Love CBD: Our Honest Review
Founded in 2014 in Newmarket (Suffolk, UK), Love CBD was born out of a desire to create a high-quality CBD product for the UK market and the drive to share the profound health benefits of CBD with the rest of the world.
Their Hemp is grown in Europe and the company use a CO2 extraction process to produce their full-spectrum CBD oil.
Unlike other companies who have focused on offering CBD oil in bottles with dropper pipettes, Love CBD have switched to sprays as they believe they are better, less fiddly and more convenient than dropper pipettes.
However, they do allow customer to choose the oil delivery method on the checkout page, so customer who prefer dropper pipettes to sprays can request this when placing an order, which we think is a really nice touch and gives customers more control.
Love CBD oil is made of both broad and full-spectrum CBD and contains no artificial preservatives, no GMOs and no pesticides. Both their broad and full spectrum products contain all the other natural hemp extracts such as Cannabidol (CBD), CBDv (Cannabidivarin), CBG (Cannabigerol), CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBT (Cannabicitran), as well as the naturally-occurring terpenes, flavonoids, and Omega acids. The only difference between the two product is that their full-spectrum products contain traces amount of THC (less than 0.2%), whilst their broad spectrum oils are THC-Free.
All their products focus has been on maximising the entourage effect – a physiological phenomenon wherein the properties of active hemp compounds appear to be more powerful when consumed together rather than by themselves individually – through the preservation of synergy between the plants cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids.
Their products are all derived from organic hemp plants that are grown under the highest agricultural directives in Europe and their products are made in the UK.
Love CBD oil is vegan friendly, gluten-free, organic, GMO free, lab tested and is free from THC, CBN & THCV, ensuring you get the purest CBD possible with 0% THC.

Love CBD Review Score
Love CBD has been officially tested by the CBD Unboxed team and products have not been gifted by the brand. As such, this review is 100% independent and based on our personal findings.
The CBD Unboxed Story
I founded CBD Unboxed because I suffer from bilateral femoroacetabular impingement (known as FAI), a painful condition in which extra bone grows on the head of the femur (hip joint), giving the bones an irregular shape.
Because they do not fit together perfectly, the bones rub against each other during movement. Over time this friction can damage the joint, causing pain and resulting in arthritis of the hip joint.
To manage my pain and to avoid relying on traditional painkillers which have known side effects, I turned to more natural products and found CBD to be a godsend. I have been using CBD for the past 5 years and want to share my experience, so you too can experience the health benefits of CBD which are wide ranging – from pain relief and improved sleep, to reduced anxiety and depression.

Our Review: Love 10% CBD Oil
Our review focused on Love CBD 2000mg Entourage Oil (10% concentration with olive oil carrier), which contains all the terpenes, flavonoids, cannabinoids and trace amounts of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), and as such benefits from the entourage effect.
During the two-week period, we took 20mg of CBD in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by 10mg at lunchtime and a further 10mg an hour before bedtime, giving us a total of 40mg of CBD per day.
Price-wise, their 10% CBD Oil retails at £99.99 (£0.050 per mg of CBD) which makes it a relatively affordable CBD oil. The characteristics of their 2000mg CBD oil are detailed below.
+ Size: 20ml Bottle
+ Strength: 10% CBD Oil (2000mg)
+ Type: Full-Spectrum CBD Oil
+ Oil Carrier: Olive oil
+ Hemp Origin: Europe
+ Extraction: CO2
+ Flavour: Unflavoured
+ Our Rating: 8.9 / 10
+ Price: £99.95 (Cost per Day: £1.00 for 20mg daily)
Be aware that results may vary depending on your personal requirements so be sure to check the dosage recommendations before taking any CBD products.
So how well did Love entourage CBD oil perform in our review?
Love CBD: Effectiveness (9/10)
Strong Pain Relief & Anti-Inflammatory Properties
The Love CBD entourage oil spray has excellent analgesic (i.e. to relieve pain) and anti-inflammatory. The oil is sprayed under the tongue, kept there for 30-60 seconds and absorbed quickly into the bloodstream. It gets to work within 30 minutes and in my case it has allowed me to completely stop taking traditional pain killers as it has provided me with the pain relief I hoped for from day one.
