Lazarus Naturals stands out for providing consistent, high-quality organic certified hemp-derived CBD affordably to all who need it. It has a history that dates back to 2014 when it would sell handcrafted products to small farmers markets but now boasts an impressive CBD product catalog with gummies, softgels, topicals, coconut oil, RSO, tinctures, and pet items available in isolate-based and full-spectrum formulations in multiple flavors and potencies. It prices its products affordably, with an average price point of $0- $1 for the $9- $2800 product price range, which is well within the market range, considering the high-quality products the brand offers. Lazarus Naturals is a transparent brand that readily avails all its 3^rd party test results on a centralized online hub, which has helped it clear its name in the past when its products reportedly tested positive for heavy metals. Its Oregon-sourced hemp is ethanol-processed to provide the products in its catalog. Here is our full 2022 review for this brand.

About the Company

Lazarus Naturals was founded in 2014, when the CEO, Sequoia Price-Lazarus, and a small team set out to sell handcrafted products in the small farmer markets. It is located in Portland, Oregon, where the offices are. According to its website, it has a mission of providing CBD products to people who need them affordably. These efforts are seen through its Assistance Program that offers 60% off to military veterans, active military personnel, long-term disabled people, and those from low-income households. As if that’s not enough, it donates to non-profit making organizations, including Women In Need and The Epilepsy Foundation.

The brand sources its organic, non-GMO hemp from Oregon farms known to have near-perfect growing conditions. Lazarus Naturals is a proud member of several hemp bodies, including the Oregon Industrial Hemp Farmers Association, and it upholds its high standards in cultivating hemp. Instead of using the popular CO₂ extraction method to strip CBD from hemp surfaces, it uses human-grade cane-based ethanol, and it is among the few companies that use this extraction method successfully. Its product inventory is wide and includes RSO items, pet products, tinctures, edibles, topicals, softgel capsules, and isolates. It rigorously conducts 3^rd party tests in liaison with Columbia Laboratories and religiously avails the results on the centralized Product Test Results link under the Learn section of the website. It offers free shipping for orders worth $50, and a 90-day money-back guarantee applies to all US sales.

Hemp Quality

Lazarus Naturals sources hemp from Oregon farms and uses it to manufacture CBD products. The hemp plants in the farms are organic and non-GMO, which is quite in order, considering the ethical concerns people have regarding the genetic modification of organisms. The hemp plants are occasionally tested while on-farm for pesticides and potency, ensuring they are safe and potent enough to generate phytocannabinoid-rich hemp flowers for the premium quality products in the brand’s inventory. Lazarus Naturals employs ethanol extraction to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces at its cGMP-guided lab facilities.

Manufacturing Process

Lazarus Naturals is a legal, authorized grower and processor of US hemp sourced from Oregon farms. Oregon is the third-largest hemp-growing region, considering its climatic conditions are near-perfect for hemp plants. The farms grow hemp sustainably and organically, allowing no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to constitute contaminants in the final products. Besides, the hemp plants are USDA-certified organic and feature non-GMO strains, just ideal for premium quality CBD products.

Although most reputable CBD brands use CO₂ extraction to strip CBD from hemp surfaces, Lazarus Naturals uses human-grade, cane-based ethanol extraction to strip is extracts from the hemp surfaces. According to its website, this method is cheap and ensures quality, allowing the brand to provide high-quality products at affordable prices. The resulting extracts are in isolate-based and full-spectrum formulations and are further formulated with MCT oil to increase bioavailability before being made into tinctures, edibles, topicals, pet items, RSO, isolates, and many more.

Lazarus Naturals stands out for many reasons, and lab testing is one of them. It tests its hemp for pesticides and potency while still on farms and subjects the extracts to the same tests, with an addition of heavy metals and solvents, in-house. This ensures the extracts, particularly isolates, are free of solvents from the ethanol extraction method. Next is 3^rd party testing, which screens the extracts for THC & CBD potencies and purity for standard contaminants, including heavy metals, microbials, solvents, residues, and pesticides, and posts the results online of the centralized Product Test Results hub. The reports show that all products are pure, pose CBD variance within the 10% acceptable limit, and are have less than 0.3% THC, especially for the full-spectrum products.

Lazarus Naturals boasts a wide product inventory with the following products;

What We Like About the Company

The following are cons associated with the Lazarus Naturals brand;

• Using non-GMO hemp grown sustainably and organically ensures the hemp plants and the final products do not interact with pesticides and other contaminants
• All manufacturing processes happen in a cGMP-guided lab, ensuring the highest safety and manufacturing standards
• The 90-day money-back guarantee allows dissatisfied clients to file claims and receive refunds and exchanges

What We Do Not Like About the Company

Lazarus Naturals is generally a good brand with almost no issues. However, it can still improve in the following areas;

• The $50 free shipping threshold is a bit high and may not be attained by everyone who might want to save on purchases
• Some clients complained about some tropical products had slippery packages and would easily slip away from the hand
• The brand does not offer broad-spectrum products for a full entourage effect without CBD
• Most industries use CO₂ extraction and may question Lazarus Naturals for using the human-grade ethanol extraction method to strip CBD oil from help surfaces

Our Verdict

Lazarus Naturals is one of the most reputable CBD brands that stands out for many reasons, including its sheer volume of products that cut across all CBD deliverables, the use of organic, non-GMO hemp for manufacturing CBD products, successfully using ethanol extraction to isolate CBD oil from hemp surfaces, rigorous efforts to conduct 3^rd contaminant purity and CBD & THC potency party tests for all products in its catalog and religiously posting the results on a centralized online hub, the Assistance Program it has to support special groups by offering them a 60% off the total sales, and much more. The brand offers RSO products, pet items, gummies, topicals, capsules, isolates, and tinctures at $9-$2800, posing an average price point of $0- $1. It has a 90-day money-back guarantee (probably the longest guarantee ever in hemp space) and a $50 free shipping threshold, which, despite being relatively high, helps many people save on purchases. The brand ticked most of the boxes and could probably improve a few areas like providing an alternative packaging for the slippery balm package, lowering its free shipping threshold, and considering using the most preferred technique, CO₂ extraction, to isolate CBD oil from the hemp surfaces.
