20 Best CBD Oil Drops for 2019 [With Lab Results] - CBD Hacker

Consumers have few reliable sources for information about CBD products and companies. That's where we come in.

CBD oil drops that are made to be taken sublingually, or under the tongue, are among the most popular formats for cannabidiol. But the industry's lack of transparency makes it difficult to find the best CBD oil drops for you, especially if it's your first time shopping for CBD.

We're here to remove the guesswork and trial and error from purchasing CBD oil. Our updated and expanded ranking of the top CBD oils includes the latest information and new, up-and-coming CBD brands.

We evaluated each company's business practices and customer service, sent samples out to a third-party lab for testing, and compared the potency and price for each product.

We also used a blind tasting process to eliminate bias and get our authentic reactions to each product.

Our Methodology

So, what sets this ranking apart from all of the other CBD oil reviews out there?

Well, our rigorous testing process is designed to make our rankings as fair and unbiased as possible. Here's how it works:

We selected a mix of established brands and rising stars to evaluate for this ranking. To do that, we looked at the products CBD users are recommending in online communities, and which brands are generating buzz in the industry. We also included companies that had previously reached out to us, asking to be evaluated.

In the end, we whittled down a starting list of 60 companies, and ended up fully evaluating about 35 different samples. Then, we scored each one in these five main categories:

• Product quality and value
• User experience
• Customer service
• Reputation
• Transparency and accuracy

We want to make sure that our CBD oil reviews are as relevant as possible, for as many different people as possible. That's why we incorporated feedback from our readers into our scoring metrics this year.

Product Quality and Value

As always, the product category carried the greatest weight in our final scores. That's because it included some of the most important questions for consumers:

• Quality: What are the ingredients in this oil? What extraction methods did they use?
• Sourcing: Where does the hemp come from? Was it grown organically to ensure that it is free of pesticides and heavy metals?
• Value: What is the price per milligram of CBD?
• Flavor: Can I stand to take this regularly?

It was important to us to eliminate bias as much as possible, so we used a blind testing process to evaluate the products for taste, aroma, texture, and appearance. Every sample was decanted into an identical container labeled only by number.

We've also updated the way we award points for flavor in this ranking, to account for the increased bitterness that is typical of higher-potency full spectrum products.

User Experience

A company could be offering the best product out there. But if the webstore crashes every time you try to make a purchase, then it doesn't do you any good. That's why we closely evaluated each company's website for performance, design, and accessibility.

We also checked to see how easy it is to find important information, from shipping and return policies to the ingredient lists for each product.

Customer Service

We only want to recommend companies that stand by their customers. If you have a question or a problem with your CBD product, you should be able to count on quick, friendly, and knowledgeable customer care.

In addition to using secret-shopper-style research to see how each company's customer service measured up, we also checked to see how consumer-friendly their policies are. For example, we looked at:

• Shipping policies
• Return policies and satisfaction guarantees
• Assistance programs
• Loyalty or rewards programs

Among the top brands, the quality of their customer service was often the deciding factor that determined a higher score.

Reputation

For the reputation category, we looked at each company's track record. We scoured the web for reviews to see what customers have been saying over time, and to look for any red flags.

We also looked at how each company interacts with customers. Do they respond professionally to critical reviews?

Transparency and accuracy

Finally, in an industry that essentially regulates itself, transparency is massively important to building trust for consumers. For this category, we looked at the types of information that each company was willing to share. We also evaluated how easy it was to access that information.

Most importantly, we sent samples of each product to a third-party lab for CBD and THC potency tests. While some variation is to be expected, no products that tested more than 10 percent below the advertised amount of CBD are included in this ranking.

We compared our lab's analysis to the CBD quantity listed on each product's label. And where companies made their own lab testing public, we looked at how extensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-find their lab results were.
