Best CBD Oil Companies Reviewed – Trusted CBD Brands [Updated for 2019]
It’s already been a progressive year and here at Pure Green Living, we are committed to providing the latest and greatest in green culture. Whether you’re new to CBD oil or a regular user, we’re well aware that finding the best CBD products to fit your needs can be difficult. The number of hemp oil products and CBD brands (for sale) to choose from can become overwhelming, to say the least… that is why we’ve done the research for you and put together our list of the best CBD oil reviews. This list is constantly growing as we test more and more products so we can keep you informed on everything from the best CBD edible, to the strongest CBD oil. Providing up-to-date information available about cannabidiol (CBD), its health benefits, breaking news, and current field research is one thing, but the products listed below have been tested in-house and recommended by our experts.
Our 10 Best List – CBD Oil Products You Can Buy Today
1 Best CBD Tincture
Calm by Wellness is voted the best-tasting and most trusted CBD on the market today. Grown in Loveland, Colorado and manufactured in Irvine, California – Calm by Wellness has pioneered functional terpene blends with a whole plant broad spectrum hemp extract formulated with only organic and natural ingredients. They believe in helping everyone find calm every day which we absolutely love. Every product comes with a risk-free 30-day guarantee because every batch is triple lab-tested and recommended by their advisory board of doctors and scientists. Their Strawberry Lemon-Aid CBD Tincture is not only unique but tastes great (they have Peppermint too, along with their line of Chill, Focus, and Sleep tinctures)! And their customer service is amazing.
2(Honorable Mention) Strongest CBD Full Spectrum
3600mg CBD Tincture by Elixinol
With 1 serving being 1 dropper full on the 3600mg version you get a huge dose of full spectrum CBD per serving. We were able to sample the Cinnamint Flavor and found that it had a very minty refreshing taste. Their formula contains no isolated cannabinoids used as ingredient base, organically derived, and no harsh solvents/toxic chemicals. Elixinol is one of our top trusted brands in the space.
3(Honorable Mention) CBD Tincture
CBDPure is derived from organically grown hemp plants in Colorado. Popular amongst reputable CBD brands is their risk-free 90 day money-back guarantee. They utilize CO2 Fluid extraction to ensure their CBD contains only full spectrum cannabinoids. CBDPure Hemp Oil contains no added colors or flavors. CBDPure offers 100, 300, and 600mg bottles of pure CBD oil. One drawback to CBDPure is they only offer tinctures (edit: they just added gelcaps) which cap out at 600mg per bottle. If you're looking for something stronger you'll want to move down this list.

4 Best E-Liquid & Vaporizer Starter Kits
TOP PICK – Best Starter Kit Vape Bright excels in their single product offering: Thrive CBD vape kits. Each starter kit contains a 200mg CBD oil cartridge, a battery, USB charger, and case to get you started with CBD oil vaping. It’s a discreet product you can take with you anywhere. There’s no button, so all you have to do is simply inhale for some of the best vaporized CBD oil available on the market today. Each puff is approximately 1g CBD, offering some heavy hitting benefits up to 10x what you get from some of the other vapes on the market.
TOP PICK – Best Flavor When we sampled these flavors we were definitely impressed. They have a great range for vape oils that taste awesome. You can see their lab tests on all their products ranging from 75mg-1000mg per 60ml e-liquid. We like that they offer tons of great flavors to suite any taste palette. While you'll have to provide your own vaporizer for these it will be an easy transition for those who already vape and can readily mix flavors with your current juices. We've linked you to a 300mg because that's our recommendation for normal users.

5 Best CBD Edible
Okay, hands down, these things actually work! I tried a sample of this yesterday, just one gummy worm, and I felt an overall numbness as my current back pain vanished, AND put me in a nice relaxed state of mind. Something I could not achieve with over the counter meds. The “Good Vibes” CBD edible gummies have 10mg 15mg of CBD per gummy. What surprising is you can’t taste any presence of CBD! No hint of hemp or plant whatsoever. Honestly, it can be mistaken as a regular candy. It is gluten-free and comes with different flavors such as watermelon and cola. Currently on sale for $20 off.

