Frequently Asked Questions

What is CBD?

CBD is found in Cannabis Sativa L, which includes both hemp and marijuana. How is one plant considered hemp and the other marijuana? They are differentiated solely by a legal definition – hemp has less than 0.3% THC and marijuana has more than 0.3% THC. What is now considered “craft hemp” has less than 0.3% THC, but as much as 20% CBD.

Why Use CBD?

Customers have found our CBD products a welcome addition to their regular self-care regimen. CBD is a major topic of interest and research for scientists globally, and there is very promising information that it may have value in supporting health and wellness. According to a report from the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.” The report goes on to say that, to date, there is no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of CBD.

Will I Get High or Addicted?

No, you will not. CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning that using it on its own (without THC) will not make one feel “high.” Our topicals contain no THC, meaning that you will never feel “high” from using our hemp CBD topical products. Our Full Spectrum CBD Drops always contains less than 0.3% THC, which is not enough to be intoxicating, but could show up on a drug test. For best results, start with a single drop of our Full Spectrum CBD Drops and gauge how you feel.

Why is third-party lab testing important?

Hemp is a bioaccumulator and is often used to “clean” soil, meaning that it absorbs heavy metals and other chemical waste from the soil. We partner with leading craft hemp producers to provide you with the cleanest, highest-quality CBD available. By 3rd party lab-testing every batch we make, our customers know they are getting the most pure plant-based CBD products available.

Why Empower

Because you deserve the best! We conduct extensive research and development before we release any new product and we will never make a gimmicky product. Every batch of Empower products is randomly sampled by a 3rd party lab and tested for cannabinoid potency, homogeneity, solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbiological activity, including bacteria, mold, yeast, E. coli, and coliforms for superior product quality.

Which product should I use?

That depends on what you're hoping to achieve. Are you dealing with stress, tension, lying awake at night? Are you hoping to ease discomfort? Each product has unique properties, the key is to find the right one for you.

We recommend the CBD Luxury Body Oil for most of our customers. If you don't want to use a roll-on oil, we recommend the CBD Luxury Body Creams.

If you like taking long, luxurious baths that feel like soaking in a spa, the soaking salts are perfect for you. They're also a go-to for hard-to-reach areas that you can't reach yourself with the creams and oil. Or for treating your whole body.

If you'd like to get more restful sleep or would like some mood support, we recommend our Full Spectrum CBD Drops.

If you have more questions about the products, we are here to help. You can use the chat feature to contact us, you can email us or give us a call. We're here to help and will assist you in choosing the right product for you.

  • U.S.A. Grown Organic Hemp

    Our award-winning products only contain organic CBD from the United States. We source from local, organic farms in the US. Organic is especially important for hemp extracts because hemp is a bioaccumulator and "cleans" the soil of toxins. We only want CBD derived from organically grown hemp as a result we do not import our CBD from anywhere outside the US.

    Our extensive experience informed our rigorous testing strategy. We were the first CBD company to provide this type of testing in the industry.
