gummies on a per-gummy basis:

  • CBC: 1.12mg
  • CBD: 32.52mg
  • CBG: 1mg
  • CBN: 1.96mg
  • Delta-9 THC: 1.8mg

And for the Serious Rest gummies, which were reported on a milligram-per-gram basis:

  • CBC: 0.28mg/g
  • CBD: 7.26mg/g
  • CBG: 0.25mg/g
  • CBN: 0.99mg/g
  • Delta-9 THC: 0.45mg/g

Both of these reports indicate a sizable concentration of supporting cannabinoids that exceeds 10% of the CBD density, which is excellent.

The Serious Relief gummies under-deliver slightly on the CBD, but not to a therapeutically relevant degree.

Other than that, this is exactly what we want to see on CBD gummy lab reports.

Value

The Serious Relief gummies, which provide 990mg of CBD in total, retail for $59.99, which reduces to $0.06/mg.

The Serious Rest gummies, yielding 750mg of CBD and 90mg of CBN, retail for $54.99, which reduces to $0.07/mg.

Especially for gummies, which tend to surpass CBD oils in price, these are definitely competitive price points.

They aren’t lackluster formulations either; the supporting cannabinoid content clearly steers each product toward its intended use.

Packaging

Both of these products came in darkly tinted tubs with threaded lids, and the Serious Rest gummies had a childproof locking mechanism (push down and turn).

The labeling included all of the basic information we needed plus the QR code for third-party lab reports, but once again, we found ourselves gauging the available space and wanting an extra blurb to introduce the products to new customers.

Overall, the packaging was durable and easy to use, and having a QR code that takes you straight to the lab reports is excellent.

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list for the Serious Relief gummies, which came in Ginger Peach flavor: Full-spectrum hemp extract, ginger extract, turmeric extract, tapioca syrup, sugar, pectin, natural flavor (ginger, pech), alcohol, citric acid, sodium citrate.

The non-organic tapioca syrup and the 3mg of added sugar per gummy make us a little tentative on the sugar situation, but everything else looks optimal, including the turmeric extract.

Here is the ingredient list for the Serious Rest gummies, which came in Mountain Strawberry flavor: Hemp flower extract, organic cane sugar, water, tapioca syrup, pectin (pectin, sucrose, citric acid, sodium citrate), full -spectrum hemp extract, natural flavors, citric acid, lemon oil, cannabinol.

The sugar is toned down to one milligram per gummy, and for gummies, the use of artificial ingredients and preservatives is very low, so we’re happier with this ingredient list.

Taste

The Ginger Peach of the Serious Relief gummies may be our favorite flavor yet, complementing the shot of sugar with the unmistakable zing of the ginger.

Ginger is a bit divisive in its own right, but if you like it, it’s very likely you’ll enjoy these delicious gummies.

Ironically, the less sugary Serious Rest gummies in Mountain Strawberry tasted way sweeter than the former, almost to the point where we had to pause between gummies and drink some water.

It could definitely be toned down on the sweetness, but the flavor behind it was very tasty as well.

Effectiveness

As we had hoped, the Serious Relief gummies closely mirrored the effects of the above tincture, allowing for a less painful return to consecutive workouts.

When taking two gummies at a time, we noticed the effects taking hold on the same day, especially on the rare occasion that we actually stretched after exercising.

The Serious Rest gummies were a little tougher to gauge on the first few days of sampling, but after we stopped taking them, we noticed it took longer to fall asleep.

This speaks to the subtlety and “background” nature of a well-balanced CBD product.

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Strong supporting cannabinoid concentration
  • Effective for post-workout soreness
  • Excellent flavor (Ginger Peach)
  • Competitively priced

And now for the cons:

  • Super sweet (Mountain Strawberry)

Here’s a balanced listing of some of our favorite products from Receptra.

Seriously Relax + Lavender Tincture

Seriously Relax + Lavender Tincture

Formulated with natural, potent ingredients like limonene and lavender, this tincture is made to work with your body.

It’s perfect for de-compressing before bed, especially for heavy screen users.

We also like how it’s available in a half-ounce bottle for people trying the product out.

Serious Wellness CBD Tincture

Serious Wellness CBD Tincture

Packing in 50mg of CBD per dose, Receptra’s original full-spectrum hemp extract brings value and effectiveness.

This tincture is perfect for people who benefit the most from hemp.

The simplistic formulation uses only MCT carrier oil and hemp.

Serious Relief Gummies

Serious Relief Gummies

Our testers loved the ginger peach flavor of these CBD gummies.

More importantly, we noticed marked improvements in post-exercise soreness.

We attribute this success not only to a high-quality hemp extract, but the use of turmeric and ginger.

All Products Sold by Receptra Naturals

Receptra has a relatively small offering of products that includes tinctures, topicals, pet chews, capsules, gummies, and pet products.

The brand has decided to stick with just a few categories to enhance the company’s ability to provide the most efficacious products possible.

What seems to make Receptra’s products work particularly well is their use of the hemp flower instead of hemp stalks and seeds, which leads to more highly concentrated products.

What’s impressive is that despite the high concentrations, Receptra has some of the most affordable products in the CBD market, and that’s by design.

Receptra Naturals CBD Oils

Receptra offers multiple variations of its CBD oil, including:

  • Serious Rest + Chamomile Tincture
  • Serious Relief + Turmeric Tincture
  • Serious Relief + Turmeric 0% THC Tincture
  • Seriously Relax + Lavender Tincture
  • Serious Wellness CBD

Best Use: These extracts are meant to enhance your general health and protect your well-being, likely making these extracts best used to decrease anxiety, elevate your mood, and help you sleep better.

Receptra Naturals Topicals

Receptra has a relatively small lineup of CBD topicals, but the products they do have are the best on the market.

In fact, the Receptra Naturals Targeted Topical was considered the best CBD topical of 2020 by our team.

Here’s a list of Receptra Natural’s CBD topicals:

  • Seriously Relax + Arnica Body Oil
  • Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical Stick
  • Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical
  • Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical 0% THC
  • Serious Relief + Arnica Targeted Topical (Fitness/Yoga/Ski)

Best Use: The topical products are best for soothing aches and discomfort as well as caring for your skin.

Receptra Naturals CBD Capsules

Currently, Receptra offers two sets of CBD capsules: Serious Rest and Seriously Relax.

Best Use: CBD capsules offer the same benefits as CBD oil but contain preset amounts of CBD. They are ideal for quick consumption and during travel. They tend to be slightly less effective than CBD oil.

Receptra Naturals Gummies

Receptra offers two kinds of gummies: Serious Relief (33mg/gummy) in Ginger Peach and Serious Rest (25mg/gummy) in Fresh Berry.

Like many of their tinctures, these full-spectrum CBD gummies contain supporting botanicals that build on hemp’s effects.

