About The Brand
As the benefits of using CBD oil spread across the globe, without a doubt, more and more people are starting to look for products containing the ingredient. One of these places with an exponential growth in the interest of CBD is the United Kingdom, and is a need Aura CBD has catered to well.
Established around 2013, the brand was one of the first to make products available to the UK market, after the founder, Aura Lakshmi discovered its miraculous benefits and became an advocate for it.
The company is committed to supplying the highest quality extracts to consumers that will help support health and wellbeing, lending support to Tiny Shelter, an animal shelter located in Portugal to extend the warmth and love the company has received to those that don’t have a voice.
CBD Quality
Being out of the USA, you might expect that Aura CBD might be subject to less rigorous product guidelines, but make no mistake, their overall CBD quality rivals many of the most well-respected international brands.
Their product quality can be attributed to the following:
Products
Aura CBD has a modest sized product catalog, but appears to be increasing their offerings since the edibles category has only recently emerged. Their current range includes:
CBD Oil Tinctures
The most popular CBD based dosage form on the planet, Aura CBD offers several different CBD oils. They offer both the raw and decarboxylated oils for sale, but you may notice oils states in percentage strengths instead of basic milligrams.
To make this simple, it is a good idea to understand what it means. A strength of 10% means that you can find 10% CBD per ml (or 1000 mg)
So, 10% of 1000 mg= 100 mg. In a 10 ml bottle, you would have 100x 10=1000mg.
So don’t be confused by the range of oils which start at 2.5%, and go up to 30%. Prices start from £17.99 and go up to £249.99 (for 4 x 30% bottles).
CBD Paste
A rather uncommon product, Aura CBD’s paste is meant to be used orally, by placing under the tongue and then subsequently swallowing. The full spectrum paste is also imbued with all naturally occurring phytochemicals, including terpenes and flavonoids.
The CBD paste is available in 16% concentrations and 3 or 10 g sizes. It costs either £45.00 or £99.00 depending on which size you go for.
CBD Edibles
Aura CBD offers one a day CBD raw chocolate, which can be helpful if you prefer to get your CBD in delicious creamy chocolate form. With 30 pieces per bag, and at the cost of £28.00, affordability is excellent.
Unfortunately, there is no mention of how much CBD one can expect per piece of chocolate, a missing and important piece of information.
CBD Skin Care
CBD Antiaging Face Oil
A rich and nourishing facial oil to help combat the hands of time and preserve natural collagen production. This 20% full-spectrum oil can be applied twice daily, and is best used frequently as part of your skin care routine.
Enhanced with Argan and Rose Otto oil to boost its antioxidant potential significantly, a bottle of the CBD antiaging face oil retails for £30.00.
CBD Bath Salts
A very smart way of getting the benefits of CBD oil is to infuse it in magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) for a deeply restorative bath.
Simply add two or three tablespoons to your warm bath water and feel relief as muscle aches and pains dissolve.
The presence of lavender essential oil makes it extremely soothing as well, perfect for those times when you had a difficult day at the office and just want to unwind before bed.
A 250 g jar of the bath salts retails for £25.00.
CBD Bath, Body And Massage Oil
This highly versatile oil can be used in several ways as the name indicates, perfect for addition to your bathwater, for application as a moisturizer or to be used as an effective massage oil.
Containing a blend of essential oils along with vitamins E and A, this oil is one of the best products offered by Aura CBD.
CBD Oil Geek Pro Tip – if you regularly hit the gym, next time you schedule a massage session, take this to your therapist. You will love the accelerated recuperation rate afterwards.
CBD Skin Balm
Richly moisturizing, this 3% CBD infused skin balm along with cocoa butter and lavender essential oil is perfect for moisturizing dry skin, or bringing life back to listless pallor. Can also be applied to relieve minor aches and pains associated with arthritis or following your workout session.
My Recommendation
There’s no doubt in my mind that Aura CBD is one of the premier UK companies in the CBD industry. With that said, I also believe that they can do more when it comes to improved product pages and transparency; in terms of third-party lab results and the source of hemp.
Their product catalog may fit the needs of consumers at this time, but as the explosion of CBD continuous over the next few years, I am hopeful that so too does their number of offerings.
All in all, since there aren’t that many CBD companies in the UK at this moment, I would say they get my nod overall, especially since previous customers seem very pleased with purchases.
