CBD Life UK is a seasoned CBD company currently operating in London. The company has built up a solid arsenal of products — ranging from CBD oils and edible gummies to vape liquids and capsules.
This company takes the quality of its products seriously, and several of the founders are members of the Cannabis Trade Association — which is a nonprofit organization aiming to improve the standards of the CBD industry as a whole.
Overall, this brand is highly recommended for our European readers.
Mission/Charity5/5
CBD Life UK was founded by a family who discovered first-hand the incredible health benefits of CBD. The company mission from the very beginning was to share quality CBD products with those who need it most. The industry at the time was very unreliable, and it was easy for people who needed CBD to mistakenly order products that offered little to no value. CBD Life UK worked on securing a supply chain that could provide consistently high-quality CBD products to meet that goal.
This brand also donates several times throughout the year to local charities.
Hemp Source4/5
CBD Life UK sources its hemp from all over the world — Germany, Lithuania, Colorado, and more. They don’t put the emphasis on where the hemp comes from — the more important part is its overall quality. CBD Life UK has a strict vetting process before it makes an order on the hemp it’s using to make these products.
The only way this company could improve their rating in this category is by sourcing certified organic hemp, or growing the hemp organically themselves.
Product Range5/5
CBD Life UK’s product range is impressive and will satiate any one-stop shopper’s hunger for a unified place to purchase all their CBD products.
We’re particularly happy to see a large range of e-liquids for sale, especially when they come in so many different flavors. We’re also happy to see a fairly wide range of strengths for its CBD oils and sprays.
Innovation5/5
CBD Life UK was one of the first CBD companies in the UK to offer products like vape pens, dab extracts, and water soluble CBD extracts. They were also one of the first companies to join the Cannabis Trades Association in Europe.
This company is always one step ahead of the CBD industry in the UK, so they deserve 5 stars for this category.
Safety5/5
CBD Life UK ticks all the boxes for meeting the safety standards we’re looking for. They offer an extensive range of third-party tests and have achieved ISO9001 & HACCP accreditations in the UK — which are a strict set of manufacturing guidelines put in place by the UK.
Not all of these tests are published live on the company website, but you can reach out to the customer service team for a full report on the most recent batch if you want to take a look.
Customer Service5/5
CBD Life UK has a strong customer service team ready to answer any questions you may throw at them. They offer telephone, live chat, and social media direct messaging — all of which we found to be very responsive.
As CBD Life UK’s name suggests, the company was founded in London, UK in 2015. The company began as a small, family-run business after the family experienced the dramatic benefits CBD has to offer first-hand.
At the time, the CBD industry in the UK was inconsistent and unreliable. The founders took it upon themselves to secure a supply chain for CBD products that was consistently high-quality.
As some of the founding members in the CBD space in the UK, several of it’s members sit on the board of the Cannabis Trade Association (CTA).
The CTA UK is a
cannabis-centric trade association made up of UK and European cannabis and
hemp-related companies and organizations “working with all sectors of the hemp
and cannabis industry to promote good practice, provide practical advice and
ensure consumers of legal
cannabis and hemp products have access to top quality information”.
CBD Life UK provides customers with a comprehensive
and well-written blog aiming to cover all
aspects of cannabis-derived products including guides, opinion pieces, and news
articles.
The company also
believes in connecting its vision with athletes (mainly MMA), which is why it set up a sponsored athlete program to form a relationship with
people who inspire the business.
CBD oil is the most common, and widely used form of CBD available. It offers simple, precise doses of CBD, stores for long periods of time, and offers rapid absorption and effects.
The best CBD oils use a full-spectrum or broad-spectrum hemp extract, organically-grown hemp, and offer a multitude of different potencies to choose from.
CBD Life UK’s hemp oil drops are made from a broad-spectrum extract, with 500, 1000, and 2000 mg of CBD per bottle. These oils are completely free from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but still contain a significant number of cannabinoids, as well as a full spectrum of terpenes, alongside CBD.
Each strength
variant is engineered for beginner and seasoned CBD users — we recommend the
highest potency option to get the best value for your money.
These CBD drops are
a water-soluble
alternative to the standard hemp oil drops shown above, which uses
technology to increase the absorption of CBD into your body and boost
bioavailability.