Best Use: CBD gummies are ideal for newcomers to CBD who don’t prefer the hemp taste, or simply anyone who prefers an edible format that allows for consistent dosing.

Receptra Naturals CBD Pet Products

Receptra offers a pet tincture in two strengths: 16mg/serving and 25mg/serving, as well as CBD dog treats at 5mg/ea.

Best Use: This is best for calming uptight animals, relieving aches and discomfort, and improving a pet’s overall well-being by balancing its endocannabinoid system.

Charlottes Web Review

Welcome to our Charlotte’s Web Review!

As one of the most experienced and prolific CBD brands to shape the industry, Charlotte’s Web requires little introduction to CBD newbies and veterans alike.

Still, like everyone else, we’ve been tracking their evolution throughout the CBD boom, meaning they get plugged into our comprehensive ranking system.

According to that system, we gave Charlotte’s Web a score of 86.8/100.

The major categories we assign points for in this comprehensive, 27-point brand review include the following:

  • Quality

  • Website Experience
  • Customer Service

  • Brand Value

For anyone who has yet to familiarize themselves with the brand, we’ll start with a bit of background.

Recommended Product

Charlotte’s Web CBD Oil (60mg)

As their most concentrated, full-spectrum CBD oil, this product is both valuable and easy to use.

The high presence of non-CBD cannabinoids gives the entourage effect a better chance to take hold, a difference that our testers noticed.

We also like that it comes in mint chocolate, lemon twist, and orange blossom flavors, offering something for everybody.

Next, we can’t ignore the rapid rise of CBD gummies, and thanks to these tasty and effective Calm Gummies, we don’t want to.

Recommended Product

Charlotte’s Web Calm Gummies

Boosted by lemon balm and another highly balanced cannabinoid extract, these gummies are no gimmick.

At doses of three or more gummies, are testers noticed a balanced, focused sense of calm that persisted for hours.

The lemon lime flavor is among the sweetest, yet most natural-tasting we’ve sampled.

Next, our favorite balm from Charlotte’s Web brings a potent extract at a solid value.

How Charlotte’s Web Got Started

Based in Boulder, Colorado, Charlotte’s Web was founded by the Stanley Brothers—a group of seven brothers raised by a single mother—in 2011.

The brand (and the CBD movement that ensued) centered around young Charlotte Figi, who greatly benefited from Charlotte’s Web’s CBD products as she battled a form of childhood epilepsy.

Charlotte’s inspiring story, the tenacity of the Stanley Brothers and a feature on Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s documentary entitled Weed helped Charlotte’s Web gain recognition early on.

From that point on, Charlotte’s Web was regarded as one of the forefathers of the CBD movement and a brand that everyone could trust.

Speaking to that image, the company grows much of their hemp themselves on Colorado farms (with supporting family farms in Kentucky and Oregon).

What Makes Charlotte’s Web Unique?

Aside from becoming the first major CBD brand, Charlotte’s Web differentiates themselves with philanthropy, clinical research, and high-quality processes.

Philanthropy: From mentoring black-owned CBD and hemp startups to campaigning for hemp accessibility for communities and families that rely (or could rely) on hemp products, Charlotte’s Web has been focused on supporting the industry and giving back to communities since the beginning.

They’ve also achieved B Corp Certification, a designation awarded to brands who adhere to a set of social and environmental responsibility standards.

Research Participation: Charlotte’s Web has been actively involved in multiple studies involving their own products to assess the effectiveness of CBD and other cannabinoids.

They’ve also been called on by the FDA to participate in studies assessing CBD’s effects on the liver, which will ideally provide key insights the agency needs for creating a regulatory pathway.

Our Charlotte’s Web Review

We tested several Charlotte’s Web products, made our usual rounds of the brand’s website, and spoke with our contacts in the company to complete this review.

Speaking of, each of the six categories mentioned above our weighted based on their impact on product quality and safety, user experience, the CBD industry as a whole, and more, totaling 100 points.

If you’d like to learn more about how each category and the criteria within it are scored, we’ve created a simple, detailed guide

As always, we’ll start off with the key issue of quality.

Quality

Max score = 35 points.
Charlotte’s Web = 34.25 points.

Two companies can arrive at the same ingredient list in very different ways, and moreover, ingredient quality isn’t the only factor that can affect user experience.

For these reasons, we also assess how and where the products are sourced and manufactured, tested, packaged, and more.

Product Quality

The packaging and labeling on this shipment of products and all others we’ve sampled was durable, informative, and easy to use.

Between the outer boxes and the inner containers, everything we wanted to see was there: supplement and ingredient facts, general product info, QR codes for quick access to lab reports, and so on. 

Charlotte’s web offers full-spectrum and broad-spectrum extracts, and they offer some permutation of each of the three formulation types we look for (relax, relief, and active), though not in CBD oil form.

They use clean ingredients, many of which are organic, and no harmful preservatives.

Testing and Certification 

Charlotte’s Web’s products are tested by a reputable, ISO-accredited third-party lab called Eurofins.

Also earning an easy A in the subcategory of industry certifications is Charlotte’s Web’s US Hemp Authority and USDA Organic certifications.

Extraction Method

Charlotte’s Web uses CO2 and ethanol to extract CBD and other hemp-borne compounds (terpenes and other cannabinoids) from plant biomass.

As these two methods are regarded as the safest and most effective, it’s full marks for hemp extraction quality as well.

Transparency

Max score = 12.5 points.
Charlotte’s Web = 8.375 points.

We designed this category to award brands for clearly providing key points about their products, processes, lab results, and supply chain structure, all of which signal authority and trustworthiness.

If a customer has to dig for more than a minute to find this information, we consider it a speed bump in the total user experience and dock points.

Info Accessibility

Both in terms of the products themselves and the team behind them, Charlotte’s Web is very transparent with their audience, sharing everything you would want to know about who they are, what they do, and what’s in their products.

However, they are the only top-tier brand we’ve reviewed to not directly present third-party lab results (i.e., on Eurofins letterhead) to their customers, instead having their quality assurance department create separate reports claiming to contain the same results.

Since there is no signature from Eurofins analysts on any of the Charlotte’s Web reports, there’s no way to authenticate the information, which is why we applied a hefty deduction here.

Supply Chain Transparency

Finally, we don’t expect a thesis on all the finer points of the supply chain, but we at least want to see a neatly packaged, customer-facing breakdown of where the CBD comes from, where it is formulated and tested, and any other steps in the supply chain. 

While Charlotte Web was forthcoming with this information, we made a small deduction (15 out of 100 points for this factor) because the information was a bit harder to find on the website.

Website Experience

Max score = 7.5 points.
Charlotte’s Web = 7.5 points.

As an online publication, we know all too well the pitfalls of bad website development, whether you’re moving hundreds of products a day and/or simply presenting information to an audience.

