Drop of sunshine review 2021

The Drop of Sunshine is an independently owned top CBD brand established by passionate individuals with a mission to offer the highest quality and premium CBD products. The products are formulated to give consumers more control over their health and wellness. The founders boast an extensive background in hemp-derived products. Having witnessed first-hand how brands take advantage of less-informed consumers, the company set out to create 100% organic, natural, and non-GMO CBD products using US-grown CBD-rich Colorado hemp. The company’s product catalog is pesticide-free and grown under natural outdoor sunshine using gold standard organic farming practices in licensed hemp farmlands in Colorado.

Drop of Sunshine prioritizes consumer health over corporate gain, which is why the company’s customer-facing platforms are full of positive reviewer acclaims. Moreover, its dedication to transparency shines through the manufacturing and product formulation practices. Every product comes with a batch number to ensure consumers access only the highest quality and third-party tested product. The comprehensive and rigorous third-party lab testing practices ensure a worry-free consumer experience. That is, you wouldn’t have to worry about harmful chemical elements and contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, biological microbes, heavy metals, and residual solvents. The company also runs a 14-day money-back satisfaction guarantee for any customer dissatisfied with their purchases. This further highlights the company’s confidence in its product catalog.

In an era where more than half of CBD brands are involved in misinformation and inaccurate label claims (as revealed by the latest Leafreport CBD brand scores), chances are consumers may access low-quality CBD products. That is because most brands don’t care about the quality of products they retail. On the other hand, Drop of Sunshine scored an A in Leafreport’s brand analysis for its product quality and the general dedication to transparency. The company manufactures some of the most potent CBD products in the US marketplace. Their most popular product is the 500 mg Original CBD Tincture formulated using full-spectrum hemp extract and coconut-derived MCT oil to optimize bioavailability.

The company products are made from legal industrial hemp and are accessible in all 50 states. The company provides quality, organic, and natural CBD products to all US consumers and beyond. The founders were key advocates of the CBD’s therapeutic properties. Even before the 2018 passing of the US Farm Bill, the owners were already fostering plant-based alternatives to prescription medicine and pharmaceuticals. Since Drop of Sunshine came to the fore, it has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the US CBD marketplace, a derivative of its product quality, transparency, and dedication to customer service. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at a brief background about Drop of Sunshine and what the company has to offer.

Background: About the Company

Drop of Sunshine CBD was established in 2018 by independent experts who had extensive cannabinoid research under their belt. The founders had long advocated for the therapeutic potential of CBD and the medicinal value of the Cannabis Sativa plant. According to the company, the turning point was the breakthrough of the Farm Bill that made non-prescription medical marijuana legal in the United States. Drop of Sunshine is located in multiple locations, including San Antonio, Texas, Los Angeles, California, and Charlottesville, Virginia. However, its main GMP-certified manufacturing facilities are located in San Antonio, Texas, which doubles as its headquarters.

Drop of Sunshine was inspired by San Antonio’s natural sunshine, sand, ecological dynamism, and the creative vibe associated with the city. The founders sought to offer something unique in the CBD marketplace with intention, creativity, art, love, and with the customers’ best interest at heart. The company hasn’t been around for long, but its meteoric rise is attributed to its specially formulated full-spectrum product line. Today, it has established its name as a top mainstay brand in the US CBD marketplace. The company offers a decent range of product formulations, including CBD oil tinctures, capsules, and topical products for instant relief and skincare. In doing so, Drop of Sunshine sources its CBD-rich hemp from licensed Colorado farmlands, utilizes the gold standard supercritical CO2 extraction, and conducts rigorous independent third-party lab testing as a quality measure.

Extraction using natural carbon dioxide is heralded as the cleanest method in the industry because it guarantees cannabinoid integrity and produces extracts free of contaminants but rich in CBD, natural terpenes, and other active phytonutrients present in the hemp plant. Alongside its premium extraction practices, the company conducts quality-controlled product formulation in its FDA GMP certified San Antonio facility, after which all batches are shipped to lab testers for quality assurance. Their product catalog is full-spectrum, which means consumers can experience the entourage effect of the hemp extract. Besides, their formulations comprise a THC amount of 0.3% or less, with this information easily accessible by customers via the company website.

The company enjoys a stellar reputation for the quality and efficacy of its products, which are mainly focused on chronic pain relief, muscle soreness, skincare, and inflammation relief. According to the company, the aim is to help as many people enjoy proactive lifestyles and control their health and overall wellness. The company ships to all 50 states and offers its popular products fairly affordable prices. Moreover, their intuitive website is quite impressive, plus customers can contact their customer care platform via an email address and telephone number available on their website.

Manufacturing Process

Drop of Sunshine has developed close partnerships with trusted hemp farmers in Colorado, the heartland of the US hemp industry. That, coupled with its industry-standard manufacturing practices, is why the company has had a meteoric rise to become one of the most trusted hemp brands in the US marketplace. The founders are eco-conscious through and through and made sure to partner only with hemp farmlands that adhere to organic and sustainable farming practices.

Once the hemp plant is mature, it is harvested and shipped to Drop of Sunshine’s San Antonio-based manufacturing facility for formulation. This quality-controlled facility utilizes supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain impurity-free and cannabidiol-rich extracts. This method, while expensive, is considered the cleanest and doesn’t leave residual solvents in the hemp extract. Besides, it ensures that all the active, volatile, but beneficial terpenes and phytonutrient integrity is maintained. Further, the company ensures in-house processing, product formulation, and other key manufacturing stages such as packaging and bottling.

The next key stage is third-party testing, where the company utilizes the services of ISO-certified independent testers who verify the quality of their extracts. These laboratories conduct a phyto-forensic analysis of all product batches to ascertain the company’s accuracy, purity, and cannabinoid integrity. All the updated lab reports on purity, potency, and transparency are then posted on the company website for easy access for all customers.

Accuracy

Looking at the company website, it was evident that Drop of Sunshine uses locally grown and sourced Colorado hemp that is cultivated in organically run farms. The company ensures quality control by using in-house product formulation and packaging processes in their GMP-approved San Antonio facility. Overall, all steps from seed to sale are monitored for the quality measure to ensure the customer enjoys the purest and most premium extract the hemp plant has to offer.

Transparency

The current CBD marketplace is plagued with inaccurate label claims and misinformation. According to the latest Leafreport, more brands than ever are engaging in malicious business deals by offering low-quality CBD products leveraging off of less-informed consumers. That is enough reason for consumers to look for such brands. As such, it is vital to consider a brand’s online presence, product quality, purity, and consistency. Also, when it comes to transparency, Drop of Sunshine embodies all that a top CBD brand is. The company utilizes top-notch services of ISO-certified independent lab testers who verify the purity and potency of their products. It is no wonder the brand ranked highly in the Leafreport’s accuracy score in its latest report. Unlike companies with troubling reputations, Drop of Sunshine is yet to be served any FDA letter highlighting contravention of manufacturing practices.

Products Range

Drop of Sunshine offers a broad range of product selection, with their categories having a limited yet decent range of selection. The company offers product formulations ranging from full-spectrum oil tinctures to topicals designed for various health conditions and skincare, respectively. That said, below is an in-depth description of a selection of the company’s product catalog;
