Best CBD Company Reviews: Top CBD Oil Brands & Manufacturers [2022]

HempMeds Review

It rarely happens that a CBD brand offers the whole spectrum of CBD-infused goods. Most CBD companies sell a few of the staple products — like CBD oils and capsules, and one or two other categories of generic CBD products.

But only a few brands offer the whole suite of CBD products.

HempMeds, a daughter company of Medical Marijuana Inc. is one of the few companies offering CBD products in just about every category imaginable. We view this as a great thing because you don’t have to bounce between different vendors to purchase what you want. However, such a broad range of CBD products raises some doubts as to whether all of them are made with the same high-quality standards.

In this review, we take a closer look at HempMeds and their CBD selection — highlighting both their strengths and weaknesses.

Mission/Charity 5/5

HempMeds has a clear mission of making CBD oil accessible to as many people as possible. We believe the companies claims given the amazing range of different CBD products offered in all budget ranges.

The company also offers a 15% discount on all purchases and free shipping for veterans.

And finally, HempMeds supports ECHO — an independent nonprofit and charitable organization that supplies open-ended collaboration between cannabis patients and doctors. ECHO financially support families facing extenuating circumstances who can’t afford CBD oil.

Hemp Source 4/5

HempMeds uses organic, non-GMO hemp plants imported from European farmers who are members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The hemp the company uses is certified by the EU Commission of the Natural Agricultural Ministries and are also lab-tested both in Europe and the US once they make it to one of HempMeds’ partnering laboratories.

Product Range 5/5

The company offers virtually all forms of CBD products. From CBD oil drops and tinctures to vapes, and from edibles to CBD for pets — HempMeds has got you covered.

Innovation 4/5

HempMeds doesn’t offer any innovative products unless you consider Real Scientific Hemp Oil as innovative, which is just highly-concentrated full-spectrum CBD oil. They do, however, use supercritical CO2 extraction for making their CBD products, which is a good indicator of their potency and purity.

Safety 4/5

HempMeds provides detailed information on the use and safety of its products. The company has an extensive blog section where they educate customers about the safety of CBD and cannabis.

The company also uses a triple testing process on some (but not all) of its products. This is designed to demolish any doubt that the company is using sub-par hemp extracts to make its products.

Customer Service 4/5

HempMeds has clear shipping & return policies listed on its website. Their customer service has a relatively fast response time for any queries sent through their contact form. If you need immediate assistance from their customer service staff, you can call them via phone.

We didn’t find any issues during our interaction with the customer service staff at HempMeds, Dixie Botanicals, and Real Scientific.

The only downside in this category is the short (14 day) return policy. 

HempMeds Company Review

About the Company: HempMeds

HempMeds is one of the first mainstream distributors and retailers of CBD oil made from hemp, selling an impressive range of different CBD extracts made from high-quality hemp — although some of its products lack third-party lab reports to prove the quality and potency.

The company prides itself on having over 100,000 loyal customers to date — which for some people speaks for itself.

HempMeds paved the way for many other CBD businesses and continues to maintain the standards it set at the beginning of their venture in the hemp industry. They’re a powerhouse in the industry — and for good reason.

As a subsidiary of Medical Marijuana Inc., the company not only produces its own CBD oil, it’s also the owner of several daughter brands itself — including Real Scientific Hemp Oil, Cibdex, Cibaderm, and Dixie Botanicals.

HempMeds sells everything but the kitchen sink — the online store offers oil drops, topicals, tinctures, edibles, concentrates, isolates, vapes, and hemp body care products. Prices range from $19 all the way up to $1546 — meaning that every customer will find something suitable for their budget.

The company broadly discusses its extensive Triple Lab Testing system. Surprisingly, despite its extensive testing protocol, the company publicly lists Certificates of Analysis for every product on the site.

Now, let’s talk about the company’s commitment to the cannabis community.

Where Does HempMeds Source Its Hemp?

While more and more US companies are turning to domestic farmers for high-quality hemp plants, HempMeds still gets their hemp from dedicated European growers.

European regions are known to have some of the best conditions for growing hemp, so it’s no wonder HempMeds wants to stick to their long-time partners. Not only that, but the farms supplying their hemp work under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD promotes good manufacturing and trade practices among member countries.