Beautiful design is good for a few points, but we’re more pragmatically minded in this case, prioritizing product navigation and purchasing functionality as well as the quality/quantity of educational content.

Product Navigation and Purchasing

Before officially entering the e-commerce section of the site, you can hover over the shop link to reveal a drop-down menu that allows you to shop by product type (CBD oil, CBD gummies, etc.) as well as a few introductory blog posts to inform a smarter purchase. 

Once you’ve landed on one of their attractively designed and minimalistic category pages, you still have access to category, price, and health benefit filters.

Clicking through on product images takes you to a similarly designed product page, offering all the information you need and easy fields for selecting quantities/concentrations etc.

Browsing on mobile was just as seamless, with no noticeable bugs.

Site Content

Between their thorough, yet concise breakdown of all the important questions (what is CBD, how does it work, etc.) on their CBD 101 page as well as their many well-written blog posts, Charlotte’s Web definitely checks the box for consumer education.

Moreover, customers don’t have to bounce around to seven different blog posts to learn what CBD is, how it works, the difference between hemp oil and extract, and so on—it’s all on the CBD 101 page.

Customer Service

Max score = 10 points.
Charlotte’s Web = 6.1 points.

How a CBD brand or any other responds to customer questions, comments, and concerns is highly indicative of their true intentions.

It’s easy to sing your own praises through a few lines of web copy because web copy works for free.

Rather, what we’re looking for are the three major support channels (messenger, phone, and email) with helpful and responsive human beings on the other end.

Contact Options and Responsiveness

Charlotte’s Web offers email, phone, and messenger support channels, but the messenger isn’t live.

Because they technically had all three services, and because the non-live chat was still loaded with helpful information, we just took ten points off out of 100 for this factor.

However, responsiveness was a different matter altogether.

The quoted response time for queries sent through the messenger (when looking for a human response) was 72 hours, and we held on the phone for half an hour before hanging up, both of which are definitely too long for customers who have several brands to choose from.

As a result, Charlotte’s Web lost 3.5 percentage points off their overall score.

Shipping and Return Policies

Charlotte’s Web maintains a 30-day customer satisfaction guarantee on all their products, which we consider to be the gold standard, so they received full points for return policy.

Products ship in 7 business days and for a flat $9 shipping, which isn’t unreasonable on either front.

However, since we’ve seen other top-tier brands beat both of those numbers, we just shaved 5/100 points off for this factor. 

Overall, these are the fair, flexible and accommodating shipping and return policies you would expect from a brand that is confident in their products.

Value

Max score = 10 points.
Charlotte’s Web = 6.81 points.

How much do the products cost?

How does the ingredient quality compare to this cost?

That’s it.

Pricing and Ingredient Quality

A month’s supply (1500mg) of Charlotte’s Web’s standard CBD oil tincture costs exactly $100 after we reduce the closest concentration (1800mg) to this quantity, which equates to slightly less than $0.07/mg.

According to our scale, which we developed with the help of thousands of respondents in our US CBD Consumer Report as well as an in-depth analysis of market prices, this earns 32.5/100 points for raw price.

This doesn’t mean $0.07/mg is far too expensive—especially for a brand like Charlotte’s Web—it just means all CBD is too expensive with the exception of the very top quartile of this range.

Also, Charlotte’s Web was able to make up a solid block of points in the “ingredient quality relative to price” factor, earning 80/100 for their clean, organic ingredient lists.

Brand Value

Max score = 25 points.

Charlotte’s Web = 23.75 points.

This category seeks to answer a fairly open-ended question: How is this brand changing the CBD industry, its local community, and the world?

As you could imagine, there are many efforts that could fit here.

To be as broad as possible, we award points for any significant action a brand takes towards medical study participation, hemp industry legislation, community and industry events, industry memberships, general philanthropy, and more.

We also consider institutional knowledge and product innovations to be integral to brand value, since these can influence others in the space to up their standards.

Product Innovation

Charlotte’s Web has every popular CBD product type, many of which were developed very early on in the CBD boom, which earns them a solid chunk of points for product innovation.

After acquiring Abacus Health Products, maker of the CBDMedic line of topical products for arthritis pain, Charlotte’s Web was able to offer more targeted benefits for their consumers as well.

Community, Research, and Legislative Involvement

Charlotte’s Web has been involved in multiple studies, many involving their own products, and at least one in direct response to FDA requests for information.

Their work with the US Hemp Authority has helped shape CBD legislation, and they’re continuing to work towards clearer standards.

Considering the Charlotte’s Web team literally works hands-on with the hemp itself, they also earn full points for supply chain oversight.

Their work with Realm of Caring, and the very impetus of the company itself (in support of Charlotte Figi) speak to an ongoing commitment to philanthropy.

In other words, full points for community, research, and legislative involvement.

Our Charlotte’s Web Overall Rating

All totaled, Charlotte’s Web earned an overall rating of 86.81/100.

Here are some highlights to sum up our review:

  • Clean formulations using organic ingredients
  • Moderate pricing, high value for the quality
  • Excellent customer education and e-commerce experience
  • High authority and trust throughout the CBD industry
  • High participation in medical studies, hemp legislation, and philanthropy
  • Issues in COA transparency and customer service

They checked some very important boxes (safety, quality, and brand value), but were dinged for technical issues that could be easily improved on for major score improvements (into the 90s, most likely). 

Overall, Charlotte’s Web is a top-tier brand that we recommend to anyone looking for CBD products.

Charlotte’s Web Product Reviews

Charlotte’s Web CBD Gummies: Calm
photo

learn more about charlotte's web cbd gummies

Concentration 

The gummies we sampled came in a 30-count jar of 5mg gummies, yielding 150 total milligrams of “plant-based cannabinoids,” per the label.

Charlotte’s Web also offers 60-count and 90-count sizes at the same concentration, yielding 300mg and 450mg of cannabinoids, respectively.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown per the COA for the 300mg tub we sampled, expressed in per-serving (two gummies) values:

  • Hemp extract concentration: 10.5mg
  • Delta-9 THC: 0.006%, 7.2mg total, 0.25/gummy
  • CBD: 6.5mg
  • CBC: 0.3mg

As expected, our product passed all tests for microbials and heavy metals.

Overall, this is a solid report, especially for people who like to emphasize non-CBD cannabinoids, since CBD makes up less than two-thirds of the overall cannabinoids.

Value

Here are the prices per size: 

  • 150mg: $29.99 ($0.20/mg) 
  • 300mg: $44.99 ($0.15/mg)
  • 450mg: $56.99 ($0.13/mg)

While most of Charlotte’s Web’s products are priced somewhere in the middle of the market, the gummies are slightly more affordable at larger concentrations.

It also helps that you don’t have to go beyond 2000mg, or even 1000mg to reach this discount. 

