Elite Botanicals Review

Written by Tyler Swell — Edited by Cathy Rozyczko on February 9, 2021

Elite Botanicals operates differently from the majority of CBD companies we review, mainly because they supply major brands versus being a brand themselves. They are one of the largest CBD suppliers in the industry that partners with various well-known names like Mary’s Medicinals, The CBD Boutique, and more. Boasting organically grown Colorado hemp that is extracted, distilled, and tested onsite in their state-of-the-art facilities, Elite Botanicals offers consistent quality for those interested in producing their own CBD oil products. They also offer their own product line available for wholesale purchase on their website.

While Elite Botanicals does offer CBD products under their name, one can find their organic hemp-based cannabinoids in familiar brands such as Cheeba Chew, The Alchemist’s Kitchen, Mountain High Suckers, IncrEdibles Edibles, and Mary’s Medicinals.

The reasons so many big-name companies have chosen Elite Botanicals as their source for CBD oil are numerous. As the sister company to Elite Cannabis Enterprises, Elite Botanicals has extensive experience in hemp cultivation and applies their wisdom through various agricultural practices such as closed-loop permaculture and a true living organic cultivation methodology. They possess over a dozen cultivars of low-THC, high-CBD hemp and utilize a variety of innovative extraction techniques to produce their oils, including supercritical CO2. Elite Botanicals also has ongoing breeding projects for the purpose of increasing THCV, CBC, and CBG in their hemp.

Elite Botanicals has a pharmaceutical quality assurance laboratory on their several-thousand-acre property in Colorado that helps them to ensure freedom from contamination in their end products and practices truly non-toxic pest control (that’s OMRI-certified).

Elite’s is the small, wholesale CBD product line curated by Elite Botanicals. The majority of options are skincare related: CBD lotions, lip balm, bath bombs and salts, facial serum, facial scrub, and CBD topical spray. They claim to use zero artificial colors, parabens, or phthalates, but without transparent ingredients lists available, we cannot verify the integrity of these products.

Elite’s also features softgels, CBD drops, and 10:1 CBD: CBG drops. CBG looks like the next big thing in the cannabinoid culture, gaining traction for its purported natural benefits and holistic effects.

We cannot award Elite Botanicals the Safety Badge simply because they do not post any third-party results for contaminants and purity. Since their bread and butter is supplying CBD oil, not selling it online, it may be that they disclose this information privately to their wholesale and retail vendors. Regardless, our standards don’t change.

Bottom Line – Elite Botanicals is a large-scale, innovative supplier of CBD oil to reputable brands in the industry. We don’t know enough about their wholesale proprietary CBD product line due to missing ingredients lists. And even though Elite Botanicals is technically a CBD oil supplier, not a retail operation, we cannot award more than three badges based on our sound methodology.