HempMeds prides itself in choosing only non-GMO hemp cultivars. Its plants are grown without using herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers, and the company claims to test them for the cannabinoid content and purity levels both in Europe and the USA. However, not all lab results are available on its website.

It would be easier to answer what products they don’t sell.

HempMeds offers everything from full-spectrum hemp oils to CBD isolates in every form possible — including tinctures, capsules, vapes, topical products, and hemp-based cosmetics.

Here’s the breakdown of their entire assortment:

1. Skincare

The HempMeds Personal Care line has been created for people seeking the moisturizing and anti-aging properties of hemp, and the added benefit of full-spectrum CBD. The collection consists of hemp-based cosmetics as well as CBD topicals for problematic skin.

A) HempMeds Revitalizing Body Wash

HempMeds Revitalizing Body Wash is a sulfate-free cleanser that combines organic hemp oil with a full-spectrum CBD extract. This product is high in Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids aimed at regenerating and nourishing dry, damaged skin.

The product’s formula includes only natural ingredients; the body wash is free of sulfates, parabens, or artificial dyes. Despite the simple ingredients, it’s claimed to be one of the most gentle foaming CBD cleansers on the market.

To use the body wash, simply massage it over wet skin. Once you give your body a thorough lather, rinse it and complete your routine with a body lotion.

Unfortunately, HempMeds doesn’t provide any information about this product’s CBD potency.

B) HempMeds Hydrating & Soothing Body Lotion

The body lotion from HempMeds promises to pack a healthy and natural punch with its moisturizing and regenerating effects.

This CBD-infused body lotion is formulated with green tea, CBD oil, almond oil, and jojoba oil. It’s rich in B-complex vitamins, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and other nutrients. Unfortunately, the company doesn’t provide any information regarding the CBD content of this lotion.

C) HempMeds Hydrating & Purifying Shampoo

The Purifying Shampoo is aimed at providing a gentle cleansing experience — leaving users with hydrated healthy hair.

The shampoo is color-safe, can be used daily, and suits all hair types. It’s been formulated without parabens, sulfates, and artificial dyes, which makes it stand out from the numerous mediocre commercial shampoos on the market.

The formula in HempMeds Hydrating & Purifying Shampoo combines CBD oil with argan oil and goji berry extracts — all of which have strong nourishing, hydrating, and skin-protective properties.

HempMeds doesn’t list the CBD content of its shampoo anywhere on the website — an unfortunate theme the company seems to have with its topical lineup.

D) HempMeds Nourishing Conditioner

Advertised as rich and luxurious, HempMeds Nourishing Conditioner promises to leave your hair and scalp feeling restored and moisturized.

While this sounds a bit stretched, the conditioner is actually comprised of several high-quality organic ingredients such as CBD hemp oil, argan oil, and a goji berry extract. All of them are known to have strong antioxidant and hair-nourishing effects.

The CBD content isn’t listed on this product.

This conditioner is appropriate for all types of hair. You can use it along with HempMeds Purifying Shampoo to strengthen hair and replenish their moisture.

E) HempMeds Defined Day & Night Serum

The Day & Night Serum from HempMeds is a CBD-infused moisturizer and protective agent against free radical and oxidative damage.

The formula includes CBD hemp oil, licorice root, green tea, and dragon’s blood extracts combined with hyaluronic acid. This product is targeted at reducing wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones.

Like the company’s other topicals, the CBD content isn’t provided for this product.

F) HempMeds Defined Cleanser

HempMeds Defined Cleanser combines organic hemp oil with full-spectrum CBD, and “an ancient blend of Bi-Bong™ herbs”. It’s also one of the few products from the Personal Body Care collection with its CBD content listed on the website.

HempMeds recommends their cleanser to customers who want to remove dirt, makeup, and dead skin cells from their faces without harming the skin.

G) HempMeds Defined Toner

The Defined Toner is a natural daily skincare product used to keep the skin feeling youthful and energized. It’s appropriate for both men and women.

As HempMeds claims, their male customers often use their toner as an alcohol-free aftershave.

