Trust and Transparency

How straightforward and trustworthy is this brand?

 3.8/5

Absolute Nature CBD earned 3.8 stars in Trust and Transparency.

Their 60% discount for the assistance program is the most generous that I've seen so far.
I believe that Absolute Nature CBD misrepresents its level of involvement and amount of giving when it comes to charitable organizations. For example, back in February of this year, I had concerns about this and reached out to customer service for clarification. Turns out, they had only donated enough for One Tree Planted to plant around 1,000 trees. Nothing like the millions it appears to be (click here to see a screenshot from the Absolute Nature CBD website). This is especially problematic given that consumers are pointedly encouraged to buy from them because, “you buy, we give”. Similar concerns apply to all of the charitable giving that is noted on the website.
While not a matter of Trust and Transparency, I want to quickly tell you about the product packaging. It stood out to me as being well-designed and high-quality. In particular, anything that comes in the glass jars. It's so nice that I would be proud to give them as gifts. (I bring this up because I see a lot of crummy packaging.)

Ingredients

Are the ingredients natural and free from potential side effects?

 4.6/5

Absolute Nature CBD earned a solid 4.6 stars in Ingredients.

All of the products are made with all-natural and high-quality ingredients.
All products are made with full-spectrum CBD (up to the legal limit of 0.03% THC). This is great because full-spectrum products deliver the most powerful results.
The CBD Oil Drops are USDA-certified organic.
Most products don't contain any unnecessary ingredients, which I really like.
However, I'm not a fan of the CBG products. In nature, the hemp plant produces minor cannabinoids, like CBG, only in teeny quantities. I avoid products like this because more isn't always better.
Absolute Nature CBD carries hemp flower ("bud") for smoking. I don't include this type of product in my reviews because it's nearly impossible to accurately gauge the dose.

Lab Testing

Is there Certificate of Analysis (COA) lab testing for quality and safety?

 2.4/5

Absolute Nature CBD earned 2.4 stars in Lab Testing.

Consumers can verify the lab testing by scanning the QR codes. This is important because so many companies out there forge their "results". You don't have to worry about that with Absolute Nature CBD.
That being said, there are some issues. For example, the 500mg and 1,000mg CBD Oil Drops lab testing are expired. Current testing is only for the hemp extract, but that's not at all the same thing as the final product (what you buy and use).
It’s not possible to determine whether the Fruit Twist Gummies testing is valid. A photo taken by the lab of what was submitted for testing just shows a handful of gummies in a baggie. Unless it’s in branded packaging, there’s no way to know if it was for the correct and final product.
The Relief and Relax Roll-On isn't tested for residual solvents. This is concerning given that in the past, I've seen other Absolute Nature CBD lab results where solvents were detected.

Product Safety

What are the results of the lab testing?

 2.3/5

Absolute Nature CBD earned 2.3 stars in Product Safety.

The product pages list a wide range of different cannabinoids that are supposed to be in each product, but lab testing indicates that this isn’t always accurate. This is a widespread and ongoing problem.
For example, lab testing indicates that the 500mg Oil Drops are missing the advertised CBDa, CBDv, CBN, and CBC.
Another example is the 1,000mg Oil Drops where it's missing CBDa, CBDv, CBN, CBD, and terpenes.
Absolute Nature CBD makes a point about the 30mg Softgel Capsules having accurate dosing. However, the lab results that I reviewed show 69.35mg!