Packaging

These gummies come in a darkly tinted plastic tub with a threaded lid. 

On the labeling were included a blurb about the product, supplement facts and other ingredients, use suggestions, a QR code for accessing third-party lab results, and other standard info (concentration, flavor, etc.)

Everything we wanted to see was there, and the product blurb helped to prime us for the experience. 

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list for these gummies:

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), hemp extract (aerial parts), tapioca syrup, beet sugar, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), water, natural flavors, MCT oil, pectin, less than 1% of: malic acid, spirulina extract (color), sodium citrate dihydrate, organic lemon juice concentrate, citric acid, organic sunflower lecithin, tapioca starch.

There’s no getting around the use of some form of sugar and at least one or two preservatives when you’re making a gummy, but that doesn’t mean these ingredients are all the same.

Indeed, this list shows us the right way, using safe preservatives and avoiding high-fructose corn syrup. 

Taste

This is one of the better tasting gummies we’ve tried; the lime was very zesty and sweet.

It took Charlotte’s Web 1.5 grams of sugar per gummy to get there, which is right around the average (we draw the line at 2.5 or more grams).

The delicious, acidic flavor covered up and/or neutralized the hemp bitterness very effectively. 

These gummies would be a great option for sweet tooths looking to avoid the bitterness of hemp. 

Effectiveness

It required at least three gummies, but after climbing to that level, we experienced marked improvements in stress levels.

As CBD is meant to do, it wasn’t a feeling of sedation, but a subtle “leveling out” that helped us respond to stressful situations calmly.

We can’t say this gummy helped with falling asleep as much as some others have, but taking it in the morning or early afternoon made for smoother workdays. 

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Great taste
  • Clean ingredient list
  • Affordable for gummies, especially high concentrations
  • Effective at promoting calm

And now the cons:

  • Lower concentration per gummy
Charlotte’s Web 15mg CBD Oil Liquid Capsules
photo

learn more about the charlotte's web 15mg cbd oil liquid capsules

Concentration

These 15mg capsules come in 30-count (450mg total), 60-count (900mg total), or 90-count (1350mg total) containers—we sampled the smallest size.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown per the COA for our product:

  • Delta-9 THC: 0.1%, 21mg per container, 0.7mg/capsule
  • CBD: 17mg/capsule
  • CBG: 0.3mg/capsule
  • CBN: 0.1mg/capsule
  • CBC: 0.7mg/capsule

The cannabinoid content is over-delivered by nearly four milligrams, and the THC is well within the legal limit.

The supporting cannabinoid content (THC, CBG, CBN, CBC) is right around 10 percent of the reported CBD content, which is stronger than most capsules we’ve seen.

Overall, there’s a solid shot of cannabinoids with plenty of room for the entourage effect to take hold.

Value

Here are the prices for each size:

  • 450mg: $39.99 ($0.09/mg)
  • 900mg: $69.99 ($0.08/mg)
  • 1350mg: $89.99 ($0.07/mg)

As capsules go, and compared to their CBD oil, this is a little more expensive than expected.

Granted, these are liquid hemp extract capsules, which partially explains the rigidity in the pricing structure.

Still, other top-tier brands are regularly cruising right under this line. 

Packaging

Between the outer container and the darkly tinted tincture bottle, customers have access to blurbs about the Stanley Brothers and Charlotte’s Web, use suggestions, ingredient list, supplement facts, and a QR code for lab reports (box only).

This is everything we like to see, and the two blurbs really help to lay down some context and build confidence in the product as well as the brand behind it. 

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list for our product verbatim:

Hemp extract (aerial parts), organic extra virgin olive oil, vegetable capsule (hypromellose)

It doesn’t get much simpler; everything is natural and safe, so it’s top marks here to be sure. 

Taste

These transparent liquid capsules aren’t faintly sweet like some others; they bring an extremely subtle note of bitterness.

It took us roughly a minute of mulling these capsules around in our mouths to arrive at this assessment, so by all means, the everyday consumer is very unlikely to notice anything.

After consuming, we didn’t notice any unpleasant aftertaste, so we’re very pleased with the “taste” of these capsules. 

Effectiveness

When taking a minimum of two capsules in the midday or early evening, we noticed that it was easier to fall asleep, and one of our testers—a sensitive sleeper—slept through a fairly severe storm.

As usual, there was no feeling of sluggishness or sedation in the morning. 

We also noticed in some cases that we were much less susceptible to the distractions of working from home after having three capsules in the morning, making workdays easier and more productive.

Overall, these are solid results, and we attribute much of the success to the high non-CBD cannabinoid content. 

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Super clean and minimalistic ingredients
  • Effective at promoting calm and sleep

And now the cons:

  • Not as discounted as most capsule product lines
Charlotte’s Web Original Formula CBD Oil
photo

learn more about the charlotte's web original formula cbd oil

Concentration

Our Original Formula CBD Oil came in a 50mg/mL concentration, which is available on the Charlotte’s Web online store in 30mL (1500mg) or 100mL (3000mg) sizes. 

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown per the COA for our product: 

  • Hemp extract concentration: 62mg/mL
  • Delta-9 THC: 0.19%, 54.6mg total, 0.9mg per serving
  • CBD: 61mg/mL
  • CBG: 1.1mg/mL
  • CBN: 0.1mg/mL
  • CBC: 3.4mg/mL

The CBD is over-delivered by more than 20 percent, the supporting cannabinoid content is once again around ten percent of the CBD, and the THC is well within the legal limit. 

Value

Here are the prices for each size:

  • 1500mg: $119.99 ($0.08/mg)
  • 5000mg: $274.99 ($0.05/mg)

Considering this is priced almost exactly the same as the standard CBD tincture we used to grade value, our stance is the same: middle of the road, not bad for a top-tier brand. 

Packaging

Between the outer box and the tincture bottle, users can access basic product info, supplement facts, other ingredients, suggested use, CW blurb, Stanley Brothers blurb, and a QR code for lab reports. 

Once again, this provides everything we would want to see with the added benefit of some background on the brand.

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list verbatim:

Hemp extract (aerial parts), fractionated coconut oil, organic mint chocolate flavor oil (organic sunflower oil, natural flavors).

There’s no room for criticism here; this is an excellent ingredient list showing a commitment to high safety and quality standards.

Taste

Both the mint and chocolate were on the subtle side, covering up most of the bitter hemp taste.

It personally isn’t our favorite flavor, as the citrus tends to do a better job of masking the hemp while tasting great, but it wasn’t unpleasant by any means.

Hardcore Thin Mints fanboys and fangirls, on the other hand, might have a new favorite here.

Effectiveness

This time, it only took one dose for our testers to experience some noticeable benefits.

Chief among those benefits was improved stress management.

One tester in particular found that this tincture greatly improved his mood after multiple nights of sleeping less than six hours.

