Bluebird Botanicals is one of the giants in the CBD space. Although the brand has a narrow product line featuring lotions, tinctures, pet items, and capsules, and lacks on vapes, gummies, and edibles, it ticks all the quality boxes every consumer is interested in.

Manufacturing Process
Bluebird Botanicals majorly sources hemp from Colorado farms. Although the farms are not USDA-certified for observing organic practices, the practice of regenerative farming, which is environmentally-friendly, improves soil condition, minimizes waste generation, and reduces the need to use chemicals. It also sources a small percentage of its hemp from Canada, especially the strains used to manufacture its Signature and Classic formulations.
Bluebird Botanicals processes its hemp to manufacture CBD products in cGMP-certified labs, meaning that they uphold high safety standards. Besides, the brand recently received a certification for being glycosulfate-free, and it’s the first in the cannabis space to be recognized as free of this contaminant. It applies a combination of CO2, ethanol, and steam extraction methods to strip CBD oil from the hemp surfaces, resulting in full-spectrum extracts and isolate crystals.
The next step in the manufacturing process involves conducting 3rd party tests as part of quality and control measures that examine the product for purity and THC and CBD potencies. CBD products are not FDA-regulated, and it’s these tests that ensure their safety. All products in Bluebird Botanicals passed CBD potency tests, posing variances less than the 10% acceptable limits. Moreover, the full-spectrum items had THC, which was less than the 0.3% threshold. As if that’s not enough, the items were tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, residues, solvents, and mycotoxins, and they passed the tests.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

- The customer care agents are somewhat sluggish in their response and need to do better
- Not so much is said about the person behind the brand

Our Verdict
Our review for Bluebird Botanicals was positive. The brand is a B corporation and has many certifications and certifications for its environmental and humanitarian activities. Although the company does not offer common products like edibles, gummies, and vapes, it offers high-quality capsules, pet items, tinctures, lotions, and isolates. However, it only features full-spectrum and isolate CBD formulations, making it essential to open a line of broad-spectrum items. Besides, including the information about the founder on the website and adding other questions to the FAQ section will help the brand achieve new milestones in 2022 and beyond.