6Highest Potency Extract
Pure Spectrum Extract by Pure Science Lab
1g 41% CBD Hemp Oil Extract (Oral Applicator – 410mg total CBD)
This unit will have to go into its own category as not many cbd merchants sell a pure hemp extract. After speaking with the owner of Pure Science Lab, Steve, he mentions that they sell the pure extract made from pure cbd spectrum vs cbd isolate to both manufacturers as well as consumers. A few of our reviewed brands even use his extract to make their tinctures, edibles and more. With 41% CBD per gram (or 410mg total), this pure high-potency CBD concentrate is one of the best products available for sale, and is indeed, the strongest full spectrum CBD you can buy. It also comes in multiple packs as well as in 5g applicators. Committed to quality and third party testing, Pure Science Lab’s CBD extract is great to use directly under your tongue or create concoctions of your own.

Best Topical Pain Cream
Kanna Freeze Pure Pain Cream by Pure Science Lab
TOP PICK Pure Science Lab using full Spectrum CBD vs. CBD Isolate tops our list for best pain cream for athletes. You will want to use this like a normal rub, it provides a nice cooling sensation as it is infused with 7% Menthol – 250-500 mg CBD Hemp Oil Extract – and available in: 2 & 4 ounces. It is also portable and can be carried and used wherever you go.See our review on CBD topicals for pain
8 Best CBD Capsule
New! This item knocked down in the rankings CBD Drips EcoCaps as it provided a much better value. MedterraCBD has been climbing the ranks as a leading premier cbd company. Their gel capsules are great for those who do not want to sublingually administer a tincture or take any in gummy, vape, or edible form. Offering two strengths of 25mg or 50mg with 99% CBD Isolate encapsulated with MCT Oil you can choose from a lighter dose for mornings and a stronger dose for night for fast easy relief.
9 Best CBD Chocolate
When testing cbd chocolate we look for both potency and taste. We found the 60% Dark Chocolate offering by Pure Science Lab to exceed out expectations and deliver a great tasting chocolate bar with a nice amount of CBD that you can easily measure by square (each has 5mg). Pure Science takes pride in their usage of only 100% pure cbd spectrum vs cbd isolate like many brands offer. If you're looking for a great edible with almost no taste of hemp this is your go to!

10 Best Topical Cream
Receptra Naturals Targeted Topical
Their topical salve is great for targeting sore muscles and joints, offering quick relief directly into the bloodstream for those painful moments when you need it most. It contains 400mg of CBD per container, and comes with a soothing scent of jasmine and ylang ylang. Locally sourced and made in Colorado with 100% organic hemp, this topical is third party tested to ensure you’re getting the quality you deserve in a product designed to provide quick relief.

11 Best Water
This one's a definite plus as it's another way to get a very direct shot of medicine. CBD Living Water has nano-infused CBDs into great tasting water for a direct shot of CBDs to your body's cells. Using the laws of quantum physics, they've created a product with an amazing bioavailability because the nano sized particles are easier for the body to absorb quickly. As an added bonus, Living Water is 7.4 PH. We suggest trying it out with a 6 pack, priced in bulk for less than $45!

12 Best Product for Your Pet
Of course we can't forget our furry little friends! These biscuits are MAPLE BACON flavored! They are the classic no brainer purchase! Giving your pet medicine is always such a messy process. You’re fiddling around with syringes, paying too much and forget trying to hide the stuff in their food in a way that they don’t find it! Canna-Pet has created these organic biscuits with every allergy I’ve heard of in mind. None of the bad stuff (GMOs, corn, wheat, soy) and all of the good (CBD). This is a smart buy all around as one biscuit just twice a day provides daily wellness for your family member while keeping pricey veterinarian bills to a minimum.

Some Things to Remember About Serving Size / Dosing
Getting the correct dosage is crucial when using CBD oil, no matter what type of product you decide on. Although it’s impossible to overdose on CBD, it’s important to know exactly how much you should be taking. While you can’t really take “too much” CBD oil, you can take “too little”, rendering your medication useless (and wasting your money and time).
CBD works wonders for a variety of different conditions, and there is truly no “one-size-fits-all” approach to a suggested serving size. While most people only need a 2-3mg a day to notice the benefits, others might need a higher dosage depending on the conditions they are taking it for. Some people with adverse medical conditions might take up to 200mg a day. An excellent place to start is by taking 2-3mg in the morning and then another 2-3mg in the evening until you find a dosage that suits your individual needs.