By taking 2 sprays (32mg) of their 10% CBD entourage oil immediately after a tough workout in the morning (on an empty stomach) and an additional spray (16mg of CBD) just before lunch, I have experienced an incredible reduction of my pain levels.
It may be that by using a spray rather than a dropper, the actual amount of CBD consumed is greater as I had less control on the volume taken.
Seeing as I would usually take 20mg of CBD in the morning, taking 2 sprays meant that my intake was 50% greater than other products we have tested, which could explain the perceived efficacy of the product. As a full-spectrum oil, this product is on par with the other full-spectrum CBD oils in our Top 10, all of which have provided me with amazing pain relief.
In that respect, Love CBD has allowed me to simply just get on with my day without worrying too much about hip pain or discomfort. I’ve been able to remain active throughout the two weeks I’ve taken their CBD oil and even on days where I increased my physical activity, I was able to perform with little to no discomfort.
Immediately after I stopped taking Love CBD 10% oil at the end of the two-week product test, I noticed that my hip slowly started to be painful and stiff again, especially first thing in the morning and after my daily workout. After two or three days of not taking their CBD oil, the pain and discomfort were back during the day and my sleep was disrupted due to the pain, which clearly shows that Love CBD oil works. Period.
Other Benefits of Blessed CBD
CBD is believed to interact with specific receptors, specifically the CB1R and CB2R.
- CB1 receptors, which are located in various regions of the body, with a large concentration in the central nervous system and brain, co-ordinate mood, emotion, appetite, and other functions.
- CB2 receptors are more commonly found in the immune system and are responsible for controlling inflammation and pain. CBD stimulates these receptors and induces the body to release serotonin.
Serotonin, or 5-HT, is a neurotransmitter that carries signals from one neuron to the other. CBD increases the level of serotonin, which, in return, helps reduce pain and stress, as well as provide a range of other health benefits, which include:
- CBD Oil for Anxiety: CBD has both anti-anxiety and antidepressant properties, and can be a great alternative to anxiety medications which have known side-effects.
- CBD Oil for Headaches: CBD reduces the frequency of headaches as well as reduce stress and improve sleep, two major triggers of headaches. But CBD also has strong analgesic (pain relief) and antiemetic (prevent vomiting) properties which can help people with headache disorders during an attack.
- CBD Oil for Arthritis: CBD has antiarthritic, analgesic (pain relief) as well as anti-inflammatory properties and as such is a great option for people suffering from arthritis.
- CBD Oil for Pain: CBD has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, meaning that it can help relieve pain and fight inflammation.
- CBD Oil for Sleep: CBD helps relax both the mind and body through its interaction with the Hippocampus and Amygdala. When taken before going to bed, it can not only help you fall asleep faster, but also stay asleep throughout the night to get a more restful sleep.
Love CBD Review: Taste (9/10)
Whilst the most popular way to consume CBD is by using CBD tincture (oil), they often have a more earthy, nutty, woody or grass-like taste which is down to the fact the product is natural, safe, and non-toxic.
Taste: A Very Good Flavour Profile
When we first started taking Love CBD 10% entourage oil, we did not pay too much attention to the colour of the CBD oil which is often an indicator of how strong the oil may be – the darker the oil, the stronger the taste. However, as we opted for a spray instead of a dropper, we did not get to see the oil itself since you don’t need to unscrew the spray from the bottle, so we did not know what to expect.
After taking it for two weeks, it is fair to say that their CBD has quite a nice flavour profile – for a natural CBD oil that is. When swallowing the oil after leaving it under the tongue for 30-60 seconds, you will certainly get an earthy taste in your mouth, which might remain in your throat for 5-10 minutes, but it really isn’t bad at all.
Now, we expect all unflavoured CBD oils to have this natural hemp flavour, but Love CBD is a little more gentle on the palette when compared to other CBD brands in our Top 10!
This could be down to three factors:
- Olive Oil Carrier: The oil carrier can play a major role in the taste of the CBD oil, and since Love CBD uses Olive oil instead of Hempseed oil, it gives the oil a more gentle flavour profile.
