The 8 Best Full–Spectrum Hemp CBD Oils Of 2024

Penguin grows organic hemp in Oregon, which it then distills into CBD oil using CO2 extraction (often considered one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get hemp). Available in five potencies, this tincture is a great option for those just beginning to explore CBD—but who are still eager to get the most of their oil.

Sustainability & Packaging: Penguin uses organic hemp grown in Oregon for its CBD extraction.

Pros

Cons

Made with hemp flower, the full-spectrum tincture is made with just two ingredients: organic hemp and organic MCT oil. It comes in both a moderate and strong potency—either 25mg of CBD per serving or 50mg of CBD per serving—and makes a great option for those who want something with an ultra clean profile. Just note the oil has an earthy flavor, which may be off-putting to those who don't enjoy a hemp taste. It also comes with a slightly higher price per mg of CBD, but you can save with our discount code, purchasing the more potent formula, or opting into the brand's subscribe & save program.

Sustainability & Packaging: Cornbread Hemp sources all of its organic hemp from local farmers in Kentucky, where the brand is also headquartered. It maintains an official USDA organic certification for products and manufacturing facilities, too.

Transparency: Cornbread Hemp’s CBD oils are tested for pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbial contaminants, and potency via a third-party lab and are only sold if they pass the tests. All COAs are available on the site.

Pros

Cons

The formula consists solely of organic hemp seed oil as the carrier oil and full-spectrum hemp extract for the CBD. The unflavored oil tastes relatively hemp-y. (I’ve tried this NuLeaf Naturals formula before and can attest; I didn’t mind the taste, but I know it could be off-putting for those just starting out with hemp CBD). If you find the flavor of hemp isn’t for you, there are plenty of flavored options out there instead.

For beginners, it’s recommended that you start with half a serving (15mg of CBD) once a day to see how your body reacts and work your way up from there. 

Sustainability & packaging: NuLeaf Naturals has its own organic hemp farms in Colorado, the brand also uses an energy-saving CO2 extraction process to stay as green as possible. All bottles and jars are also curbside recyclable plastic or glass (though this pick is specifically packaged in glass).

Transparency: NuLeaf places a link to each tincture’s COA link on the product page, about halfway down. 

Pros

Cons

Each one-dropper serving of this tincture from CBDistillery has 83mg of hemp CBD, which is considerably more potent than the other doses on this list. If you’re looking for an even higher potency, CBDistillery also has a 5,000mg version of this oil available (which equals to 167mg of hemp CBD). Of course, the downside to a higher-potency product is a higher price tag. 

This ultra potent dosage is definitely not necessary for most folks (although hemp experiences are quite personalized), and certainly not for anyone new to hemp CBD. However if you need a hemp product with a higher strength, this pick delivers.

Sustainability & packaging: CBDistillery claims to use “natural farming” practices, but the brand is not certified organic (and the term is relatively vague). On the upside, the company is U.S. Hemp Authority-certified, which means it’s held to strict regulatory standards through independent third-party auditing. In terms of packaging, most products are packaged in curbside recyclable plastic or glass.  

Transparency: The COA for this tincture is available in the photo carousel on the product description page, as well as in QR code format on the product packaging.

Pros

Cons

The full-spectrum tincture comes in four different strengths (from 15mg to 75mg hemp CBD per serving), as well as several flavors sweetened with organic stevia. (I’ve tried both Tropical Sunrise and Fresh Lime and neither tasted artificial, which is why this brand earns high marks as the best flavored pick.)

Sustainability & packaging: In addition to top-tier quality, Joy Organics stands out from many brands for its sustainability practice. In addition to following organic and regenerative farming practices, the company offsets all carbon emissions generated via shipping by partnering with Carbon Fund. It also uses recyclable materials for packaging. 

Transparency: All of Joy Organics’ COAs are available on the website, as well as instructions on how to find your lot number on your product at home. The label is also very clear when it comes to allergens, stating “Contains tree nuts (coconut).” For those with tree nut allergies, this is essential information.

Pros

Cons

Similar to Joy Organics, the hemp undergoes a CO2 extraction and is then combined with coconut and sunflower seed oil, as well as natural flavors (when chosen). A pre-marked dropper makes it easy to determine the exact amount of hemp CBD oil that you’re consuming with one serving equating to half a dropper. 

Plus, this popular pick is already trusted by more than 1,100 customers, who rave about the taste and quality of the products.

Sustainability & packaging: FABCBD doesn’t make any sweeping gestures around sustainability, but it does source all hemp from non-GMO and pesticide-free organic farms in Colorado. Although the hemp is not certified organic, it does use curbside recyclable packaging. 

Transparency: Another reason we like FABCBD is because they go the extra mile to educate customers about hemp CBD, guiding newcomers toward the proper dosage. Naturally, the COAs are also readily available on the website.

Pros

Cons

In addition to supporting the bioavailability of the hemp cannabinoids, you also won’t find any artificial dyes or chemical flavoring in the vegan and gluten-free formula. 

Another standout of this oil is that it comes with a small syringe versus a traditional dropper, which makes it even easier to get an accurate serving (even compared to a marked dropper). 

Sustainability & packaging: In terms of sustainability, Green Roads does OK. It sources hemp from American farms, but it’s not organic. However it does use CO2 extraction, and all packaging is curbside recyclable.

Transparency: In addition to listing this tincture’s COA on the product page, Green Roads also adds a QR code directly to packaging that can easily be scanned to access test results via the lab sheets portal. Additionally, Green Roads website does a great job of making it easy to shop for specific needs, whether that's full-spectrum vs. broad-spectrum offerings, or choosing the best potency (gentle, moderate, or strong).

Pros

Cons

The kosher pick contains three ingredients: organic full-spectrum hemp extract, organic coconut MCT oil, and organic hemp seed oil. It’s available unflavored or in unconventional options like chocolate mint or strawberry lemonade (leveraging organic natural flavors, again, boasting top-notch ingredient quality). 

Although the brand opts for ethanol-extraction—which may destroy plant waxes with health benefits—the company stands out for its social awareness. Lazarus Naturals offers 60% off to veterans, people on long-term disability, and households that qualify as low-income.

Sustainability & packaging: Lazarus Naturals owns its own hemp farm, unsurprisingly named “Lazarus Farms,” in central Oregon. It uses recycled materials in packaging and aims to be carbon neutral by 2030. The company is also a Certified B Corp, which means it’s held to high business standards for social and environmental impact.