What to Know Before You Buy
If you’re completely new to CBD you'll want to check out our how to buy cbd oil guide. Main bullet points below are things to think about before you make a final decision on what CBD product is best for you:
- How you want to take it (sublingually, edible, capsule, vaping, etc.)
- How many milligrams of CBD you desire
- Price versus strength – which is most important
- What brands we trust
-
What CBD Brands to Avoid!
- Avoid websites that offer a “FREE TRIAL”
Bright big sales pages with an entry form and a big brightly colored button are signs that you may be signing up for a subscription service without your knowing. These monthly shipment contracts will continuously bill you and are sometimes hard to get out of.
- Brands with no publicly posted third party results
- Brands that the FDA has found “not to contain the levels of CBD they claim”
When making your decision it's important to know that not all CBD claims are as they seem! This is very relevant in the CBD niche as this is not yet FDA regulated. The FDA does tests on cbd products for sale online and publicly release warning letters to those companies who have failed to meet their claims. See the list below on which CBD brands you should probably avoid.
Keep in mind these are from past years, so if you're still planning on buying from these companies, make sure that they have straightened up their act and publicly display their third party lab results.

How to sensibly buy LEGAL cbd oil online? Because I got a letter saying customs has confiscated my package two times already and I’m pissed.
Been here done that. The only place where i was able to purchase cbd legally was this verified place here
verifiedcbdoil.com Fast shipping, great quality.
got to know about your website. Thanks for the top12 comparison, now i can peacefully choose a cbd oil 🙂
Great to hear Preet! You should also consider trying out the edibles, we love them and wrote a pretty great post about cbd gummies here.
Been using livlabs and has worked for me and my family from relieving pain, stress and even my wife lost 10lbs weigh first week on it. The slender hemp helped her not over eat and curved her cravings.. she swears by lib lab cbd oil.
Anyone hear of a brand Organix CBD? Is it a scam? I heard it was!
Hi Fran, we haven’t heard of them yet. We will reach out though to find out more information whether it is or isn’t. Thanks for your comment!
Do you consider hempworkx cbd oil with good quality
Hi Gracel, We have not yet reviewed their site, we will look into it though. Thanks for your comment!
Please do…they are one of, if not THE fastest growing CBD manufacturer/distributor in the USA. 2017 did $9MM…2018 did $100MM. Appears to be very high quality and third party tested, but would love your review.
Aren’t they a multi level marketing company?
do you have any opinion or insight into Green Science CBD oil?
I have not heard of them. Upon scanning their website it seems very bare and without lab tests. Exercise caution here.
So, the gummies Have CBD without the THC?
Yes, that’s correct. You can double check the website’s lab tests to see the concentration but in 99% of cases that we’ve seen THC is not present.
I’ve been thinking about this Mr. Hand. If You’re writing review of products, and you sell the same products. Isn’t there a conflict of interest and question of trust here?
Hey Jeff,
Not sure if you’re referring to myself as “mr. hand”, but assuming you are we don’t actually sell any CBD products. We’ve tested tons of CBD products and brands and offer what we think are some of the best in those categories. Thanks for the comment!
I bought CBD oil from green science and I can’t figure out if it has THC in it or not. I cannot have THC in my system and I don’t know what to do about it help me please
I believe I found green science from a quick google search but I’m unfamiliar with the brand. You’ll want to look for valid publicly posted third party lab testings, nutrition and ingredients lists. If you can’t find those on the website, you should contact the seller and ask for them directly. Hope that helps Barbara!
CBD oil almost always gets rid of my RLS immediately when I put a couple of drops behind my knees (250 mg. full spectrum, whole plant). This oil IS from the hemp plant and, according to the information, free store may have only a trace of tHC in it, but not enough to cause hallucinations. I would request detailed information from the distributor and from your dr.
What about CBDmd?
We’re looking to try them and review! Hopefully in the next month or so.