Taking a full dropper in the morning and half a dropper in the evening was a great rhythm, allowing clear, calm functionality during the day and an easier time falling asleep at night.  

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Great taste
  • Clean ingredient list
  • Higher concentration
  • Effective at combating stress

And now the cons:

  • Pricier (1500mg)

Charlotte’s Web THC-Free CBD Oil

Recommended Product

Charlotte’s Web THC-Free CBD Oil

This THC-free tincture still delivers a potent and balanced hemp extract to help with stress, sleep, and more.

Best of all, the completely vegan, non-GMO ingredient list is as clean as it gets.

CBDMedic Back and Neck Pain Relief Ointment

Powered by much more than cannabinoids, this hard-hitting, yet gentle ointment is a must-have for stiff and sore necks.

As always, the ingredient list is filled with natural extracts like honeysuckle oil, jojoba seed oil, and more.

Charlotte’s Web Calm Gummies

Recommended Product

Charlotte’s Web Calm Gummies

A colorful array of supporting, non-CBD cannabinoids help to make every milligram of this CBD gummy product count.

Indeed, our testers noticed a sense of calm that persisted for hours after each dose (3+ gummies)

The lemon lime flavor is among the best we’ve tried, and was very effective at covering up the hemp taste.

All Charlotte’s Web Products

Charlotte’s Web offers a medium range of product types, but delivers within each category with a large variety.

Here are their major product types:

  • CBD Oil
  • CBD Capsules
  • CBD Gummies
  • CBD Topicals
  • CBD for Dogs

The brand primarily focuses on tinctures and dog products, but the addition of CBDMedic and continued expansion of their gummy line have added more variety.

Despite other categories gaining ground, Charlotte’s Web is still known for their CBD oil tinctures above all else.

Here’s what they’re currently offering:

  • Original Formula: 50mg/mL
  • CBD Oil: 7mg/mL, 17mg/mL, and 60mg/mL
  • THC-Free CBD Oil: 25mg/mL

CBD Capsules

Charlotte’s Web offers CBD capsules in two concentrations: 15mg and 25mg.

These are liquid CBD capsules, meaning they contain standard CBD oil inside a capsule.

Best Use: CBD capsules are best for people who don’t like tinctures, or those who want a quicker, more convenient way to take CBD. They offer the same potential benefits as CBD oil.

CBD Gummies

Charlotte’s Web offers three kinds of CBD gummies:

  • Calm
  • Sleep
  • Recovery

Each of these is formulated with a botanical blend of natural ingredients like lemon balm in addition to the CBD from the full-spectrum hemp extract.

Each of the variations come in tubs of 30, 60, or 90.

Best Use: Gummies are best for those who find it more enjoyable to take CBD in an edible form, and are looking for help with calming down, sleep, or recovery.

CBD Topicals

Charlotte’s web offers the following topical products:

  • Hemp-infused cream with CBD
  • Hemp-infused balm with CBD
  • Hemp-infused balm stick with CBD
  • Hemp-infused cooling gel with CBD 
  • Lavender/Peppermint hemp-infused roll-on with CBD 

Best Use: Topicals are best for point-specific or region-specific applications, and are an easy way to introduce hemp-derived CBD into your routine without orally ingesting a product.

CBDMEDIC Topicals

Charlotte’s Web acquired the brand CBDMEDIC officially in June of 2020.

CBDMEDIC offers OTC-registered (over-the-counter products allow for health claims) topicals infused with broad-spectrum hemp extract, which contains CBD, but is THC-free.

Conclusion

As The CBD Insider editorial team, we only recommend brands that we have personally vetted, so you can feel comfortable purchasing their products.

In many areas, Charlotte’s Web continues to live up to the very high standard they and the industry have set for the brand.

However, Charlotte’s Web’s competitors in the CBD industry continue to consolidate and catch up, meaning there’s always room to improve and tighten up processes.

We confidently recommend Charlotte’s Web products to anyone looking for the many potential benefits that CBD can provide.

Elixinol Review

Welcome to our Elixinol review!

As a CBD industry frontrunner, Elixinol is expected to maintain the highest standards of safety, quality, and product innovation, core tenets to which they frequently voice their commitments.

But nobody coasts on reputation alone, which is why we made sure to apply the same 27-item assessment we do for all other brands in the case of this Elixinol brand review.

According to our assessment, Elixinol earns a 93.4/100, which earns them entry into our highest tier of brands.

The six major ranking criteria we use include:

  • Quality
  • Transparency
  • Website Experience
  • Customer Service 
  • Value
  • Brand Value

Every criterion is linked to a weighted score, adding up to an overall score out of 100 points.

For more information on how we review brands, check out this simple and informative guide.

Now, for a look at some of our favorite Elixinol products from the review process.

How Elixinol Got Started

Based in Westminster, Colorado, Elixinol was founded in 2014 by Paul Denham, who has a 30-year legacy in hemp.

The Elixinol brand is owned by Elixinol Global, a holding company with a hemp-based food company in Australia, as well as an emerging medical cannabis operation also based in the oceanic country.

Elixinol offers broad-spectrum and full-spectrum hemp products, specializing in capsules of many different concentrations and formulations. 

Elixinol Coupon

Looking to get in on a top-tier brand without emptying your wallet? 

We work closely with brands we review to bring our readership exclusive discounts, such as this 25% off coupon (coupon code: 25INSIDER). 

What Makes Elixinol Unique?

Elixinol differentiates themselves from other CBD brands in a number of ways, including:

Brand loyalty: VP of Product Marketing Lindsay Topping told us that Elixinol has managed to build brand loyalty in a market where bouncing around from brand to brand has long been the status quo. The Elixinol team attributes this to their quality and testing protocols, research-driven formulations, and more.

Transparency: Elixinol offers detailed, comprehensive certificates of analysis (COAs) that give customers all the information they need to know. Customers can access third-party results directly by scanning QR codes on the products they purchased. 

Education: Elixinol has one of the most comprehensive and robust learning platforms that our team has ever seen, covering what CBD is, how it interacts with the body, the difference between hemp extract types and major cannabinoids, and much more. The information is clear, concise, and highly relevant for everyday customers.

Research: Elixinol has partnered with several medical institutions and public-health-focused organizations on studies examining the efficacy of CBD and other cannabinoids for various health challenges. Moreover, they actually use this research to shape their research and development efforts (not just to say they did it). 

Our Elixinol Review

As mentioned, we evaluate brands based on six major criteria, each of which are comprised of various subcriteria covering everything from the CBD extraction method to the brand’s involvement in community-level and global philanthropy. 

First, let’s start with the all-important issue of product quality.

Quality

Max score = 35 points
Elixinol = 35 points

Far beyond the quality of the ingredients and formulations alone, we measure everything from product packaging to hemp sourcing methods when considering a brand’s overall product quality because all of these factors can affect user experience.

