CBD living review 2022

Our review for CBD Living was generally ok, but there is always room for improvement. The brand boasts free shipping, a money-back guarantee, a variety of products, and the use of non-GMO, organic-certified hemp to manufacture its CBD products. It offers all the mainstay CBD products like edibles, topicals, tinctures, softgels, and vapes, and the less common products, including isolates, bath bombs, and many more. Moreover, it uses CO2 extraction to strip CBD oil from the surfaces and further subjects the products to nano-processing, which it claims is beneficial for increasing absorbability. The brand also 3rd party tests its products, but only focuses on THC & CBD potencies, leaving out purity tests for standard contaminants such as heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residues, and solvents. Still, the potency tests show that the products have a wide CBD variance, with some posting as much as 162%, much higher than the 10% acceptable variance limit. Does the brand measure up enough to deserve your cash? This is our 2022 full review for CBD Living, and it discusses much about the brand.

About the Company

CBD Living saw its debut in 2013 and is about a decade old in the CBD arena. Bill Di Segna is the brand’s founder and the person behind the company. There is also an entire team comprising Ph.D. scientists and university professors who work tirelessly hard to advance CBD Living’s product delivery. An entire page crafted ‘Meet The Team’ details who the team members are, and includes their bios, and you can check it out to understand who is behind the impressive products the brand offers. According to the brand’s official website, CBD Living was created to provide premium quality CBD products backed by science. This followed the fact that during the early days after the brand saw its debut, it took time to survey other CBD companies and their products and realized major gaps, which it then committed to filling in.

CBD Living is unique for many reasons, including its nanotechnology that reduced cannabinoids to nanoparticles, making them into more water- and oil-soluble deliverables. According to the brand, nanotechnology ensures the particles are about 90% bioavailable, about 15 times more absorbed than the regular CBD products in the market that have not passed through nano-processing. However, these claims are yet to be confirmed or rejected. Besides, the brand boasts a large inventory of THC-free, full-spectrum, and isolate-based products, taking in all categories of CBD enthusiasts.

The brand’s website is professionally designed, straightforward, and easily navigable. As such, it offers web visitors and clients an easy shopping time. You can shop by benefits (relax, sleep, immunity, etc.) or by products (capsules, vapes, topicals, etc.). Although it has an FAQ link, the page is currently empty. However, the website’s Blog section discusses most concerns people might have about CBD. Compared to other brands of its caliber, CBD Living products are fairly priced, with the average price point being $0.03- $0.4 per mg CBD.

Manufacturing Process

CBD Living offers sufficient information about its team, founding, and extraction method but does not say a thing about its hemp sources. Nonetheless, it mentions that it uses organic, non-GMO hemp to manufacture all the CBD products in its inventory. This is wise, especially because many ethical concerns now surround the genetic modification of organisms and consuming them or products made from them. Still, we look forward to the brand being open about its hemp sources.

CBD Living uses the clean CO2 extraction method to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces, and the technique is appreciated in the CBD industry for its efficiency and safety. It carefully strips off unwanted particles, leaves behind what’s needed, and does not attach solvents to the extracts. What follows is a series of three-stage nano-processing, specifically executed to make the products more soluble. Emulsion nanotechnology ensures broad-spectrum CBD extracts become more water-soluble, self-emulsifying nanotechnology boosts oil solubility, and skin retention nanotechnology makes topical products more soluble on the skin.

The next stage is 3rd party testing, an independent quality and control step CBD brands execute to test its products’ safety, THC & CBD potency, and purity. Purity tests basically focus on standard contaminants, including heavy metals, solvents, residues, microbials, and mycotoxins. CBD Living only partially 3rd party tests its products and focuses on THC and CBD potencies. However, it indicates positions for purity tests in some lab reports, but the spaces are blank, showing the products are not tested for contaminant purity. The results are available on the centralized Test Results section on the website’s bottom.

What We Do Not Like About the Company

We identified the following kinks while reviewing CBD Living;

  • The brand does not come out clear about where it sources its hemp
  • It does not test its products for purity, probably allowing heavy metals, microbials, mycotoxins, residues, and solvents
  • Some products posed as high as 162% CBD variance, which is far more than the 10% acceptable variance limit
  • The claims about nanotechnology increasing product solubility have not been confirmed by studies
  • The $75 free shipping threshold is relatively high and may not be attained by all the clients in the brand’s domain
  • The money-back satisfaction is limited to case-by-case issues

Our Verdict

CBD Living is a popular hemp brand with many products, including gummies, vapes, isolates, topicals, tinctures, softgels, and more. It boasts many strongholds, including 3rd party tests, free shipping for orders worth $75 and above, the money-back guarantee, and nano-processing, which supposedly increases products’ solubility. Nonetheless, it has a few areas to improve to win an even large customer base. The free shipping threshold is relatively high, the FAQ page is empty, it does not test for contaminant purity, and products pose crazily high CBD variances. It is only by straightening these kinks that it will do better in the hemp space.