The toner consists only of all-natural constituents, such as CBD hemp oil, goji berries, ginseng, angelica, and Schisandra fruits.

HempMeds recommends using the product to prevent breakouts and blackheads.

H) HempMeds Defined Anti-Aging Exfoliant

The Defined Anti-Aging Exfoliant has been designed to reduce the signs of aging and help the skin achieve a bright, even tone.

The all-natural formula of this exfoliant is aimed at lifting embedded dirt and oil from the skin while giving it the moisture it needs thanks to the presence of skin-healthy oils.

This product doesn’t have the CBD content listed.

2. Topicals

$39.00
HempMeds

3.17 / 5

Total CBD: 50 mg

Cost per mg CBD: $0.78
Extract Type: Full-spectrum

This product comes from Dixie Botanicals, one of HempMeds’ daughter brands specializing in CBD topicals. The salvation balm contains natural beeswax, camphor oil, cedarwood and lavender oils, and a blend of therapeutic herbs combined with 50 mg of CBD.

HempMeds recommends applying their Salvation Balm to tired muscles and joints, damaged hair, and dry skin for natural relief. The product has been formulated without parabens and artificial dyes.

The salvation balm is available in 28-g jars and contains 1.3 mg/mL CBD. Given the low potency of CBD, the product calls for a liberal application on the affected area to provide relief.

3. Concentrates & Waxes

The “Pure CBD Oil” category actually refers to their Real Scientific Hemp Oil, one of HempMeds’ staple products. This is HempMeds CBD concentrates and wax lineup.

Make no mistake, “pure” is not an equivalent of “isolate”; it describes the purity level of their highly concentrated full-spectrum extracts.

$69.00 – $279.00

HempMeds Real Scientific Hemp Oil 3 – 10 mL

  • Green (300 mg)
  • Blue (510 mg)
  • Gold (720 mg)

Each of them comes in 3 g or 10 g tubes.

On top of being naturally rich in CBD, the RSHO range contains an abundance of Vitamin E, carotenoids, minerals, essential fatty acids, terpenes, and other trace cannabinoids.

These products are intended for sublingual application.

A) Real Scientific Hemp Oil Green Label

This product is as close to the original hemp plant as you can get in CBD hemp supplements. It contains full-spectrum CBD from hemp plants and is contained in its raw form to provide the user with a range of naturally occurring phytonutrients including essential fatty acids and chlorophyll.

Cost & Potency Breakdown of Real Scientific Oil Green Label

The Blue RSHO contains decarboxylated oil in its unfiltered form, retaining the raw hemp’s nutritional value (aside from the plant matter) while maximizing CBD content.

Cost & Potency Breakdown of Real Scientific Oil Blue Label

Product Image Product Name Total mg of CBD Price Per Bottle Total mL CBD Per mL Price Per mg CBD
Real Scientific Oil Blue Label — 3 g 510 mg $99.00 3 mL 170 mg/mL $0.19

The oil has been filtered to remove any chlorophyll and excess plant matter for a better taste and smoother experience.

Cost & Potency Breakdown of Real Scientific Oil Gold Label

Total CBD: 3800 mg
Potency : 380 mg/mL
Cost per mg CBD: $0.10
Extract Type: Full-spectrum

RSHO Special Blend contains exceptionally high levels of CBD (38%) and is slightly lighter in color and viscosity than the Blue Label Oil, but not filtered like the Gold Label formula.

This product caters to those seeking potent CBD extracts without sacrificing the naturally occurring phytonutrients from hemp.

E) Real Scientific Max Strength

$429.00
HempMeds

HempMeds Real Scientific Max Strength 10 mL

3.17 / 5

Total CBD: 4500 mg

This is the most potent product made by HempMeds and one of the most potent CBD oils available on the market, offering 45% active CBD per application.

This means that a 10 g tube contains 4500 mg of cannabidiol, giving you 225 mg per 0.5 mL serving.

The product combines a blend of RSHO Green and Gold Oils, allowing the user to benefit from the full spectrum of cannabinoids and the nourishing compounds from hemp such as omega fatty acids, essential oils, terpenes, and chlorophyll.

