COLORADO BOTANICALS REVIEW 2022

/

Many companies are now dealing in CBD products, and Colorado Botanicals is one of them. Headquartered in LA, California, the company was founded in 2017 when the founder (whose identity is not disclosed) had his grandmother diagnosed with cancer. The brand aims to help people like the sick member benefit from CBD, especially because Colorado Botanicals aims to be transparent through thorough 3rd party tests and strict manufacturing processes. Here is our full review of the brand.

About the Company

According to the Colorado Botanicals website, the company was birthed in 2017 and has its headquarters in Los Angeles, California. The founder was motivated to start the company in response to his grandmother’s cancer diagnosis. However, the site does not reveal who the founder is or who makes up the team. Besides, the site clearly states that it aims to help people benefit from CBD by following strict manufacturing processes and conducting rigorous 3rd party tests. It sources its hemp from Colorado farms (no wonder the company name) and strips CBD from the hemp’s surface using the safe CO2 extraction method. Its extract consumption methods include softgels, gummies, pet products, tinctures, and topicals. The Help page discusses shipping and returns policies and such topics, while the FAQ section of the website extensively discusses what CBD is, how it is used, and narrows down to the company’s products. Colorado Botanicals conducts potency tests with accurate results (less than 10% variance) and posts the results online, but it does not conduct contaminant tests.

Buying Experience

We loved our buying experience with Colorado Botanicals. The website is easy to navigate, making the buying process rather intuitive and straightforward. The Shop button groups products based on categories, and you only need to select the products you need.

Product Variety

Most CBD brands choose to deal in many products to bring on board many customers who consume different products, and Colorado Botanicals is no exception. Although it offers all products in broad-spectrum formulations without isolates or full-spectrum extracts, it has a decent inventory to boast. It offers soft gelcaps, tinctures, topical products, pet items, and edibles/gummies. Besides, most of these products feature multiple concentrations, taking into account novices who need low concentrations and veterans who thrive by taking strongly concentrated items. Still, some items feature limited flavors.

Quality of Hemp

A good percentage of CBD products is inhalable or ingestible, although they all end up in the system. Consequently, companies that use high-quality hemp are cherished. Colorado Botanicals is one such brand. It uses organic hemp grown organically and sustainably in Colorado farms. Besides, the brand conducts occasional tests for soil, ensuring the parameters in place match what’s needed for high-quality CBD products. Additionally, the brand tests the hemp and ingredients to uphold quality. As that’s not enough, its manufacturing facilities are cGMP-certified, assuring clients of high safety standards throughout the manufacturing process.

Manufacturing Process

Colorado Botanicals uses organic hemp grown in Colorado farms. They practice organic farming and minimize using pesticides, chemicals, and solvents, and also test soils to confirm they are contaminant-free, preventing the absorption of toxins from the air and getting them to the human system. Once the hemp plants mature, they are harvested and processed in cGMP-certified facilities broad-spectrum CBD extracts. The brand uses CO2 extraction, a safe and efficient method in the cannabis space. The resultant extracts are tested for purity and potency by independent 3rd party laboratories, and the results are posted online. It’s commendable that almost all the products have a potency variance less than the 10% acceptable limit, although their contaminant test results are unavailable. Organic farming practices, cGMP certification, and regular soil tests and research result in the high-quality CBD products Colorado Botanicals boast.

What We Don’t Like About the Company

Although we identified many perks about Colorado Botanicals, we came across several kinks the brand needs to iron to attain business milestones. For instance;

  • All products in Colorado Botanicals’ inventory feature broad-spectrum formulations, locking out consumers who only use isolates or full-spectrum formulations
  • The company does not reveal information about who makes up its technical team
  • The product pages on the official website do not list the ingredients featured in the product
  • Sadly, Colorado Botanicals does not test for contaminants

Our Verdict

Colorado Botanicals is one of the biggest CBD-manufacturing brands in the CBD arena. It was founded in 2017 and headquartered in LA due to the founder’s grandmother being diagnosed with cancer. Its mission is to be transparent with its clients by following strict manufacturing processes and availing 3rd party results for all the products in the brand’s inventory. Through its website, Colorado Botanicals states that it aims to help people benefit from CBD products, but it does not disclose the founder or who forms its technical team. Colorado Botanicals, although young, has established a good market reputation through its fairly wide assortment of products, accurate potency results, responsive customer care desk, free shipping for all orders, the 30-day money-back guarantee, and several discounts for various categories of clients, including policemen, firefighters, teachers, professors, military veterans, fast responders, and returning buyers. However, the major blowback is that the brand does not disclose who the founder is or who forms its technical team, nor does it conduct contaminant tests. Improving these areas will undoubtedly help the company scale new heights in the CBD arena.
