CBD products in multiple product forms

CBD is short for cannabidiol, a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in Cannabis sativa. However, a finished CBD product can be made from different types of raw materials and have different technical properties.

For an overall scientific description, you can read the WHO report on cannabidiol.

At the same time, Aromexperten’s collection category includes both oil blends and hemp flowers. Therefore, you should compare product form, ingredients, declared concentration, volume, and available analysis information before choosing an option.

CBD products as oil blends in 10%, 25%, and 50%

For the oil blends, the product specifications state CBD isolate and MCT coconut oil. The products come in 10 ml bottles with declared concentrations of 10%, 25%, and 50%.

In addition, according to the product specifications, the options correspond to a declared total amount of 1000 mg, 2500 mg, and 5000 mg CBD per bottle, respectively. The percentage describes the concentration, but it is not a standalone measure of quality.

Therefore, also compare ingredients, bottle volume, raw material type, and the documentation available for the product.

CBD products in the form of buds and technical hemp flowers

Furthermore, CBD buds is a common commercial term for dried hemp flowers. Unlike a purified CBD isolate, the product consists of botanical plant material with several natural constituents.

Because the plant material and batch can differ, the product’s profile can also vary. Therefore, always read the product-specific information on contents, documentation, storage, and stated intended use.

On each product page, Aromexperten presents its buds for the technical and aromatic intended use stated on that product page. The category text provides no advice on consumption or inhalation.

CBD isolate, broad-spectrum, and full-spectrum

Unlike botanical plant material, a CBD isolate consists mainly of highly purified cannabidiol. Broad-spectrum is commonly used for extracts that contain multiple cannabinoids or other plant compounds, while full-spectrum typically describes a broader botanical extract.

However, not all companies use the terms in the same way. Therefore, the product designation should match the actual cannabinoid profile and available documentation.

In Aromexperten’s published lab report, the laboratory analyzed a CBD isolate. Products consisting of this isolate and MCT coconut oil should therefore be described as isolate-based oil blends, unless separate documentation shows a different raw material profile.

Documentation and certificates of analysis for CBD products

In addition, a certificate of analysis, often called a COA, shows what a laboratory has examined in an identified sample. The document may report cannabinoids, analysis method, analysis date, reporting limits, and the sample’s identity.

Above all, you should check whether the certificate applies to the raw material or the finished product. A certificate for CBD isolate describes the isolate’s cannabinoid profile, but it does not automatically verify the concentration in a finished oil blend.

In the available raw material report, the laboratory states 99.37% CBD in the analyzed isolate sample. The report also states that delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, and total THC are below the laboratory’s quantification limit of 0.05% by weight in this specific raw material sample.

How to compare Aromexperten’s CBD products

First, choose the product form that suits the technical or aromatic intended use the product is intended for. Then compare the product-specific details.

1. Check whether the product is an oil blend, an isolate, or botanical plant material.
2. Read the ingredient list and product description.
3. Compare declared concentration and total amount.
4. Check bottle volume or product weight.
5. See which sample an available certificate of analysis applies to.
6. Check the product’s stated intended use and storage.

Finally, the product name alone doesn’t give the full picture. Exact specifications and relevant documentation make the comparison clearer.