How to Use RSHO Products

The RSHO CBD range is intended for oral or sublingual use. Each bottle comes with a convenient oral applicator for precise dosing. To use the RSHO, press the applicator and place the desired amount of oil under your tongue. Hold it there for about 60 seconds, and then swallow.

4. Vape Juices & Cartridges

HempMeds has a modest selection of flavored CBD vape juices sold under their daughter brand, Dixie Botanicals.

These products are based on purified CBD isolate. They’ve been designed for people looking solely for the benefits of cannabidiol instead of the full spectrum of cannabinoids.  

The company also sells pre-filled, disposable cartridges you can easily attach to the battery of nearly every liquid-compatible vaporizer on the market. These cartridges consist of CBD distillate and are flavored with cannabis terpenes, adding a slightly sweet, citrus and pine taste.

A) Dixie Botanicals CBD Vape Cartridge

HempMeds sells its isolate-based CBD e-liquids in only one potency. Each bottle of the liquid comes with 1000 mg of 99% pure cannabidiol.

Dixie Botanicals Vape Liquid is available in 30 mL bottles. This product is sold in three flavor options:

  1. Sour Watermelon
  2. Vanilla Caramel
  3. Blackberry Lemonade

You can use these vape liquids with nearly every liquid-compatible device. They have a dropper attached on top, which makes it easy to fill cartridges and liquid tanks.

5. Tinctures & Oils

At HempMeds, you can buy a variety of CBD tinctures and oil drops, available both as full-spectrum CBD and isolate.

They’re sold in several different strengths, sizes, and flavors. This provides CBD users with plenty of opportunities to personalize their experience with cannabidiol.

A) RSHO Tinctures

Bottle of Hempmends rsho green label (500 mg)
$59.00 – $119.00
HempMeds

HempMeds Real Scientific Hemp Oil Tincture 2 – 4 oz

2.67 / 5

Total CBD: 500 – 1000 mg
Potency : 8.33 mg/mL
Cost per mg CBD: $0.12 – $0.16
Extract Type: Full-spectrum
THC Content : 0%

RSHO Tinctures are available in three versions:

  1. Green Label — unfiltered, raw (non-decarboxylated) CBD oil
  2. Blue Label — Unfiltered & decarboxylated CBD oil
  3. Gold Label — Filtered & decarboxylated oil

The green label is a raw, unfiltered CBD extract. Being the least processed form of cannabidiol, not only does the Green tincture pack a decent amount of CBD, but it also contains a wide range of terpenes, Vitamin E, carotenoids, minerals, essential fatty acids, chlorophylls, and trace cannabinoids from hemp.

The Blue label is infused only with decarboxylated CBD, which means there’s no CBDA inside. However, the oil is unfiltered, so you also receive the aforementioned botanicals from hemp in the package.

The Gold label is both decarboxylated and filtered, so the oil has a cleaner and smoother taste. This is a good option for those who can’t stand the distinct, earthy flavor of unfiltered oil.

All tinctures are infused in coconut oil and sustainably sourced palm oil.

B) RSHO Liquid Hemp Oil

RSHO Liquid Hemp Oil is similar to the RSHO tinctures, save for the fact it has been extracted without the use of alcohol.

These are full-spectrum CO2 extracts sold in three versions:

  1. Green Label — unfiltered, raw (non-decarboxylated) CBD oil
  2. Blue Label — Unfiltered & decarboxylated CBD oil
  3. Gold Label — Filtered & decarboxylated oil

Each version of the RSHO Liquid Hemp Oil comes in a 120 mL bottle and contains 1000 mg of full-spectrum CBD in raw, unfiltered, or clean forms.

HempMeds RSHO-X Liquid Hemp Oil 60 – 120 mL

Cost per mg CBD: $0.05 – $0.12
Extract Type: Isolate
THC Content: 0%

RSHO-X Hemp Oil contains only pure isolated CBD, which means there are no other cannabinoids, including THC.

This product is for people who want to benefit from CBD oil but don’t want any traces of THC in their supplements. This is perfect if ordering CBD oils to Europe where there are strict no-THC stipulations on hemp products in certain countries.

The isolate powder has been infused into medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil for the added benefits of healthy fatty acids and increased bioavailability.

