So, here’s the deal. Concentrates can be pretty much anything made with or from a cannabis extract. Meaning, that any finished product of a raw cannabis extract can be a concentrate of some type of cannabinoid. For instance, you take a hemp plant and make rosin extract from it. This rosin extract is most probably a concentrate of CBD due to the high trace amounts of CBD in hemp.

Because of this, a concentrate can look very diluted and liquid like oil, or very thick and heavy like budder or wax. This all depends on the extraction method and processes used. These same raw forms of extracts are then taken and processed into other finished goods like soaps, topicals, oils, vape oils, and many more. However, these finished products are not concentrates themselves.

Now that we’re clear:

CBD concentrates are in great demand, specifically in the U.S. where regulations for CBD have been in effect and gotten stricter ever since the Farm Bill of 2018 passed. Making CBD available from reliable brands at decent pricing.

This same scenario is a double-edged sword, as it has painted the way for thousands of brands to come out with new exciting products but making it more difficult for consumers like you to weed out the ‘bad seeds’ of the lot. That’s what we’re here for; to provide you a list with the best CBD concentrates in the game right now.

If we’re going to make a list with the best products out there, we might as well start it off with the best of the best. CBDistillery is a known brand in the industry, with 5-star reviews all over the internet, and a reliable first purchase if this is your first-time acquiring CBD concentrates.

Their High Purity Powder is made from broad-spectrum CBD extract and processed into 1 g of powder that can be mixed into your favorite food and drinks. Easily diluted into any drink, CBDistillery’s powder carries 0% THC which spares you the burden of getting high if that’s something you’re not looking for.

Crumble is a word that for some reason sounds almost “too good’ when it comes to desserts. Well, get used to it in cannabis as well, because it’s not the exception when it comes to concentrates either. OG Kush has managed to craft a terpene infused concentrate that packs, not only 750 mg of CBD, but also 100 mg of CBG. A CBD Dab that goes a long long way, made with broad-spectrum extract taken from American grown and third-party lab tested Hemp.

Here’s something a bit more savage, but by no means less innovative. Savage CBD takes prime-A Pineapple Express CBD flower and processes to extract the purest full-spectrum CBD shatter. This 1 g jar is meant for CBD enthusiasts that already have a device to consume shatter; be it an oil rig or wax pen. Although shatter could also be used as an addition to recipes, the most direct way of consuming it that carries the fastest onset would be vaporizing it.

Save CBD utilizes full spectrum CBD that has been lab-tested to guarantee a non-GMO, vegan, and pesticide-free label. But that’s not all, if you’re familiar with (and enjoy) Pineapple Express scents, then you’re in for a treat.

As the world of concentrates becomes broader and broader by the minute, we’ve started to understand that concentrates getting you high are not a feature that everyone likes. However, pretty much everyone likes the concentrate experience in general.

That’s why Blue Moon offers a strain-specific shatter with 99.6% CBD. You may choose Blue Moon’s shatter in whichever strain suits you best out of four different options including, Pineapple, Blueberry, Sour Diesel, and Sativa AK. Each metal jar comes with 1gram of total content and two concentration options of 500 mg and 1,000 mg per flask. Not to mention, a guaranteed 0.0% THC content.

A powdery Isolate that feels pure and easy to dilute. As it should, as Proleve uses nothing but hemp-extracted CBD isolate and is engineered to be easily mixed with your favorite drinks and recipes. Proleve’s Pure CBD Isolate Powder does not include any amount of other cannabinoids, or any other components for that matter. So, if you’re looking for an entirely pure CBD experience, you’ve got a solid contender here. As every raw material is U.S. sourced, you can rest assured that every hemp plant used to produce a single tin is put through rigorous manufacturing and testing processes.

JustCBD is not only a recognized brand in the market that promises reliability and quality. It’s a brand that actually lives up to its name. Speaking specifically about their CBD Isolate, JustCBD promises at least 99% CBD purity, guaranteed by the use of non-GMO hemp oil and a triple-tested raw material in their manufacturing process. Each jar comes with 1-gram of total CBD isolate powder, which means a total of 990 mg of CBD, making it easily one of the most potent items on the list.  Just CBD’s Isolate is 100% THC-free and is also, as are most powders, a versatile concentrate that can be consumed by dabbing or sublingually.