Is there any website where I can order cbd oil they get from a marijuana plant and not a hemp plant?
Yes. “4 Corners” grow their own Marijuana plants that have less than the legal limit of THC & Full Spectrum CBD. They’re expensive with limited options, but I love it so much I’ve reordered already. (No I’m not an affiliate or anything). So far… I’m thrilled.
Anyone hear of Green Labs CBD? Can this be vaped?
We haven’t but upon inspection I’d avoid sites with these types of landing pages.
Can you review 2RiseNaturals please. I really like their product but I cannot find a review of the anywhere. They provided me
With 3rd Party testing information when I requested it. They make a great tasting tincture with tumeric and orange oil essence. I tried another company first and it was disgusting. This product tastes great, helped me tremendously insomnia, plus I love that they add tumeric. I’m hoping it’s legit. Thanks!
Is it completely legal to purchase and sell these hemp oul products online?
How about ctfo?
Has anyone used NuLeaf Naturals? I just purchased a .17 FL. OZ of pure hemp oil that contains 240 mg of cbd, 100% organic for my dog. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii and searching online this is the only product available without shipping from the mainland.
Hey Clara! Yep, we’ve tested NuLeaf Naturals in house and also have reviewed them. You can see more on our cbd tinctures page.
Interesting
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and Reynolds Disease. Having chronic pain has caused me to have chronic fatigue. Which only makes my Depression worse. I’ve been on opioids for several years now seeing my pain management doc. Now off all opioids and on Methadone. I’d love to kiss all the man made synthetic pain medication good bye forever and give these products a try. Any reccomendations to help rid me of my EXCRUCIATING PAIN? Even after reading everything I’ve read, I’m unsure of what to buy? Just need the pain to stop!!!! Thanks A Million for your valuable time and kindness.
Kelly, I found this site while researching for myself. I use vape bright cbd oil (for widespread chronic pain, inflamation + colon & bladder pain, Reynauds & anxiety) combined with Noxicare, a non cbd all natural organic cream. A pea sized amount of Noxicare is enough for my lower back or thigh. I was able to get off of Fentenyl patches that I had been on for over 22 years. CBD combined with Noxicare is unbelievably amazing for me!!! I also started some excellent enzymes and suppliments that a good herbalist could get you on snd I eliminated all dairy, processed oils, sugar, gluten and most animal products. The diet helped with inflammation. Don’t give up, you will find something! If you want sublingual cbd, I liked the effects of Endoca, (I didn’t like the taste) vape bright worked faster and better for me.
I know someone who had Ankylosing Spondylitis. He eventually got back surgery for it, and now he is fine!
I also have AS and Endoca Raw 1500 works wonders for me – I still occasionally have bad days but I feel like I am getting my life back. Good luck!
Anyone heard of Smart Organics Inc?
Yes, I order from there. Great site.
Anyone heard of or tried illuminent
Illuminent CBD is definitely a Top Shelf CBD. The flavors are amazing and the products work! They use hemp grown and harvested in the US and use the CO2 extraction method. They custom formulate all of their own products in their ISO-7 Cerified lab as well as third party testing. They are a very innovative company! I fell in love with the products and how they changed my life, I decided to partner with them to help change the lives of others.
Prime my body? Any feedback on that company?
Multi level marketing….
Has anyone tried the patches by Isodiol?
Has anyone tried Select CBD tincture drops? Get awful migraines and heard cbd drops help. Local shop carries the Select brand.
We’re looking to try them, Donna!
Has anyone heard of Professor Whytes cbd?
I have not…
Has anyone heard of or tried Thoughcloud CBD?
Hi I tried CBD Gummies from Diamond, they are not very strong. I have 100mg gummies from WhollyHemp. (which I divide into thirds) They have lab results. Any thoughts on this company? They seem to work for me and are full spectrum. We have Pure CBD oil because all the other oils we have found come with MCT or Coconut oil as the carrier. (Which upsets my stomach) Want to find a good full spectrum gummy and oil. From what we have read min. a day I should be taking 50mg. If Anyone can find high quality oil without the MCT or gummies with high potency please let me know, otherwise I am sticking with these two companies!
I have read two different sites who claim to inform of the best products. Both sites have completely different products. How does one decide what to get?? I’ve never used it, but interested in the health benefits, mainly brain health.
Anyone know anything about CBD oil from a company called Charlottes Webb?
Hi Tarri
Did u try Charolettes Web ? I heard theyr a good company – I’m with CTFO, of course I feel theyr the best but what u say ?
Any opinions on healthworxcbd?? They have test results from a 3rd party and are full spectrum grown in the USA. But I can’t find anything about them aside from the customer reviews on their site. If anyone’s heard or used them before please let me know.
Anyone heard of or tried cbd oil from myqscience?
My dr is selling cbd living tincture 1000 mg. She’s selling for the same price they sell online.
I see you say their water is great but how about their tincture??
Have you ever heard of Chakra Xtracts? My friend has been using their products for awhile now but I can’t seem to find any reviews on them. the website is https://www.chakraxtracts.com/products/medtincture-cbd-oil please let me know!
What great timing, Sam. We’re looking to try and review them. Watch out for it 🙂
Im learning more about the importance of cbd being water soluable and how this is the future for cbd oil. Much of it is wasted because it is not absorbed. Oil and water dont mix. Has anyone used Zilis or reviewed?
So I am reading Lab Results for the 500mg 10xPure Full Spectrum CBD Oil Drops from CTFO.
I can send you the pdf so you can see what I am seeing.
At the top right there are 9 safety tests from Pesticides, microbials ,terpenes down to moisture.
All 9 state NT which after contacting customer service I have come to learn means Not Tested.
The same thing for the Lab Results for the 300mg CBD Oil Drops.
Residual solvents from Propane and Iso-butane appear as N/A
Out of 37 residual solvents…only one Ethanol is given a PASS.
Now I was able to find the interpretation for everything else in the legend, however NT is not disclosed in the legend…so one has no way of interpreting until you actually speak with a customer service agent, unless the assumption is made. Fishy, but I am an agent and am soooo rooting for CTFO to prove me wrong since I have skin in the game already.
Hopefully someone here knows something I don’t.
The only reason I am even speaking about this on a public website is because of the level of frustration I am currently experiencing. My uplines have no answer for me, customer service has no answer for me and I just want my concerns laid to rest so I can continue promoting this product I have been so far successful in promoting.
Tell me about Green Labs CBD. If you have reviewed it what can you tell me about the company and its uality? Any information from anyone would be helpful. My Google searches are very confusing as to finding the exact website and from there the uality of the product.
ASAP please 12/16/18 4:55 CST

