An Introduction To Elixinol
Quick Summary
- Focuses specifically on oils and topicals in the UK
- US-founded brand but publicly listed in Australia.
- Products are manufactured in the UK by third-party British Cannabis, the company behind Canabidol and Access CBD.
Elixinol is a USA-based CBD brand made up of a team of experts at the forefront of cannabis research and product formulation.
Elixinol creates primarily “Organically Certified” CBD products infused with the finest natural ingredients from around the globe.
The company highly values purity, sustainability, and transparency, hence using rigorous practices to create cruelty-free, mostly vegan products, with each batch pharmaceutical-grade tested and US Hemp Authority certified.
Along with its high-quality oils and capsules, Elixinol has developed two exceptional lines of skincare and pet products to treat yourself and your furry companions to top-quality CBD products.
Nearly all of Elixinol’s products in the US contain full-spectrum CBD extracted using the superior CO2 extraction. These pure extracts include the full profile of important compounds that work in synergy, creating the so-called “Entourage Effect” that magnifies the overall potency and benefits of the end product. However, it is not clear whether full-spectrum CBD is extended to UK products.
Elixinol also offers a broad-spectrum CBD solution – the Daily Balance Winter Mint Tincture – that contains all important compounds without any traces of THC, allowing anyone to enjoy the benefits of their oil, worry-free.

Overall Impressions
Look and Feel
With so many products spanning so many different areas, it is difficult to identify a coherent look and feel to all of Elixinol’s CBD offering.
However, this fact in and of itself is indicative of one thing – Elixinol has been around the block a few times. What’s more, its expanded in to so many areas and with obvious success it also stands to reason that the company knows the CBD game pretty well, which can only be reassuring for customers.
Flavour
The natural flavours of the CBD oils are just as you’d expect from a full-spectrum extract – with an earthy, terpene-rich taste & aroma. To jazz things up, you can choose from the refreshing minty or citrusy flavours.
We can’t say much about the flavours of the dog treats, but we are sure they are paw lickin’ good.
CBD Delivery
Overall, the products have a fully satisfactory delivery. The tinctures come with a user-friendly pipette and all products are packed in convenient & reliable packages.
Pricing
Elixinol’s standard offerings such as CBD tinctures and capsules are quite comparable and even cheaper than most products of such quality.
In comparison, the skincare products are slightly pricier, although this can be justified by the high-quality natural ingredients they contain and the organic certification they have received.
Elixinol’s pet products are comparable & reasonably priced given their high & specified content of CBD, lacking in many other pet products.
Elixinol’s CBD
Elixinol evidently do not compromise on quality.
From seed to shelf, each aspect of the production and formulation of their products adheres to the highest industry standards.
Elixinol uses mostly organically grown hemp, extracted via supercritical CO2 extraction process, largely preferred for its safety, purity and versatility. They also use clean ethanol extraction when needed in order to comply with strict standards such as USDA Organic. Ethanol extraction is as safe and efficient as CO2.
Nearly all products contain full-spectrum CBD due to the proven efficacy of the Entourage Effect it creates. Alternatively, Elixinol also offers certain broad-spectrum products rich in the important compounds of the plant and completely free of THC.
Elixinol’s CBD oils are enhanced by coconut MCT oil, widely considered as the best carrier oil due to its high bioavailability that increases the efficacy of the CBD oil.
Altogether, Elixinol avoids using toxic chemicals and unnecessary fillers, instead, selecting natural & sustainable solutions. The company is USDA Organic, Australian Certified Organic, and has approval from the US Hemp Authority
These associations should reassure consumers in their purchase decision.
What Do Elixinol’s Test Results Show?
Elixinol conducts a rigorous testing process and all of its certificates of analysis can be found on the Elixinol website.
In fact, Elixinol are reported to even keep the third party labs on thier toes by throwing in “dummy” samples to ensure the validity of the lab results. This is really going the extra mile in an industry not famed for its transparency.
What’s The Verdict?
Elixinol maintain the highest standards in its production and formulation, resulting in top-quality CBD products.
The CBD giants select some of nature’s finest ingredients to enhance the benefits and efficacy of its premium CBD extracts.
The 100% natural & organic skincare range and superior pet products are an excellent way to integrate the power of the hemp plant in the everyday care for yourself and your pet.
