10%, 20%, or 30%? Understanding CBD concentrations helps you choose the right product for your needs.

CBD Strength Guide: How to Choose the Right Concentration

Understanding CBD Concentrations

One of the most common questions we hear is: "What strength should I choose?" Let's break down CBD concentrations so you can make an informed decision.

What Do CBD Percentages Mean?

When we say a CBD oil is "10%," that means:

  • 10% of the bottle's content is CBD
  • A 10ml bottle contains 1000mg of CBD

Here's how our range breaks down:

Which Concentration is Right for You?

10% (1000mg):

  • A good starting point if you're new to CBD products
  • Lower concentration per application
20% (2000mg):
  • A mid-range option
  • Higher concentration per application
30% (3000mg):
  • Our highest concentration
  • Maximum CBD content per bottle
  • Best value per mg of CBD

Factors to Consider

When choosing a concentration, think about:

Experience: If you're new to CBD products, starting with a lower concentration lets you get familiar with the product Preference: Some people prefer a higher concentration, others a lower one Budget: Higher concentrations often offer better value per mg of CBD

Cost Comparison

While higher-strength products cost more upfront, they often provide better value:

  • More CBD per bottle
  • Lower cost per mg of CBD

Think of it like buying in bulk — higher investment, better long-term value.

Our CBD Oil Range

Full Spectrum CBD Oils are available in three concentrations:

  • New to CBD? Start with Full Spectrum 10% (1000mg)
  • Looking for more? Try Full Spectrum 20% (2000mg)
  • Maximum concentration? Consider Full Spectrum 30% (3000mg)
Broad Spectrum CBD Oils offer a refined profile with minimal THC:
  • Angelica Balance Broad Spectrum Oil (3000mg) — enriched with Angelica botanicals
  • Bilberry Renewal Broad Spectrum Oil (3000mg) — enriched with Arctic Bilberry
  • Broad Spectrum CBD Oil 33% (3300mg) — our highest-concentration broad spectrum option

A Note on Topical Products

Our topical products — Glacial Relief Cream and Volcanic Revival Scrub — contain CBD in different concentrations suited to their specific formulations. Because topicals are applied to the skin rather than taken as drops, their CBD concentration figures are not directly comparable to those of oils. Check each product page for the exact CBD content per container.

All our products are third-party lab tested and come with certificates of analysis.
