About Charlotte's Web
Charlotte's Web was founded in December 2013 by the seven Stanley brothers and is based in Louisville, Colorado. The brand is named after its first customer, Charlotte Figi. It grows its hemp through contract farms in Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico.
The company trades publicly on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CWEB and describes itself as a Certified B Corporation. Most of its gummies use full spectrum hemp extract, while the Stay Asleep gummies and the newer topicals use CBD isolate, so the line covers both a trace of THC and none at all.
Pros and cons
What we like
- The strength on the Daily Care bottle is CBD, not a total-cannabinoid number, so it compares cleanly across brands.
- The lab reports give results per serving and per container, with the manufacturing and expiration dates on the first page.
- Both THC choices from the same maker: full spectrum gummies, and an isolate cream and balm stick with no THC.
What to know before you buy
- A gummy serving is two gummies. A bottle of sixty gives thirty servings, a month at the label amount.
- Most of the gummies are full spectrum and carry a small amount of THC. Stay Asleep is the THC-free exception. Choose an isolate product if you are drug tested.
- The Daily Recovery Gummies list total cannabinoids, not CBD alone.
- The Soothing Balm Stick and the Full Spectrum Balm add menthol and camphor for a cooling feel. Patch-test them on sensitive skin.
