Why We Support
One of the best things about CBD Essence is that the brand is crafted in small batches by people who really know their stuff when it comes to health and wellness. The brand focuses on creating products that are only the most high-quality, totally pure, and 100-percent natural. Unlike many other companies on the market, CBD Essence also takes charge of every step of the CBD production cycle from the farm to customer’s hands. They also put an emphasis on research and innovation, and are one of the only companies in the CBD market to offer a taffy instead of a gummy because they are easier for the body to absorb.
Highlights
CBD Essence has directed their focus to selling a diverse, interesting product line that stays on top of the latest research and innovation in CBD. From CBD tinctures, topicals, and capsules, to taffies and even CBD for dogs, the company offers a well-rounded CBD-based product line every consumer can enjoy. They also make everything with non-GMO, natural, organic hemp so that customers only get exactly what they need to feel better, and nothing that may potentially be harmful.
In addition, because CBD Essence knows that natural products have shorter lifespans than those made with chemical additives, every product leaves the factory within 24 hours to make sure customers get the freshest products without any unnecessary preservative chemicals. The brand has even gone as far as to lower the prices of all of their products and implement a zero-interest payment plan to be more accessible to more people.

Common Questions
Where is CBD Essence located?
The headquarters for the business is located in Petersburg, Florida.
Is CBD Essence good for you?
Since their products are as natural as possible, without added chemicals or preservatives, CBD Essence is definitely good for you.
Why is CBD Essence’s taffy better than a traditional gummy?
Although gummies are the “norm” when it comes to edible CBD, CBD Essence believes that taffies are much easier for the body to absorb due to the amount of time it takes to chew them. This leads to better, more effective CBD consumption.
Is there any THC in CBD Essence products?
No, all of the products CBD Essence makes have been third-party lab tested to verify they contain less than the 0.3-percent federal legal limit of THC. Each product has their Certificate of Analysis verifying this listed on its product page.

CBD Essence makes sure that it is involved in every part of the CBD production cycle, which starts with the hemp. They only use hemp that comes from sustainable, non-GMO farms that are located on tracts of land considered unspoiled. The hemp can not be grown with any synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
The next step in the production cycle is CBD extraction. CBD Essence researched all of the different types of extractions available to turn hemp into CBD before deciding on CO2 extraction. This was mostly due to the fact that it does not use any chemicals (like ethanol) in the process. While CO2 does end up being more expensive than the other processes out there, the company decided that the safety and effectiveness of the process made it worth the additional cost.
Then the CBD oil goes on to the manufacturing process. The company, through massive amounts of research, came up with a way to protect the CBD in a “bubble” of coconut oil and micro-aligned for quick, easy, under the tongue digestion.
Once the product is complete, it leaves the factory within 24 hours so that customers get the freshest CBD as quickly as possible. If you’re not satisfied with any of their products, CBD Essences offers a 60-day, no questions asked, money-back guarantee.
Lab Results
CBD Essence partners with DB Labs so that all of their products go through a complete, third-party analysis. The Certificate of Analysis is located on every product’s purchase page, and looks for things like foreign matter, solvents, pesticides, microbials, mycotoxins, and heavy metals. It also checks for cannabinoid and terpene profiles.
Product Line
CBD Essence has a diverse product line, full of different avenues their customers can use their CBD. One of the most common uses for CBD is to minimize pain caused by inflammation from medical conditions like arthritis. The company recognizes this, and created a line of topicals specifically for this purpose. Their CBD Pro LifeStyle All Purpose Lotion and their CBD Sport Hot Muscle Rub each come in two-ounce jars that contain 600 mg of full-spectrum CBD with other ingredients meant to relieve pain, including eucalyptus and capsaicin. They provide fast-acting, long-lasting, direct pain relief that smells good and doesn’t leave a greasy residue on your skin.
The company is also very well-known for their CBD edibles, as one of the only companies out there that sells taffies instead of gummies. Their CBD Oil Edible Chewy Taffy come in four different, deliciously unique flavors—mint, chocolate, chocolate mint, and orange mint zest—each with 10 mg per taffy.
New to the brand are two ailment-specific product bundles. The Stress and Anxiety Bundle includes any of their 300 mg Tinctures—now available in peppermint—and a 32-piece bag of Taffies, and the Pain and Inflammation Bundle, which includes a 30-count bottle of their CBD Capsules and either a bottle of the CBD Lotion or Muscle Rub.
CBD Essence also added an extra-strength option of their CBD capsules, packing 1,000 mg in each capsule.
While our own health is important, our priorities often shift to looking out for our pets first. This is why CBD Essence has created two different CBD products specifically for pets. The first option is their dog biscuits, which can be purchased in 10, 25, and 50-biscuit bags. Each dog biscuit has 10 mg of advanced liposomal CBD and is made with healthy ingredients like chicken, turmeric, white cheddar cheese, apples, and carrots. They inspire dog’s appetites, give them confidence, and help them stay calm during storms. CBD Essence also makes a CBD oil just for dogs. It has a natural smokey flavor to make dosing easier and is high-quality, natural, and organic for maximum potency.
