Vertly Review

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

Vertly is a true believer in the plant-based powers of Mother Earth, and their products prove it. The husband-and-wife-owned company mixes an impressive array of all-natural ingredients with their CBD oil to create a small but potent product line that can help bring more cannabidiol to your achy muscles and chapped lips. Unfortunately, the company falls just short of earning our safety award as the results of the third-party tests they say their products undergo aren’t posted on their site.

Vertly is the brainchild of a husband and wife team in Northern California with backgrounds in both wellness and herbalism—and, not surprisingly, given their location, the cannabis industry.

The combination of interests naturally led the couple down the path to cannabidiol once hemp became federally legal in 2018, and the two take a special focus on how the herbal compound can be mixed into natural skincare products.

At Vertly, those products come in a small and focused line, which includes CBD oil-infused bath salts, cannabidiol “relief” lotion for achy muscles, and CBD oil lip balm, with prices running from $22 to $48. The inventory is made by the couple in small batches at their Northern California processing facility, with the products rounded out by an ensemble of impressively all-natural herbs and oils, a notable nod to the duo’s background knowledge in plant-based alchemy.

Still, we’d like a few more specifics on the background of the cannabidiol itself. Each product page pronounces that the CBD oil used in each item is tested for potency, pesticides, heavy metals, residual solvents, and the presence of terpenes, which is all great to hear—but unfortunately, we’re left taking their word for it, as no official results of those tests are posted.

Bottom Line – Vertly seems to have the goods, we’d just like to see more of the receipts. The company succeeds where many struggle: offering a truly plant-based CBD oil skincare line, which meets our quality badge standards and falls in line with Vertly’s overall philosophy of an all-natural inventory. Still, the company doesn’t post the all-important results to the third-party lab test it claims its products undergo, making it difficult for us to award a safety badge to the company.