Another highly pure CBD option, but that’s not something that should take us by surprise as this is a stable of every CBD American Shaman product. This Isolate powder carries a purity of 99% and is made from hemp-derived CBD extract. Every plant used in the CBD American Shaman manufacturing process is U.S. grown, which ensures an odorless, tasteless, high-quality product. American Shaman’s CBD Isolate can be used by diluting it into drinks, using it on recipes, or placing it directly under your tongue for a quicker and more bioavailable option.

CBDfx is hands down one of the most reliable brands in the market. Which is a great thing when it comes to ingestible or breathable CBD finished goods. This raw wax is made with full-spectrum CBD extract. Which is a good thing, especially when it comes to vaped CBD as it will carry other cannabinoids and terpenes that may provide an entourage effect on CBD (meaning that its effects on the body may be enhanced by other components).

The idea is to take the wax with a dab pen and set it on your heated oil rig to vape. Another important thing to point out is that this wax, although still wax, is not so sticky which makes it easier to handle.

CBD Living Dabz Shatter is CO2 extracted, produced from organic and Non-GMO hemp plants. This shatter contains zero THC, solvents, heavy metals, or pesticides. CBD Living offers four delicious flavors of Dabz Shatter, which you may recognize from other cannabis products: Zkittlez – a fruity, tangy flavor reminiscent of candy; Durban Poison – spicy and sweet with a hint of black licorice; Orange Cookies – freshly squeezed orange juice mixed with sweet cookie flavor; and Gelato – sweet sherbet crossed with chocolate peppermint cookies.

The terpene profile Redwood Reserves CBD Dabs use is the same as one of their CBD flowers’ strains:

Available in Mango and AK-47 terpene infused CBD+CBG, Industrial Hemp Farms CBD Terpsolates look pretty yummy and easy to dab. Nonetheless, there is not much information about them, and reviews on the internet aren’t great.

Industrial Hemp Farms is well-known and renowned in the CBD world, so I would feel safe trying their shatter, especially the Mango flavor, which seems delicious.

Plain Jane CBD Full Spectrum Shatter is available with Banana Kush, Jack Herer, Strawnana, or Skywalker OG terpenes. Perfect for dabbing, the full-spectrum, hemp-derived CBD shatter comes highly concentrated with over 800mg of CBD per gram!

This CBD shatter concentrate is semi-clear because the hemp extract molecules are stacked nicely and neat in straight rows, one on top of the other. This molecular alignment allows light to pass through the marijuana extract and gives the shatter its glass-like properties.

Pure CBD Vapor’s CBD Hash Sativa Black Hash – Natural – 1 g, is superior to almost anything on the market. With a full-plant profile and 20% Cannabinoids, it guarantees efficacy is within seconds of consumption. It is 100% Kief derived, they use a CO2 extraction – and heating is never involved with the process. 

Sometimes it’s the little guy that packs the most potent punch! This 100% CBD concentrate is guaranteed to surprise and excite. An excellent product for people of all ages and needs, looks can certainly be deceiving. While only available in a ½ gram tin, the potency of the concentrate is much greater than what is found in vape juices and capsules. 

A portion the size of a grain of rice is more than enough to suit your needs, elongating the life of the tin much further than what would be expected. The concentration is distillate, meaning that it is almost pure CBD except for a few terpenes. While the product will have a smell and taste, it will not be nearly as prominent as other products, unlike a total CBD isolate. 

This product is best consumed after being vaporized through either a vapor pen or a dab rig. The inhalation of this concentrate as a vapor effectively allows for speedy absorption of CBD by the body. If using a vapor pen, place a small portion of the concentrate into your pen’s cartridge and follow the operating instructions provided by the pen. 

Similarly, using a dab rig, place the concentrate into the rig and heat it until its vapors are ready to inhale. To determine your serving size, wait 5-10 minutes between the pen or rig and focus on the CBD’s effects on your body. 

If you do not own a vapor pen or dab rig and do not plan on acquiring either of these items, it is also entirely safe for the concentrate to be consumed orally. Place a small portion of the concentrate under your tongue and let it sit for 30-45 seconds before swallowing it. This will provide for optimal absorption.

