Savage CBD™ Review

Written by Cathy Rozyczko — Edited by Jason Brett on February 9, 2021

Savage CBD knows that life throws curveballs, so they want to provide the world CBD products that restore balance and up quality of life. We love this sentiment; it’s refreshing and honest. All in all, we think Savage CBD is doing a good job covering their bases — their testing protocols are good, they offer veterans discounts, and they have a good range of both isolate and full spectrum CBD products. But we’d like to know more about their extraction process and where they source their hemp. Also, there are a few too many artificial ingredients in the vape products for us to feel totally comfortable.

Savage CBD is an offshoot of Savage Enterprises, a full-fledged vape company. The founders didn’t think the flavors offered by the CBD vape segment were anything to write home about, so they employed expert mixologists to perfect their process and formulas. Today, they offer other CBD products in addition to vape oils with one overriding goal — to help as many people as possible.

Unlike some other CBD vendors we see that were born out of traditional vape companies, Savage CBD does a decent job of covering their bases in the cannabidiol space. Case in point, they provide current third-party results from SC Labs for their bulk CBD oil and isolate and each SKU. While we are awarding them the Safety Badge, it’s a narrow win. Savage CBD has cannabinoid profiles for each SKU (excellent), but their bulk oil is only tested for heavy metals and pesticides. We encourage them to also include tests for residual solvents, microbials, and mycotoxins (fungi) as well.

We aren’t super thrilled with the high amount of artificial ingredients in the Savage CBD product line, but we aren’t surprised considering their specialty is vaping. Their offerings include:

• CBD E-Liquid – The ingredients here include CBD isolate, PG/VG, and artificial and natural flavors. There are CBD vendors out there committed to the natural way who have all-natural vape lines, but the majority still include artificial flavors.
• CBD Gummies – The same goes for CBD gummies — a few vendors are keeping it au naturale, using ingredients like turmeric and beet for coloring. Savage CBD is not one of them; these are loaded with artificial colors and flavors.
• CBD Softgels
• CBD Pet Spray
• Full Spectrum CBD Tinctures – These are perhaps the cleanest product and our favorite of the line, just straight-up full spectrum cannabidiol with MCT oil, hempseed oil, and essential oils and terpenes for flavor.
• CBD Lotion – Not the worst we’ve seen, but this CBD topical contains stearic acid (polysorbate 60), triethanolamine, and phenoxyethanol, ingredients we do not approve of and always call out.

Savage CBD is missing the Quality Badge, since they do not mention the geographic source of their hemp nor their extraction method. Interestingly, they have a blog article that specifically states that consumers should always know the extraction method when purchasing CBD oil. Perhaps this non-disclosure is a simple oversight.

Bottom Line – Savage CBD is doing pretty well for a group based originally in the vape business. We encourage them to disclose the source of their hemp and CBD extraction method to be eligible for the Quality Badge. Also, these guys obviously know what they’re doing when it comes to flavor. We encourage them to experiment more with the wonderful tastes that nature has to offer and jettison some of the artificial stuff.