Here’s how Elixinol stacked up in this regard.

Product Quality

Elixinol sources their hemp from partner farms in Colorado that are registered with the state department of agriculture.

They use CO2—the industry gold standard for safety reasons—to extract cannabinoids from the hemp plant. 

The CBD oil tinctures, capsules, and topical products we reviewed came in durable and informative packaging.

Each container was housed in a box, and both of these items took full advantage of the space, offering multiple paragraph-long blurbs about CBD, Elixinol, and the intended use of the product as well as basic product information (supplement facts, concentration, warnings, etc.).

Concerning ingredient quality, Elixinol makes use of many supporting botanicals, including turmeric, boswellia, ashwagandha, peppermint essential oil, and the first FDA-approved terpene, beta-caryophyllene. 

This colorful palette of plant-based compounds allows Elixinol to offer their many formulation types (especially in capsules), including products to accommodate comfort, sleep disturbances, active lifestyles, stress, and more. 

What we didn’t see ingredient-wise was equally as important; there were no artificial sweeteners, fillers, or harsh preservatives of any kind.

Finally, Elixinol provides full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD products, which we award full points for in the hemp extract availability subcategory. 

Testing and Certification

Both on the website and the packaging, every Elixinol product we could find was linked (QR codes on packaging, links on the site) to a certificate of analysis from highly reputable labs like Botanacor and Eurofins.

With the exception of terpene readouts, these labs provided full-panel testing, reporting on major cannabinoid levels, any toxins detected, residual solvents, and everything else we needed to know.

Elixinol also backs up their products with US Hemp Authority certification and, for one product, USDA Organic certification, two prestigious credentials that are hard to obtain.

Extraction Method

Supercritical CO2 extraction allows manufacturers to cleanly and efficiently remove cannabinoids from the hemp plant biomass, as CO2 is a very human-friendly solvent. 

As such, we reserve a 100/100 score for this subcategory only for brands that use CO2, which Elixinol does. 

Transparency

Max score = 12.5 points
Elixinol = 10.375 points

Who is leading this brand, where are their products from, what’s in them, and are they backed by lab testing?

This category is all about how easy it is for customers (and reviewers like us) to access vital information like the above.

Info Accessibility

The “About Us” page on Elixinol’s website provides a decent introduction to CBD and the brand’s values, but there are no headshots/bios of company leaders and no specifics (i.e., dates) relating to when the company was founded and how they’ve grown over time.

However, customers can quickly and easily access certificates of analysis on packaging and on the site, which helped the brand recoup a lot of points in this category.

Finally, the product pages do an excellent job conveying all the necessary information and then some—ingredients, general guides, FAQ, etc.—so it’s full marks for product information accessibility. 

Supply Chain Transparency

The only two tidbits of information we could exhume relating to Elixinol’s supply chain (where the hemp is grown, where it goes from there, etc.) were that the product is grown in the US and the oil is extracted with CO2 and ethanol.

We don’t expect a super-detailed breakdown of every small step in the supply chain, but it is important for consumers to at least know where/who the farms are, who formulates and packages the products, and so on.

As such, Elixinol took a solid hit for supply chain transparency, but were still able to round out the category with 10.4 out of 12.5 points because of their solid performance in other areas. 

Website Experience

Max score = 7.5 points
Elixinol = 7.375 points

Regardless of the product, a well-designed website can convey trustworthiness and authority while making the learning and purchasing experience as seamless as possible, all of which convert to higher brand loyalty in the end.

For these reasons, we prioritize a brand website’s educational resources, mobile responsiveness, and of course, e-commerce experience. 

Product Navigation and Purchasing

It was very easy to access product categories and browse Elixinol’s fairly sizable catalog; we rarely had to rely on the “back button” or a tangled mess of filters.

The overall aesthetic is minimalistic and attractive, and on both product category pages as well as individual product pages, a wealth of supplemental information made us feel more confident as we donned the perspective of first-time CBD users. 

Overall, the site was responsive on mobile devices, but we made a very small deduction for some minor user interface issues (i.e., scrollable image carousels not responding to swiping properly).

Site Content

In addition to the educational info peppered across product and category pages, Elixinol maintains one of the most well-written and robust information platforms in the business.

Between the “CBD 101” page, the 50+ blog posts, and the FAQ section, all of which are conveniently grouped under the “Learn” section of the Elixinol site, new and veteran CBD users alike can learn something new.

Customer Service

Max Score = 10 points
Elixinol = 9.5 points

Here is an arena where a brand’s actions towards their customers can be held up to their promises, which is why customer service is such a telling indicator of a brand’s overall integrity.

More than just accommodation and responsiveness, it’s also important for the customer experience that a brand provides common support channels (phone, email, chat) and maintains fair shipping and return policies.

Contact Options and Responsiveness

Though Elixinol has phone, email, and live chat services, the live chat isn’t really live—it routes you to a support bot that can either submit a ticket through the email system or direct you to the Elixinol knowledge base.

Still, all three channels we tested were highly responsive and accommodating, so we awarded 90/100 for this ranking factor.

Shipping and Return Policies

The shipping and return policies are fair in that customers are protected with a 30-day, money-back guarantee (and 72 hours for products received damaged), but we made a small deduction here because Elixinol doesn’t reimburse for shipping on returns.

Value

Max score = 10 points
Elixinol = 6.44 points

Some brands can justify charging premiums with their above-and-beyond quality standards, ingredients, etc., which is why we incorporate an “ingredient quality relative to price” factor alongside scoring for raw price. 

Our standard practice when scoring raw price for a brand is to find a basic CBD oil tincture, and adjust the closest available concentration to a month’s worth of CBD (1500mg).

Then, we plug the raw price for that month’s supply into a scale we developed after assessing the pricing structure of industry-leading brands. 

Pricing and Ingredient Quality

It costs roughly $110 for a month’s supply of Elixinol’s standard CBD oil tincture, which earns 17.5/100 for raw price.

This may seem harsh, but some of our trusted, high-quality brands charge as little as half of this amount.

On the back end, however, we gave Elixinol the maximum possible points for ingredient quality relative to price, since they have botanically enriched, clean ingredient lists every time. 

Brand Value

Max score = 25 points
Elixinol = 24.75 points

Finally, this broad category measures a particular brand’s imprint on the CBD industry, their local communities, and the world at large.

This encompasses many efforts that don’t always fit nicely into boxes, so we cast a wide net by awarding credit for the following:

  • Product innovation
  • Community and industry involvement/memberships
  • Participation and/or investment in medical studies
  • Legislative and regulatory activism
  • Supplier oversight (vertical integration?)
  • Institutional knowledge
  • Philanthropy

Product Innovation

Between Elixinol’s synergistic capsules; high-quality oils, gummies, and topicals; and innovative liposome-enhanced formulation; it’s no question that they’ve earned full marks for product innovation.

