A CBD Oil Shopping Guide
Hemp extract and CBD oil remain media darlings in the health and wellness space, namely because of the positive results people are seeing. Scientific research has shown that phytocannabinoids (plant-based cannabinoids) can help support your overall wellbeing. However, while there is now a multitude of different CBD products to choose from, there are significant differences in quality, potency, and purity.

Where Was the Hemp Grown?
One of hemp’s superpowers is its ability to clean the soil by removing toxins and other soil contaminants up through the roots via a process called phytoremediation. This is one of the reasons why only the best hemp extract that has been tested using the highest standards through all phases from growing to extraction to production will produce the highest quality CBD oil products.
When shopping for CBD oil, use this checklist to find the products you can trust from a company with the highest standards:
- Find out if the CBD company grows and extracts their own hemp, or if they just put their label on hemp extracts sourced from another company. If they didn’t grow or extract their own hemp, find out what solvents were used during the extraction process and who performed third-party testing.
- Ask if the hemp is grown in the USA.
- Find out if the manufacturer controls the entire production process.
- Review the Certificate of Analysis to be sure there are no harmful chemicals, pesticides, toxins, heavy metals, etc., particularly if the hemp is grown outside the USA.
Have The CBD Products Been Lab Tested?
Look for certificates of analysis (COA) from the manufacturer of the CBD product. Here you will find detailed information about all of the cannabinoids including THC, and the levels of contaminants such as solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. found in product batches.
At Bee’s Knees CBDs, we oversee the entire production process, starting with soil testing and hand cultivation with multiple internal testing procedures before independent third-party lab testing. Here, you can view a COA for Bees Knee’s CBD oil.
Choose Hemp Extract, Not Hemp Seed Extract
Of note, you want to buy whole hemp extract that contains CBD and other phytocannabinoids found in the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the plant, not hemp seed extract. Hemp seed extract has nutritional benefits, but not the wellness benefits you are looking for from CBD.
What Type Of CBD Should I Choose?
Before buying CBD, it’s important to know the difference between full-spectrum CBD and CBD isolate, because they each have different chemical compositions and benefits. Let’s look at the differences:
Types of CBD
Full-Spectrum CBD:
Full-spectrum hemp extract that contains CBD and all of the other naturally occurring cannabinoids in the hemp plant work together to bring the most benefits by taking advantage of a phenomenon called the “Entourage Effect.” Bees Knees offers a wide range of popular full-spectrum CBD products.
CBD Isolate:
Pure CBD is created by isolating CBD (cannabinol) in hemp extract and removing all of the other cannabinoids, including THC. Bees Knees offers 1000 mg of pure crystal CBD isolate.
THC-Free CBD:
Not all THC-free CBD oil is created the same. Bees Knees offers 1200 mg and 3000 mg THC-Free CBD Oil made with distillate that contains CBD and other cannabinoids without THC.
What Strength of CBD Should I Choose?
Now that you’ve found a trustworthy CBD brand and the type of CBD you want, it’s time to choose the strength of CBD oil that’s right for you. The strength or potency of CBD oil varies with Bee’s Knees CBDs’ products alone containing from 10mg of CBD to 3000mg of CBD per 1ML bottle.
We recommend starting with a lower potency product and increase the potency as needed. Everyone is different, so it may take a bit of time to notice the effects of CBD. We suggest taking your CBD at the same time every day for at least 30 days for the best results. In addition to increasing the potency of your CBD, you can also increase your amount of CBD until you reach the desired results.