You can use RSHO tinctures and liquid hemp oil sublingually (under the tongue) or add them to your favorite foods and beverages.

6. Capsules

HempMeds offers two types of capsules from their two daughter brands: Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) and Dixie Botanicals. Each contains 25mg per capsule but they are different in terms of the overall formula.

A) Real Scientific Hemp Oil CBD Capsules

$99.00 – $119.00
HempMeds

HempMeds RSHO CBD Capsules 30 Count

3.67 / 5

Total CBD: 750 mg
Potency : 25 mg/mL
Cost per mg CBD: $0.13 – $0.16
Extract Type: Full-spectrum
THC Content: <0.03

RSHO capsules are available in raw, unfiltered, and “clean” versions, just like their CBD tinctures and hemp oil. Each capsule has been infused with 25 mg of CBD and formulated with 200 mg of calcium and 200 mg of HempMeds’ blend of powdered turmeric root and white willow bark.

HempMeds recommends taking one capsule 1-2 times daily.

B) Dixie Botanicals CBD Gel Capsules

Dixie Botanicals offers soft-gel capsules that are easier to swallow than their RSHO counterparts and contain the full-spectrum CBD (25 mg per capsule) along with MCT oil derived from coconut oil for better absorption.

Cost & Potency Breakdown of Dixie Botanicals CBD Oil Capsules
Product Image Product Name Total mg of  CBD Price Per Bottle Total mL CBD Per mL Price Per mg CBD

HempMeds

HempMeds RSHO CBD Isolate Powder 1 – 12 g

Total CBD: 990 – 11,880 mg
Potency : 99%
Cost per mg CBD: $0.04 – $0.05
Extract Type: Isolate
THC Content: 0.0%

The CBD isolate powder from HempMeds is extracted from non-GMO hemp using supercritical CO2 extraction. After extraction, the CBD hemp oil is purified to remove the plant material along with excess waxes, resulting in pure, CBD isolate powder.

The isolate is completely THC-free and designed for CBD users interested solely in the benefits of cannabidiol. The isolate is also available for bulk purchases. You can buy it as a 6 pack ($279.00) or 12 pack ($439.00).

8. Edibles

A) Dixie Botanicals KICKS

$49.99
HempMeds

HempMeds Dixie Botanicals KICKS 30 Chews

3.17 / 5

Total CBD: 140 – 150 mg
Potency : 4 – 5 mg/chew
Cost per mg CBD: $0.33 – $0.43
Extract Type: Full-spectrum

HempMeds has created isolate-based, flavored CBD chews that combine full-spectrum cannabidiol with vitamin D3 or caffeine depending on the formula variation.

The CBD content of these edibles isn’t even listed on the website. We did some digging in their Certificates of Analysis and it turned out each version of Dixie Botanicals KICKS contains around 4–5 mg of CBD per chew.

The Mango Citrus and Sour Apple flavors are infused with 60 mcg of Vitamin D3, whereas the Chocolate option packs 100 mg of caffeine per chew. This should be enough to provide the user with sustainable energy without the crash of excess calories from sugary energy drinks.

9. CBD Pet Supplements

A) Phyto Animal Health Vitality CBD Oil

$34.00 – $85.00
HempMeds

HempMeds Phyto Animal Health Vitality CBD Oil 30 – 60 mL

3.17 / 5

Extract Type: Full-spectrum

HempMeds developed a line of CBD products designed specifically for our four-legged friends. Their Vitality CBD oil contains full-spectrum CBD infused in MCT oil derived from organic coconut oil.

This product contains less than 0.3% THC, so it has no psychoactive effects on pets.

HempMeds recommends a dose of 1 to 5 mg per kg — unless your veterinarian suggests otherwise.

B) Phyto Health Animal Vitality-X CBD Oil

$90.00 – $174.00
HempMeds

HempMeds Phyto Health Animal Vitality-X CBD Oil 30 – 120 mL

3.17 / 5

Yet another HempMeds CBD oil product for pets, this time 100% THC-free. Instead, this oil offers an abundance of CBD and other trace cannabinoids packed in organic coconut oil  chock-full of heart-healthy omega fatty acids.