With this product,
you can either add it to a drink or place the desired amount under your tongue
and hold it for 60–90 seconds to allow the CBD to enter your bloodstream via
the small microcapillaries located there.
Unlike the standard hemp oils, the CBD Life Aqua Drops is only available in a 400 mg mid-strength option; though due to the water-soluble technology and the increased bioavailability, this oil is actually quite potent.
2. CBD Sprays
A CBD spray is very similar to a CBD oil — but uses a lighter oil base and a spray nozzle at the top instead of the conventional droppers. Many people find sprays easier to use than drops. Each pump of spray delivers a consistent dose of CBD, which can be sprayed directly into the mouth, or even on the skin.
Comprised of a CO2 extracted hemp extract and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, this Hemp Oil Spray by CBD Life is the full-spectrum equivalent of the Hemp Oil Drops in spray form.
Abundant in CBD and
cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) and offered in 400 and 1000 mg strength sizes, you
don’t have to be a seasoned CBD user to enjoy this product — though we always
recommend the lowest strength for beginners.
Price-wise, both
variants are reasonable for a full-spectrum product at £0.06 and £0.05 per mg
of CBD for the 400 and 1000 mg options, respectively.
3. CBD Capsules
CBD capsules are usually made from CBD oils. The oil is simply filled into gel capsules to provide simpler doses of CBD. Each capsule is standardized to a specific amount of CBD, so there’s no measuring or fussing around with oils necessary to get your ideal dose of CBD.
Described as easy
to swallow and vegan-friendly, these capsules “allow you to get your daily CBD
intake conveniently and on the go”, and “are great for those who do not like
the taste of natural raw CBD hemp extracts but still want to use CBD as a daily
food supplement”.
For a vegan-friendly, full-spectrum extract product with coconut oil, these Hemp Oil Capsules by CBD Life are well priced at £0.09 and £0.07 per mg of CBD for the 300 and 750 mg option, respectively — this is much cheaper than many other UK hemp oil capsules but still retains good value for the money you pay.
4. CBD Vape Pens & E-Liquids
The best CBD vape pens or E-liquids provide a relatively high dose of CBD and produce thick white plumes of cool vapor. They usually come in a variety of different flavors and can be bought with both full-spectrum or CBD isolate hemp extracts.
CBD vape pens have
skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years and for good reason — they’re
an incredibly effective way of consuming CBD.
CBD Life UK has
taken advantage of this trend and delivered two different vape pen strength
options — 100 mg & 200 mg.
The former strength option is available in four different
flavors:
Natural Hemp
Strawberry
Spearmint
Black Ice
The latter strength option is available in two different
flavors:
Grand Daddy Purple
Pineapple Express
Though the outright cost and the price per mg
of CBD is quite steep considering the total mg of CBD contained within both
pens — you’re still paying for the vape pen itself, as well as the charger and
carry case.
Like most CBD companies selling vape pens, CBD Life UK also sells separate CBD refill vape cartridges for when you eventually run out and in desperate need of new ones.
The company
provides you with two types of vape cartridges: eCart and PureCart.
The former has
formulation comprised of propylene glycol(PG)l/vegetable glycerin (VG) carrier
oil alongside natural flavorings, making it an e-liquid product.
The latter has a
formulation containing medium-chain-triglyceride (MCT) oil alongside natural
flavorings, making more akin to a vape oil.
The eCart variant comes in four different flavors:
Natural Hemp
Strawberry
Spearmint
Black Ice
The PureCart comes in two different flavors:
Grand Daddy Purple
Pineapple Express
These refill
cartridges are fairly expensive due to the amount of e-liquid/oil you actually
get. The eCart only provides you with 1 mL of CBD e-liquid and the PurePen only
provides you with 0.5 mL of CBD oil.
We recommend
purchasing a pack of three to get the best value for your money.
Produced with a mix
of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin (mix percentage not disclosed) on
top of a 200 mg CBD isolate, these e-liquids are perfect if you’re in search of
a medium-strength dose of CBD to go with your vape pen.
For the price,
these liquids are extremely reasonable at £0.06 per mg of CBD at an outright
cost of £11.95.
The vape additive,
which can be added to your flavored e-liquid as a 1000 mg CBD booster, comes in
at a slightly higher price of £29.95 (or £0.03 per mg of CBD), which, again, is
very reasonable given the overall CBD content.