- Spray: The fact that the oil is delivered via a spray rather than drops may also play a role in the oil being more palatable. By using a spray, the diffusion of the oil in the mouth is more spread out and with finer particles, which may ultimately reduce the potency of the oil.
- Multiple Strains: The other aspect to consider is the fact that unlike many other CBD brands which focus on one CBD strain and farm (e.g. Colorado), Love CBD oil is crafted from multiple strains of cannabis grown on farms all around Europe. By combining different strains, grown in different climates, it does not only has the potential to amplify and increase the effectiveness of the cannabis oil, but also to alter the flavour profile to make it more palatable.
Note: Love CBD also launched a Dutch CBD oil spray (150mg to 500mg in 20ml bottles), which comes from Holland’s finest quality cannabis. Being a single strain CBD oil, it would be interesting to try this product to see the flavour profile differs from their standard product.
Love CBD Review: Value (8/10)
Efficient & Great Value for Money
Not only do we think that Love CBD has developed a CBD oil that is efficient and great tasting, but they’ve also sensibly priced their products which makes them great value for money.
A person between 150 and 240 lbs may need between 18mg and 27mg of CBD per day depending on the severity of their symptoms. A 20ml bottle of their 2000mg CBD entourage oil spray (retail: £99.99) will therefore last between 71 and 111 days and cost between £0.90 and £1.40 per day (with free shipping), which we think is quite good value especially when compared to other CBD brands in our Top 10.
Based on 20mg of CBD per day, here’s how the Top CBD brands reviewed by our team stack-up:
Cost/Day | Buy | |
Medterra | £0.67 | BUY NOW |
Canna Union | £0.67 | BUY NOW |
Honest Hemp | £0.78 | BUY NOW |
Holistic Hemp | £0.91 | BUY NOW |
Love CBD | £1.00 | BUY NOW |
Naturecan | £1.10 | BUY NOW |
Provacan | £1.25 | BUY NOW |
VAAY | £1.28 | BUY NOW |
Hempura | £1.30 | BUY NOW |
Blessed CBD | £1.50 | BUY NOW |
Bud & Tender | £1.60 | BUY NOW |
So heavy CBD users will need to place an order every two months or so, whilst mild users may be able to push this to 3.5 months.
Love CBD Review: Product Range (8/10)
Love CBD have focused on developing a small range of full-spectrum quality CBD products which aim to maximise the full entourage effect and have as a result made a conscious effort to stay away for other products such as CBD gummies or CBD vape pens.
To date, Love CBD offers the following products.
1. Entourage CBD Oils (Most Popular)
In the entourage oil range, Love CBD currently focuses on three different strengths – 800mg (4%), 1400mg (7%) and 2000mg (10%).
Their full-spectrum CBD oils are made from organically-grown EU hemp and use an Olive oil carrier, giving them a very nice flavour profile.
Not only is their entourage oil using Olive oil, but their entourage products are crafted from multiple strains of cannabis grown on farms all around Europe (Holland, France etc) as opposed to a single strain. By combining different strains, grown in different climates, it does not only have the potential to increase the effectiveness of the cannabis oil, but also to alter the flavour profile to make it more palatable.
+ Size: 20ml Bottle
+ Strength: 4% to 10%
+ Type: Full-Spectrum
+ THC Content: Less than 0.2%
+ Oil Carrier: Olive oil
+ Flavour: Unflavoured
+ Dropper Type: Spray
+ Price: From £48.99
Their entourage CBD oils are available in three different strengths and come in 20ml bottles which explains the diluted concentration when compared to traditional 10ml bottles:
CBD (mg) | Price | BUY |
800mg (4%) | £48.99 | BUY NOW |
1400mg (7%) | £79.99 | BUY NOW |
2000mg (10%) | £99.99 | BUY NOW |
*Amount of CBD per Spray = 0.16ml
Their 4% CBD oil retails at £48.99 (£2.45 per ml), their 7% oil at £79.99 (£4 per ml) and their 10% oil at £99.99 (£5 per ml).
When comparing the price and strength of their CBD entourage oils, going for a higher potency works out cheaper in the long run as a person using 20mg of CBD per day will spend £1.00 per day using their 10% entourage oil and £1.22 per day when using their 4% oil, a saving of 18% when going for the higher potency oil.
