Elixinol’s Seven Guiding Business Principles of Success

Elixinol strives to be a globally-beneficial company. As such, they donate a percentage of each sale to a charity of a customer’s choosing from among their seven non-profit partner organizations. What’s more, their business is built on these seven underlying pillars of success:

Clear Vision

First and foremost, they endeavor to educate, empower, and inspire their customers around the world to live lives which are naturally healthy and happy. They do this by providing informative blog posts and CBD education sections on their site. These sections cover topics such as:

Why you’ll find MCT coconut oil along with CBD oil extract in their tinctures
Why CBD oil may be good for your pets
And why it’s better to use full-spectrum hemp oil, not CBD isolate

Commitment to Excellence

Elixinol only employs those who share their philosophy of excellence. They consistently strive to provide their staff members with an environment that fosters both personal and professional growth. Additionally, they’ve empowered each staff member so they can become self-motivated leaders who communicate openly with the rest of the team.

Superior Product Sourcing

Elixinol is committed to providing the highest quality CBD products to their customers. To accomplish this, they’ve built relationships with American, Australian, and European farmers who share their vision of excellence. Thus, Elixinol can proudly state their products have been certified:

Organic
Non-GMO
Realm of Caring
European Industrial Hemp Association
And full-spectrum

Expert Product Development

Products which are marketed with Elixinol’s label have been researched and tested to ensure they contain the most effective blend of ingredients. They also make it a point to never rush new products to market before testing and researching them. This ensures customers are receiving the most consistent and highest quality products every time.

Strong Channel Partners

Elixinol realizes their success is due, in large part, to their partners. For this reason, they only build relationships with distributors who share their core values and dedication to quality.

World-Class Customer Experience

Elixinol endeavors to treat each and every customer like family. In every customer interaction, they strive to exceed the customer’s expectations and wow them.

For-Benefit Business

Last, but not least, Elixinol is committed to being a for-benefit business. They seek to have a positive impact on the environment and the people they serve. They accomplish this by only aligning themselves with organizations that share their vision for sustainability and by donating a percentage of each sale to charity.

Elixinol’s Dedication to Quality

Elixinol’s products are all derived from strains of organically-grown and naturally-processed industrial hemp. With each product, they strive to exceed industry standards for purity and quality.

In fact, Elixinol has written a very helpful blog post which details the five things customers should look for when assessing the quality of a CBD product. In short, look for:

Companies who use petroleum-free methods of extracting CBD from their industrial hemp
Companies that are transparent and make their third-party lab test results available to the public
Companies whose products contain less than .03 percent THC
Companies who use whole-plant extracts—derived from the stems, stalks, and seeds— in their products

For customers who are interested in reading all about the compounds found in full-spectrum CBD extracts, Elixinol has written quite an exhaustive post here.

Elixinol Third-Party Lab Test Results

Elixinol makes all its third-party lab test results available to customers here. To maintain the utmost in transparency, Elixinol includes all batch and lot numbers on their products. To find the corresponding certificate of analysis, look for the type of product under each heading, e.g. X-pen, tinctures, etc.

When reviewing the reports, keep in mind that high-quality CBD products should never contain any of the following substances.

Herbicides
Pesticides
Growth hormones
Fertilizers
Microbial contaminants
Residual solvents
And heavy metals

What Do Other Customers Say About Elixinol?

CannaInsider gives Elixinol an almost perfect score of 4.86 out of 5 stars. They rated Elixinol on its price and value, CBD content, color, and taste.

They were impressed with Elixinol’s product quality. The CBD tincture they reviewed was clear gold in color, which means it has gone through extensive processing to filter out undesirable elements such as chlorophyll. For more on the importance of color and viscosity, you can read their extensive piece here.

They noted that Elixinol’s tincture smells like cinnamon, as advertised on the label. This cinnamon flavor is good at masking the earthiness of natural CBD oil extracts.

Lastly, Elixinol’s products also passed all their publicly-available lab tests, and they stand out from the rest of the pack by donating 5 percent of each sale to one of seven charities. Their products also contain liposomes, which may increase the bioavailability of the CBD.
