Leafwize Naturals Review

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

Leafwize Naturals sources its organically-grown hemp from Oregon and Colorado and processes their CBD oil in California. Cannabinoids are extracted using environmentally-friendly Co2-based procedures. But the badge comes with a caveat: One of the company’s products contains polysorbates, which we don’t like to see.

Leafwize Naturals makes a point to focus on products that are, well, natural. (It’s all in the name). And indeed, their range of CBD oil tinctures and vape cartridges seem to hit that mark, including the simple ingredient list of CBD oil, essential oils, and various plant terpenes, which are added in separately by the company and tailored to each product.

We also like that their vape cartridges are free of PEG (polyethylene glycol — which can contain ethylene oxide, a highly noxious chemical) and PG, or propylene glycol, a synthetic additive in many vape cartridges, CBD or otherwise.

But the same can’t be said for the company’s gel caps, which includes a polysorbate emulsifier, a substance natural in itself but one that’s treated with the same noxious ethylene oxide.

Leafwize Naturals also sells edibles, including several types of chocolates and teas, which seem above-board. Its topical offering–a CBD oil-infused salve–does not include an ingredient list, though the company says it’s all-natural.

Buyers can find both isolate and full-spectrum items on the menu, and prices range from $3.49 for a packet of CBD tea to $49 for vape cartridges and smaller tinctures to up to $124 for larger tincture bottles.

Bottom Line – While we applaud Leafwize Naturals’ mission and dedication to natural ingredients, we don’t like that polysorbates make an appearance in the gelcaps. We also wish the company would be more forthcoming about test results for purity and contaminants, which could have earned them a Safety Badge. And it never hurts to show a little charity–or innovation!