Community, Research, and Legislative Investment

Elixinol has partnered with Realm of Caring and Johns Hopkins on several studies related to CBD’s effects, earning full points for research investment and participation. 

We also default to a full score for community and industry involvement (as well as legislative activism) for members of the US Hemp Roundtable, as this particular association has been instrumental in moving hemp legislation forward. 

Regarding supply chain oversight, Elixinol has the maximum amount you can have without owning the hemp production itself, earning 95/100 here.

Institutional knowledge runs deep throughout the leadership team, between Global CEO Oliver Horn’s experience leading major corporations (L’Oreal, Treasury Wine Estates, etc.) and Global R&D Director Beata Silber, PhD, who is a neuropsychology expert with more than a decade of experience in research departments for major companies. 

Finally, on the philanthropy side, Elixinol is among the most generous CBD brands when it comes to donating both bulk sums and a percentage of their ongoing sales to various organizations.

The brand donates 5% of every purchase to a non-profit of their customers’ choosing, and their work with Realm of Caring and Leaf411 has taken aim at public health with a pro-CBD lens.

Our Elixinol Overall Rating

All totaled, Elixinol receives a score of 93.44, entering the top tier of brands that score over 90 points.

Here are some key takeaways to sum up our review:

  • Synergistic, research-driven formulations
  • High testing and reporting standards
  • Slightly expensive, but well-priced for the quality
  • Strong brand research, legislation, and philanthropy participation
  • Excellent website experience and customer service

We highly recommend Elixinol for CBD newbies and veterans alike, not just for their high-quality products, but for how well they educate and accommodate their customers.

Elixinol CBD Oils Review

Concentration

The broad-spectrum Daily Balance CBD Tincture we sampled came in a 500mg concentration, though it is also available in 133mg, 1000mg, and 4000mg strengths.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown for our product according to the certificate of analysis:

  • CBD: 21.8mg/g (654mg total)
  • CBN: 0.04mg/g (1.2mg total)
  • CBG: 0.03mg/g (0.9mg total)
  • CBC: 1.0mg/g (30mg total)
  • THC: ND (non-detectable level)

The CBD level is right where we want it (and then some), and the supporting cannabinoid content is right around five percent of the CBD content, which is average as top-tier brands go.

Value

The 500mg Daily Balance CBD Tincture we reviewed retails for $39.99, which reduces to just under $0.08/mg.

Though this price point isn’t outlandish by any means—especially not for a highly reputable brand—it lands just outside of that highly competitive $0.03-$0.06/mg range.

As mentioned in the brand review, Elixinol made up several points on the back end of the price ranking factor for overall quality.

Packaging

The packaging (small box, darkly tinted bottle, and standard dropper lid) was consistent with Elixinol’s other products, which are consistent with the best brands in the industry.

Both box and bottle contained a QR code for easy access to lab reports, the labeling is succinct and highly informative, and the bottle/lid held up throughout our entire use of the product.

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list for this Daily Balance CBD Tincture: Hemp extract (aerial parts), medium-chain triglyceride coconut oil, steam distilled peppermint essential oil, beta-caryophyllene (BCP).

While still fairly simple and straightforward, the rare addition of both a health-affirming essential oil and an FDA-approved terpene (BCP) bodes very well for the quality of this product.

This is among the most impressive ingredient lists we’ve seen for a “standard” CBD oil tincture.

Flavor

We thoroughly enjoyed the Winter Mint flavor of this broad-spectrum tincture, which somehow almost completely masked the hemp taste without assaulting the palate with extreme mintiness.

This was a smart play for three reasons:

Peppermint oil has various health benefits
It effectively masks the hemp taste while consuming
It leaves you with a pleasant aftertaste as well

Overall, we highly recommend the flavor, and would love to see more products from Elixinol and/or other brands using essential oils as flavoring agents.

Effectiveness

This tincture was moderately effective at reducing stress throughout the day, and when taken in the morning, it helped us wake up and get on with our day earlier (sometimes even skipping the coffee!).

In most cases, we had to take at least 2-3 full droppers (32-48mg) a day to achieve these effects.

Overall, this tincture was as effective as most other standard CBD oils from top-tier brands.

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros for this Daily Balance CBD Tincture:

  • Excellent flavor
  • Above-average botanical support
  • Effective at reducing stress and promoting productivity

And the cons:

  • Slightly expensive

Elixinol Capsules Review

learn more about elixinol cbd capsules

Concentration

All four of the capsules we tried—Immune Gut Health, Good Night, Stress Less, and Body Comfort—came in 15mg/capsule concentrations.

We also kept the unit count consistent at 60, so each product should contain 900mg of CBD.

Here are the CBD, THC, and total supporting (non-THC/CBD) cannabinoid readouts according to the certificates of analysis for these four products (per capsule):

  • Immune Gut Health: CBD = 17.37, delta-9 THC = 0.33mg, supporting cannabinoids = 0.99mg
  • Good Night: CBD = 14.34mg, delta-9 THC = 0.2/mg, supporting cannabinoids = 0.63mg
  • Stress Less: CBD = 13.52mg, delta-9 THC = 0.33mg, supporting cannabinoids = 0.48mg
  • Body Comfort: CBD = 15.62mg, delta-9 THC = 0.36mg, supporting cannabinoids = 0.63mg

Overall, THC levels were well below the legally mandated 0.3% cutoff, and supporting cannabinoid concentration varied between a decent 4-7% range, but the CBD was under-delivered in a couple of cases.

However, the melatonin (Good Night) and ashwagandha (Stress Less) help to make up for this.

Value

All four of these products retail for $64.99, which reduces to $0.07/mg.

As expected, this price point is slightly lower than that of Elixinol’s CBD oil tinctures, but it’s still slightly higher than most.

Once again, when the quality of the clean, synergistic ingredients are taken into account, we still consider these to be well worth the price.

Packaging

All of our capsules came in the same box/container combo, complete with ample supplemental information, basic product info, and a QR code for lab report access.

The lids secured tightly after each use, and the labeling was very helpful.

Simply put, there’s nothing more to ask for here—the packaging is top quality.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredient lists for each product we sampled:

Immune Gut Health: GinfortTM, (Ginger extract, 26% gingeroids, active gingeroids, hemp extract (aerial parts), medium-chain triglyceride coconut oil, vegetarian capsules [hypromellose, purified water, D-sorbitol], silica.

Good Night: Melatonin, hemp extract (from aerial parts), MCT coconut oil, vegetarian capsules [HPMC, purified water, D-sorbitol], silica.

Stress Less: Ashwagandha extract (withania somnifera), hemp extract (from aerial parts), MCT coconut oil, vegetarian capsules [HPMC, purified water, D-sorbitol], silica.