5. CBD Concentrates
There are many different types of CBD concentrates available — from resins and shatters to crystals and dabs.
The type of concentrate depends on what ingredients are retained in the final product. All CBD concentrates are very potent and should be used by experienced CBD users only.
CBD Life UK’s CBD
Isolates provide you with a very strong and highly potent dose of CBD — in
fact, with these products you’ll be consuming roughly 99% CBD, which is much
higher than most, if not all CBD products currently on the market.
Available with or without
additional terpenes, this product is suitable for dabbing/vaporizing, as well
as creating your own CBD topical or DIY e-liquid.
In order to
vaporize this product, you’ll need a decent vaporizer/dab rig to be able to
heat up the crystals effectively.
In terms of price
against the potency, this product is very affordable — though if you’re looking
to dab or vaporize it, there’s an extra cost for the vaporizer rigs.
Available in two
different variants – one with terpenes infused and one without – this product
is slightly less potent than its CBD isolate sibling listed above but still
acts as a very strong method of ingesting CBD.
The company
recommends this product to anyone looking to dab or vaporize their CBD — it can
also be used in a DIY e-liquid or added to coconut oil to create a topical.
If you want to add
this product to food and drink, make sure you choose the standard wax/crumble
due to its flavorless and odorless composition — the terpene-infused variant
contains natural flavor and might not taste that great in certain foods and
drinks.
Weirdly, CBD Life UK markets this product as
broad-spectrum but judging by the lab report, they contain THC, which
ultimately makes it a full-spectrum product.
6. CBD Edibles
Edible CBD products are all the rage, and frankly, make for the best gifts. The most common form of a CBD edible is CBD-infused gummies, but you can also find CBD honey, CBD chocolate, CBD coffee, and much more.
If convenience is
what you’re after, CBD Life UK’s gummies are pretty much the easiest way to
incorporate CBD into your daily regimen.
Providing you with
a source of omega-3, as well as additional nutrients, vitamins, and minerals on
top of a full-spectrum CBD hemp extract, this product contains 25 mg of CBD
within a packet (5 mg per individual gummy).
Furthermore, not
only does the company market these gummies for adults, it also markets them for
children as well.
One of the biggest
misconceptions surrounding CBD is it’s unsafe for children, yet this couldn’t
be further from the truth.
CBD is in fact considered
safe for children to consume, though we do recommend you visit a
doctor for advice before administering CBD to your child — we also advise
giving your child a CBD isolate product if you don’t like the idea of them
consuming products with THC.
What Does CBD Life UK Do Well?
1.
Reasonably Priced Hemp Oils and Vape Products
It’s very easy for
CBD companies to put an extortionate markup on its products due to the
astronomical hype surrounding hemp and cannabis-related products — however, CBD
Life UK prices its products very well, especially for its Hemp Oil Drops and
e-liquid products.
2. Large
Range of Flavored CBD E-Liquids
CBD e-liquid are some of the most popular
products currently circulating around the CBD market.
Thankfully, CBD
Life UK offers a pretty large range of flavored CBD e-liquids ranging from
Menthol and Vanilla Custard to Citrus Fruit Blast and Strawberry & Cream —
there’s definitely something for everyone with a penchant for having a sweet
tooth.
3.
Regularly Updated Blog
We’ve said this
before and we’ll continue saying this forever, blog posts, as well as general
educational literature, on a CBD company’s website is absolutely vital.
By providing you
with useful information, news reports, and guides relating to CBD, companies
can flex their knowledge and deliver you crucial updates on CBD regulations and
law changes, as well as any new scientific studies or findings.
CBD Life UK does
well here by posting regular, well-written blog posts.
Safety & Third-Party Testing
We’re really
impressed to see CBD Life UK prioritizing third-party laboratory testing for
all of its products.
Each product is
tested by PhytoVista
Laboratories, a third-party testing lab based in Frome, UK, touted
as the country’s “premier testing facility for CBD and hemp products”.
As promised by the
company, each product contains less than 0.2% THC, which is the legal limit any
CBD product can contain in the United Kingdom.
CBD Life UK Shipping &

completely satisfied with your order, the company asks you to “simply return

unfortunate case your product is broken or faulty, “all claims for damaged
