Trust and Transparency

How straightforward and trustworthy is this brand?

 4.4/5

CBDfx earned 4.4 stars in Trust and Transparency. The score isn't higher mainly due to issues with the return policy not being straightforward and it's a hassle.

The satisfaction guarantee is misleading. There's a badge all over the website that implies there's a generous 60-day return policy. However, the fine print says it's only for unopened and unused products or those with, "a reasonable amount of the unused product".
Unfortunately, despite being one of the largest CBD companies in the country, CBDfx doesn't have any sort of assistance program.

Ingredients

Are the ingredients natural and free from potential side effects?

 4.4/5

CBDfx earned 4.4 stars in Ingredients. While most of the ingredients are natural, there are some issues.

The ingredients are natural except for a few of the topicals.
Although the gummies are brightly colored, it's all-natural (along with the flavoring).
Unfortunately, the majority of products have additional added active ingredients, besides CBD (e.g. mushrooms). Most of what's added is considered to be supplements by the FDA. The FDA cautions that supplements often have the potential for side effects, they may interact with medications or cause problems with certain medical conditions. (These concerns don't apply to topical CBD because it doesn't enter the bloodstream.)
In particular, none of the oil drop tincture products have any less than two additives.
However, the full-spectrum CBD Capsule Softgels and Mixed Berry Gummies don't contain anything unnecessary.
Many products have large amounts of added minor cannabinoids (cannabinoids not CBD) such as CBN and CBG. Please note that naturally occurring minor cannabinoids in the hemp plant are usually very low, or in trace amounts. More isn't always better.
The terpene complex that's added to most products doesn't come from hemp and is sourced from other plants.
The hemp is supposedly organic but without USDA certification, this claim is impossible to verify.
None of the products are USDA-certified organic although it says they're organic on the website.
Although pet CBD isn't part of my review, I'd suggest steering clear of the pet CBD Balm since there's no way to accurately dose this.
I suggest avoiding all CBD vape products, mainly because it's almost impossible to accurately dose.

Lab Testing

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

 3.5/5

CBDfx earned 3.5 stars in Lab Testing. Overall, CBDfx does a great job with lab testing. The main reason the score isn't higher is due to issues with the Mixed Berry Gummies testing.

Consumers can verify the lab testing via QR codes. This is important because so many CBD companies forge lab results. Fortunately, that's not a concern with CBDfx.
They report the lab testing results in the most transparent way possible. Consumers can always tell exactly what's in CBDFx CBD. Two thumbs up!
The lab testing results are up-to-date and easy to find.

Product Safety

What are the results of the lab testing?

 3.8/5

CBDFx earned 3.8 stars in Product Safety.

They do a really good job of keeping contaminants out of products.
The score isn't higher mainly due to the issue with the lab testing for the gummies (without being verifiably valid, I couldn't reference those results for evaluation in this category).
CBDfx claims to use CO2 (natural compressed gas) instead of solvents to extract CBD from the hemp plants. However, lab testing detected a trace amount of the solvent Acentonitrile (see screenshot) and n-Pentane (see screenshot). In another product, Ethanol was detected at 340 (5,000 is the limit to pass)(see screenshot). The one and only way any residual solvent would be detected (even in trace amounts) is if solvents are used as, or as part of, the extraction process.