2. Dutch CBD Oils (Best for Beginners)
On top of their entourage CBD oil, Love CBD have developed a ‘Dutch’ CBD line, a lower potency and therefore cheaper CBD oil, made from Holland’s finest quality cannabis. As we haven’t tried this product we cannot comment on its efficacy, but looking purely at the concentrations (0.77%, 1.5% and 2.5%), it would appear as this is simply the low concentration oils offered by Love CBD aimed at first time users.
+ Size: 20ml Bottle
+ Strength: 1% to 2.5%
+ Type: Broad-Spectrum
+ THC Content: THC Free
+ Oil Carrier: Olive oil
+ Flavour: Unflavoured
+ Dropper Type: Spray
+ Price: From £9.99
Their Dutch CBD oils are also available in three different strengths and come in 20ml bottles.
CBD (mg) | Price | BUY |
150mg (0.75%) | £9.99 | BUY NOW |
300mg (1.5%) | £18.99 | BUY NOW |
500mg (2.5%) | £28.99 | BUY NOW |
*Amount of CBD per Spray = 0.16ml
Their 150mg dutch oil retails at £9.99 (£0.066 per ml), their 300mg dutch oil at £19.99 (£0.066 per ml) and their 500mg dutch oil at £28.99 (£0.058 per ml).
When comparing the price and strength of their CBD Dutch oils, going for the highest potency works out cheaper in the long run as a person using 20mg of CBD per day will spend £1.32 per day using their 150mg dutch oil and £1.16 per day when using their 500mg dutch oil, a saving of 21% when going for the higher potency Dutch oil.
3. Gold CBD Oils (Better Taste)
As not all consumers are interested in CBD oils containing THC, Love CBD has developed a new range of broad-spectrum CBD oils called ‘Gold Oils’. These will give you all the benefits of their full-spectrum entourage oils, but as hey are made using broad-spectrum extracts, they are 100% THC-free.
This CBD oil is perfect for those who want to ingest CBD, but do not like the natural taste of hemp. As this is a broad-spectrum oil, it has gone through an additional filtration process to remove the THC as well as the unwanted plant waxes, making it better tasting than full-spectrum oils.
+ Size: 20ml Bottle
+ Strength: 1.25% to 5%
+ Type: Broad-Spectrum
+ THC Content: THC Free
+ Oil Carrier: Olive oil
+ Flavour: Unflavoured
+ Dropper Type: Spray
+ Price: From £12.99
Their Dutch CBD oils are available in three different strengths and come in 20ml bottles.
CBD (mg) | Price | BUY |
250mg (1.25%) | £12.99 | BUY NOW |
500mg (2.5%) | £22.99 | BUY NOW |
1000mg (5%) | £39.99 | BUY NOW |
*Amount of CBD per Spray = 0.16ml
4. Entourage CBD Capsules (THC Free)
If the taste of CBD oil isn’t your thing, or if you would prefer not to take CBD by using CBD oil sublingually, then check out Love CBD entourage capsules, as you will be able to experience all the benefits of CBD without the downsides of CBD oil.
Although they are called ‘entourage’ capsules, it is important to note that unlike their entourage CBD oil, these capsules are made with broad-spectrum CBD and are therefore THC free.
+ Size: 30 or 60 capsules
+ Strength: 600mg to 1800mg
+ Type: Broad-Spectrum
+ THC Content: THC Free
+ Vegan Friendly: Yes (Vegetable Capsules)
+ Great For: Pain Relief, Stress, Anxiety
+ Price: From £18.99
When buying their entourage capsules, you will have the choice between 30 and 60 capsules per bottle, but be aware that the amount of CBD in each capsule will vary depending on which strength you go for:
CBD (mg) | CBD / Capsule | BUY |
Entourage Capsules 600mg | 10mg | BUY NOW |
Entourage Capsules 1200mg | 20mg | BUY NOW |
Entourage Capsules 1800mg | 30mg | BUY NOW |
Choosing Love CBD entourage capsules is a great way to get your CBD intake and it’s incredibly travel friendly, the ideal solution for those who are always on the go.
