Buying CBD lube, while exciting, comes with a few drawbacks. For one, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to release guidelines for retail and manufacturing businesses in the CBD industry. Without said regulations, companies are left to create a product worth your time. This means for every innovative CBD company there’s another that wants nothing more than your money. It’s up to you to be informed and winnow the good from the bad. Luckily, there are a few key ways to tell a quality product from a dude. They are:
Third-Party Lab Tested
The top-tier CBD companies post their third-party lab test results on their website for their customers to read. These tests will prove how much CBD is in their products and if it contains any THC, pesticides, or other harmful chemicals.
Free of Trace Metals, GMOs
To derive CBD, farmers must press tons of hemp biomass. If the crops were laden with trace metals or grown with the aid of GMO technology, unhealthy doses of these compounds can end up in your body. Check for guarantees that your CBD lube does not have these chemicals.
Contain Organic Ingredients
Before buying a CBD lube, read over the ingredient list. If there’s a chemical you’re not aware of, look it up and see if it’s been connected to any lawsuits or consumer reports. A CBD lube shouldn’t have more than a handful of ingredients. Also, if a company doesn’t post their ingredients, stay clear.
Made using US Grown Hemp (for the USA). Made in Canada (for CBD lube for sale in Canada)
This is another bonafide way to cull the good from the bad. Many countries have gotten into the CBD market, including Russia, China, and Vietnam. The regulations for hemp in such places are not as stringent nor as concerned about consumer safety. We recommend avoiding all CBD products from overseas.