I’ve been hearing a lot about CBD products over the past few months but had some reservations abut it. A few of my friends have started using them for various different reasons and I thought what the heck why not! This article was very helpful for me for finding out what products are best fit for me (bad back, insomnia). Thanks for the informative article, looking forward to giving some of these products a try

How about Swiss Relief? My chiropractor likes that one.
Tried a couple of the items you listed down. And yep, they actually worked wonders for me. Thoroughly enjoyed the Good Vibes Gummies and Kannafreeze. I’d rather take a look at your CBD items and buy from there than deal with multi-level marketers who try to sell me items that they claim have CBD but are actually watered down.
Might try the CBD chocolate bar the next time I get my period. I’ve heard great stuff about it from my pals, but seeing it reviewed on your list just made me more eager to buy it for myself next time.
I work in a clinic and have read many reviews and its interesting how Charlotte’s Web is left off of most of them yet I’ve had the best results with their products.
How can I get Red Robin Hood CBD checked for purity and quality.
I bought online and they claimed all that. It is 300 mg and they have a special for 5 for $150. Please help me. drtabor2@gmail.com
MetaLabs?? Has anyone tried!? The health food store sells it and I was wondering about it
Does anyone know about the quality of Red Robin Hood CBD ?
I’ve been using Lab Blends CBD oil that I order my massage creme from Biotone. Has anyone used this?
Any info on Alife?
Yes, big drawback I have a company trying to,sell me “RELIVA” would like feedback on that too.
Great work. Trying to find on of the top ten CBD oil dealers to promote but really don’t know which one to follow. Any advice or help from you “Pure Green Living”. Gary you may know what i mean.
Hi Jeremy, have you had a chance to review Hempworx yet? I have ordered and want to make sure I am not going to put something toxic in my body!
Hi Rebecca! Sorry, we have not tried them yet! Do make sure to read about them and their products and that their lines are open for any of your questions. Check their lab tests too!
Was wondering the same thing. Would love to find out why?
Hi Jeremy! What about Purekana, Rocky Ridge Hemp Co. & Lazarus Naturals? Any reviews or information on these 3 companies?
Have you guys heard of the brand Pure CBD Selection?
Thx for all! https://puregreenliving.com/cbd-brands