As with other Love CBD products, their capsules contain no pesticides, herbicides, solvents or chemical fertilizers, they are sourced from organically grown, non-GMO, pesticide-free hemp plants that have been grown in the EU. They have also been independently lab tested for potency and purity.
5. Love CBD Balm (Localised Application)
Love CBD muscle balm is a multi-purpose cannabis-infused skin balm that contains CBD extracts of cannabis, as well as hemp seed oil and terpenes, which all meld together into a wonderful, cannabis-rich CBD balm.
Other ingredients include coconut oil, beeswax, shea butter, theobroma cacao, grape seed oil, rosemary, vanilla planifolia et beta caryophyllene. It is a great option to deliver CBD locally and helps with painful conditions such as arthritis.
Price-wise, their CBD balm 1000mg retails at £59.99 which works out at £0.059 per mg. Not the cheapest CBD balm on the market, but definitely one of the most effective.
+ Size: 100ml
+ CBD: 1000mg
+ Type: Broad-Spectrum CBD
+ THC: 100% THC Free
+ Great For: Pain Relief (e.g. Arthritis)
+ Price: £59.99
The balm comes in three different sizes, each with the same concentration of CBD (1%):
- Love CBD Balm 100mg: A 10g jar containing 100mg of CBD
- Love CBD Balm 300mg: A 30g jar containing 300mg of CBD
- Love CBD Balm 1000mg: A 100g jar containing 1000mg of CBD

Love CBD Review: Lab Testing (10/10)
Many products on the market contain pesticides, herbicides, mould, fungi and dangerous mycotoxins and for these reasons, Love CBD products go through a rigorous process to ensure they are tested for quality and potency. To do so, they use cutting-edge testing equipment and work with Eurofins, an international company offering analytical testing for CBD products, to test all their products. The tests carried out focus on various dimensions to guarantee the quality and safety of each batch.
- Over 200 different pesticides
- Heavy Metals like Arsenic, Lead, or Mercury
- Aflatoxins and Mycotoxins
- Terpenes
- Microbes
As a CBD company, Love CBD plays the transparency card with their customers. They guarantee that the product you are purchasing contains the exact amount of CBD advertised on their site, without any THC (the intoxicating compound in cannabis).
In addition to being sourced and extracted from the highest-grade certified organic EU hemp, they guarantee that their products are 100% organic and free of synthetic ingredients.
They allow customers to see their Certificates of Analysis online by going to their lab results page, which breaks down the potency of cannabinoids. The tests available to customers do not however highlight the presence of terpenes and flavonoids, as well as the absence of heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides or microbes, which we think is a shame but pretty standard in the industry.
Below is an example certificate of analysis you’ll be able to get on their website.
Customer Reviews
By focusing on developing a small range of high-quality full-spectrum CBD products, pricing the fairly, delivering their products in a timely fashion and offering great customer support, Love CBD has built one of the best CBD brands in the UK and has a loyal customer base. The company has over 4000 verified reviews on Trustpilot, with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5, making it one of the best scores from a UK CBD brand. Below are some of their latest customer reviews.
I buy the 800mg CBD Entourage spray. I’ve tried a few other brands but this worked pretty much straight away for me. I take it for anxiety and I’ve been using it for over 12 months now and don’t need to take medication anymore. I use it every day (6 sprays) and will occasionally take an extra 3 sprays! I have no side effects like I did on medication, only down side it does cost more than a prescription. I love the point system when you buy. Delivery is super quick and product wrapped well. I would definitely recommend!
I have bought from Love CBD and I use CBD for a mild anxiety and stress. It works well, just about to put another order in. My reason for buying from Love CBD is that I trust the source and the purity they advertise. There is a lot of companies out there which I don’t think their products are as pure or tested. I rate this 5 star!

Love CBD Review: The Verdict
In terms of how it compares to other brands in our Top 10 CBDs oils, we simply cannot fault Love CBD on the quality, efficacy, taste or value for money of their CBD oil. The main thing we didn’t particularly like was the fact that their oil comes in a spray instead of a dropper, which in our opinion makes it less easy to control your exact CBD intake.