Grape Kush: Grape Kush has a sweet grape taste with subtle cheesiness that should satisfy fans of natural hemp flavor. Because of the assortment of terpenes specific to Grape Kush, this shatter has the same grapey-hemp flavor of the well-known strain but without the intoxicating effects. 

This is a potent and concentrated product. At 960 mg of CBD in 1 g, you’ll experience strong effects. To use, CBD Lion suggests dabbing this shatter using glass rigs or enails.

Krypted CBD’s line of CBD isolates powder is best characterized by its flexibility. Their powder can be consumed directly by placing a portion of it under your tongue and letting it dissolve until it resembles a tincture or oil; you can also add it to the food or drink of your next meal by mixing it in until it is infused; it can also be inhaled if you dissolve it and add it to the tank of your vape pen; and, finally, it can be dabbed, which is the primary use Krypted flavored isolates have.

Below are their four iconic strains:

Sour Diesel: Krypted CBD’s Sour Diesel possesses not only the namesake of one of the most popular cannabis strains of all time but also the memorable experience that one whole gram of high-quality CBD isolate powder can produce. Pure CBD is the base of this powder, and it is paired with select terpenes that give it the familiar taste and scent associated with the Sour Diesel strain.

Sunset Watermelon: The sweet, soft notes of the watermelon are a staple of the Sunset Watermelon powder. Like natural watermelon, this isolate is easy to prepare and a pleasure to taste, thanks to the terpenes added to the gram of this isolate powder which comes in each package, ensuring that your experience is as potent as it is pure.

OG Kush: Krypted CBD OG Kush Isolate Powder derives from the West Coast strain whose popularity stems from its earthy, citrus flavor. It adopts the tastes of this strain while providing an experience that is pure and tasty. At 1g of CBD isolate powder per product, you’ll be receiving a good serving of high-quality cannabidiol with each use, enhanced by the added OG Kush terpenes to dictate the powder’s overall taste and aroma.

White Peach: Krypted CBD’s White Peach Isolate Powder is one of the best at actually mimicking a peach’s sweet and juicy flavor. This powder consists of a CBD isolate extract and additional fruit flavoring. The fact that it is so pure makes it odor and flavorless, making the peach flavoring especially prominent.

Lazarus Naturals Bulk CBD Isolate is practical, easy to measure, and 100% THC free. It is not water-soluble, but it can be administered sublingually, mixed with food or drink, or incorporated into DIY oils and topicals, and of course, dabbing. This bulk isolate is perfect if you are exploring what your favorite approach to high potency CBD is.

CBD isolate promotes a healthy inflammation response and can help with localized relief from stress, pain, and anxiety. Lazarus Naturals guarantee the best quality by extracting and formulating their products in their facilities, products which curiously are manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts – so be careful if you are allergic!

Pinnacle Hemp Crumble is a potent, complete spectrum CBD concentrate that comes in a 1G crumble texture, packed with 400 mg of CBD and enriched with terpenes. It is suitable for a vape pen but ideal for dabbing since it melts down incredibly, in an even way.

The Crumble is a full spectrum extract from hemp grown in the US, all plants being non-GMO and third-party tested.

The process is actually quite easy to explain if we keep it general because if we’re looking to go into detail things might get a bit out of hand and a tad too technical (which is something you’re likely not looking to do). From a very broad perspective the process goes like this:

1. First, you take your hemp flower and submit it to an extraction process. There are dozens of different extraction processes, so we’ll just say that the bud is submitted to heat and pressure. When that happens, the bud will ooze, let’s just call them: juices. These ‘juices’ are what we know as extracts.
2. Right then and there you have a very broad form of concentrate. However, brands usually take this extract and apply a couple of solvents and organic (or non-organic) additives that help to turn the extract into a finished good.

And that’s pretty much it really. Of course, if we were going to go into detail, we’d be writing a whole article just on extraction processes and a second one on concentrate manufacturing, but this gives us a detailed enough idea for the purpose of this article.

This will ultimately depend on the type of concentrate you’re buying. But all-in-all, most concentrates on the list either include a form of vaping, sublingual, or edible application.

When we talk about concentrates our mind usually drifts towards shatter, budder, and wax (which would then mean using an oil rig or dab pen). But the truth is that concentrates can also come in the form of edible or sublingual drops.