Body Comfort: Boswellia extract (boswellia serrata) (gum resin), hemp extract (from aerial parts), MCT coconut oil, vegetarian capsules [HPMC, purified water, D-sorbitol], silica.

Flavor

With the exception of the immune gut health capsules, all of these products had little to no scent or taste.

The immune gut health capsules didn’t taste of ginger on initial consumption, but we were able to detect faint remnants of ginger flavor about half an hour after consuming.

Overall, there were no major concerns in this department; everything in the scent and flavor department was consistent with CBD capsules from other top-tier brands.

Effectiveness

Even more so than the CBD oil tincture, these capsules all helped with relaxation and stress.

It was difficult to gauge the effect of the Immune Gut Health capsules in our case, both because this benefit is more of a “background application” and because we weren’t experiencing any digestive issues throughout the sampling window.

However, after several consecutive days of taking at least 3 of the Body Comfort capsules, we noticed a decrease in soreness, both after exercise and long bouts of working in a seated position.

Finally, the Good Night capsules helped us to fall asleep faster if we took at least 3 in the evening.

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • Effective, botanically enhanced formulations
  • Various product options to address wellness challenges
  • Very clean ingredient lists

And now the cons:

  • Slightly lower concentration

Elixinol Topicals Review

photo

learn more about elixinol cbd topicals

Concentration

The Elixinol Sports Gel we sampled provides 1000mg of CBD in a 3.4oz (100ml) bottle.

Considering the majority of topicals stop somewhere between 500-750mg, we consider this broad-spectrum product to be among the stronger CBD topicals on the market.

Here is the cannabinoid breakdown according to the certificate of analysis for our product:

  • CBD = 991mg
  • CBC = 12mg
  • Delta-9 THC = ND (non-detectable level)

Considering the CBD content “falls short” of the label claim by less than one percent, we’ll call it an even 1000mg.

That said, the supporting cannabinoid concentration is a little low, at roughly 1.2% of the CBD concentration.

Overall, the product complies with the THC limit and delivers the CBD as promised.

Value

This product retails for $59.99, which reduces to just under $0.06/mg.

This is where Elixinol starts to climb into a more competitive price range; high-quality topicals typically cost at least $0.08/mg.

Considering the brand behind the product, we consider this particular topical to be an especially strong value.

Packaging

The pump bottle this topical comes in—which is housed in the usual box—is better than most at preventing messy build-up around the opening after a few uses.

As usual, the box and bottle both contain helpful and succinct info in addition to basic product details and a QR code for accessing lab reports.

Ingredients

Here is the ingredient list: Water, SD alcohol, glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, aminomethyl propanol, arnica montana flower extract, cannabis sativa (hemp) extract, capsicum frutescens resin, carbomer, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, cinnamomum camphora (camphor) bark oil, cinnamomum cassia bark extract, citrus grandis (grapefruit) seed extract, cymbopogon schoenanthus oil, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) bark/leaf/twig extract, limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil.

As expected, this topical contains upwards of a dozen natural oils and extracts, and no harmful preservatives.

There’s no room for critiques here; top marks for high-quality ingredients.

Scent, Texture, and Sensation

As most topical creams and ointments go, this Sports Gel by Elixinol was not very intense in the way of burning and cooling sensations.

We did notice a mild-to-moderate tingling sensation setting in roughly two minutes after application and lasting roughly twenty minutes after the fact.

The gel smelled of mint, pine, and just a touch of citrus.

It was slightly more viscous than average, leaving no drippy residue whatsoever, and massaged nicely into the skin in just a few seconds.

Effectiveness

This product was moderately effective at relieving aches and pains in smaller joints (sore wrists and knuckles) as well as larger application sites (hip and low back), though we have to say it really shines in the first application.

On most days, we were able to keep sore wrists and hands at bay by applying a very small amount of the gel to these areas every two hours or so.

This may not be the ideal product if you’re looking to cover up a nagging issue with intense burning and cooling sensations, but the discomfort relief it provided lasted significantly longer than most.

Pros & Cons

Let’s start with the pros:

  • High concentration
  • Effective at relieving minor discomfort
  • Long-lasting benefits
  • Competitively priced

And now the cons:

  • Milder tingling/cooling sensations

Recommended Product

They were most effective when taken 3-4 hours before bed.

Recommended Product

Elixinol Daily Balance Tincture

Easy on the THC (as in, zero) and packed with supporting cannabinoids, this tincture is the best of both worlds.

At two full doses a day, it was effective at smoothing out stressful moments.

Plus, the refreshing Winter Mint flavor covered up the hemp taste wonderfully.

Recommended Product

Elixinol Active Body Comfort Capsules

These innovative CBD capsules are fortified with Boswellia to support joint comfort.

When taking this product between workouts, we found it improved recovery time and soreness.

Like the rest of Elixinol’s catalog, this product is made with safe and natural ingredients.

All Elixinol Products

Elixinol has a moderately sized product selection, offering CBD oils, capsules, and topicals featuring full-spectrum and broad-spectrum extracts.

CBD Oils

Elixinol offers four tincture products:

  • Organic Balance
  • Daily Balance: Full-Spectrum
  • Daily Balance: Broad-Spectrum
  • Everyday Rapid Reset: Liposome

The Liposome product is particularly interesting because its made with a special water-soluble technology that is supposed to drastically improve absorption, requiring less CBD for the same results.

CBD Capsules

Elixinol has six CBD capsule products:

  • Daily Balance
  • Sleep Good Night Capsules
  • Active Body Comfort
  • Calm Stress Support
  • Active Omega Turmeric
  • Immune Gut Health

Besides Daily Balance, which is the brand’s standard capsule, each of the other versions contain a special blend of synergistic herbs that are intended to produce a specific benefit, such as relief or relaxation.

CBD Topicals

Elixinol has three CBD topicals:

  • Sports Gel (Broad-Spectrum)
  • Hemp Balm (Full-Spectrum)
  • Lip Balm (Full-Spectrum)

The most unique product to Elixinol is the Sports Gel, which has a creamy, gel-like consistency.

CBD Gummies

Elixinol now offers a line of full-spectrum hemp gummies in various flavors.

The Good Mood gummy line comes in Passion Fruit, Mixed Berry, Pineapple, or Assorted Flavors, and customers can choose between a 30-count tub and 4-count sachets.

Conclusion

After completing our review, we concluded that Elixinol is an excellent brand with products that are safe, high-quality, and affordable.

The company is transparent about its entire operation from “seed to sale.”

The hemp is organically grown, the oil is extracted with CO2, and the purity of the products is proven with extensive, comprehensive third-party testing.

As for their products, our team was simply surprised at how affordable Elixinol made each product.

If we had to describe Elixinol in a word, it would simply be: impressive.

After personally testing their products and thoroughly vetting their operation, we are excited to recommend Elixinol.