Each 1.5 mL serving measures to about a dropper and a half, and carries 25 mg of CBD.

C) HempBone Bacon Apple Donuts

$34.99
HempMeds

HempMeds HempBone Bacon Apple Donuts 5 oz

3.17 / 5

Total CBD: 160 mg
Potency: 4 mg/treat
Cost per mg: $0.22
Flavor: Apple Bacon
Extract Type: Full-spectrum
THC Content: Not Listed

If your dog or cat doesn’t like the earthy taste of CBD oil but responds positively to CBD, you may want to treat them with HempBone Bacon Apple Donuts.

These are tasty CBD-infused chewy pet treats — even the editor’s picky pug, Bruschetta, loves them.

Appropriate for every breed, each treat provides 4 mg of CBD for daily use.

HempMeds recommends a dosage of 1 – 4 chews per day, depending on the pet’s weight.

What Does HempMeds Do Well?

1. Large Product Selection

What we like the most about HempMeds is the feeling of browsing through a marketplace of CBD products, with all their daughter brands and CBD goods sold in one place.

HempMeds offers all the essentials — including tinctures, oil drops, capsules, skincare products, vape liquids, CBD pet treats, and more.

2. High-Quality Hemp Source

HempMeds uses only non-GMO, pesticide-free hemp for its products. The company gets its hemp plants from certified European farms working under the OECD program.

3. Exceptionally Potent Products

Some of the HempMeds CBD oils pack as much as 45% CBD, which is insanely strong compared to other manufacturers. The company uses supercritical CO2 extraction and selective hemp cultivars with naturally high concentrations of cannabidiol.

4. Triple Lab Testing

HempMeds is very meticulous about testing their products — some would even say they’re obsessed over it. But when it comes to the quality of CBD, nothing can prove it better than thorough lab-testing.

In the first stage of processing, the hemp is tested by HempMeds’ partnering growers in Europe periodically throughout the growing process and then again after harvest.

Afterward, HempMeds tests their extracted oil in the US at an ISO-certified testing lab to check for the potency of CBD and verify the safety of their extracts.

Finally, the CBD oil is sent to HempMeds’ California-based formulators, who are certified in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for food supplements. Once the oil is crafted into different CBD products, it’s tested once again for exact cannabinoid content and given a final safety check.

Where Could HempMeds Improve?

1. Not Every Batch of Their Products Is Lab-Tested

Either that, or for some reason, HempMeds has problems with publishing Certificates of Analysis for some of their goods.

Currently, lab testing reports aren’t available for their isolates, body care line, or vape juices.

While we’re not going to argue with the influence HempMeds has had on the CBD industry, transparency is paramount for us — and this is where the company falls short at some points.

2. There’s Much Confusion Around HempMeds’ Many Daughter Brands

HempMeds owns multiple brands, such as Real Scientific Hemp Oil, Cibaderm, Beauty Defined, Animal Phyto Health, and Dixie Botanicals.

However, some of these brands are either scattered around different third-party websites (Cibaderm), or they don’t have valid Certificates of Analysis (Beauty Defined) to prove their cannabinoid content and purity.

This raises doubts about whether HempMeds ensures the same quality standards for all their products.

Final Verdict: HempMeds Is a Great Company With Many Stellar Products — With One Caveat

On the whole, HempMeds is a CBD company you can trust. They have everything it takes to be considered one of the best CBD brands in the industry.

An impressive selection of products, a wide range of prices which makes CBD oil affordable for different budgets, a clear and noble mission, and almost pristine transparency — that’s what HempMeds looks like at first glance.

Most of the claims made by the company are backed by extensive third-party lab testing, so potential customers can rest assured they receive high-quality CBD oil sourced from organic hemp and extracted with sustainable methods.

The biggest potential red flag for HempMeds is actually that they sell too many products under far too many different labels. As much as we understand their drive for dominating the CBD market and retaining their “Trailblazer” title, we’ve seen much inconsistency in some of their collections.

For example, their Body Care line and vape juices don’t carry Certificates of Analysis, and their Cibaderm collection isn’t even available on their website — save for the Cibaderm conditioner.

With all that aside, HempMeds remains a strong option for CBD products if you live in the Americas.
