Top Questions
Have questions about Sunsoil CBD products? We talk to people about CBD every day. Here are the most frequent questions we receive and some quick answers.
We started as Green Mountain CBD and changed our name to Sunsoil in early 2019. With this name change, you can expect the same exact product formulas, pricing, farming practices, extraction method, and people behind the company as you did under our former name. The recent change only impacted our name and logo. Transitioning to our new name and logo allows us to trademark Sunsoil as a brand, which helps to protect our product and customers.

We developed a simple infusion method using only hemp and organic coconut oil. Whole-plant infusion involves minimal processing of our hemp plants in contrast to other popular methods, such as CO2 or ethanol extraction.
We steep the dried hemp in coconut oil, heat and press it. This method does the best job of capturing the full range of beneficial compounds found naturally in the hemp plant.
We don't just focus on making the best possible CBD oil, we do it as efficiently as possible.
Unlike most companies, we do everything ourselves: we breed our seeds, we farm our hemp, and we make CBD oil on-site. Owning the full process allows us to monitor quality and save cost at every step.
Our unique, whole-plant infusion method of making CBD oil is also critical. It allows us to make a naturally rich CBD oil for a fraction of the cost. Infusion is naturally cost-efficient relative to methods that other CBD oil producers use (such as CO2 extraction).
Finally, simplicity is key. We focus on making a few great products, and doing it efficiently. Our mission is to make high-quality CBD oil that is affordable and accessible. We currently price our products at a flat rate of 5 cents per milligram of CBD, and plan to continually bring our prices down over time.
We work very hard to offer our CBD oil at the price that we do, and we are looking into ways to help our customers save. One of our main missions is to continually bring our prices down, in order to continue making a high-quality CBD oil that is both affordable and accessible – as it should be. Our CBD products are priced at 5 cents per milligram – the lowest price in the country without sacrificing quality. We also work with our network of partners to occasionally offer discounts.
There are no restrictions on flying with our products within the United States/domestically - just be sure to keep the product in the original packaging. We do not advise people to travel internationally with our products unless they have consulted with all appropriate authorities.
Our Products
Yes, all of our products are full spectrum. Nothing is added or removed during the process in order to preserve the wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes that naturally exist in our hemp plants.
This also means that there are trace amounts of THC in all of our products (<0.3% THC on a dry-weight basis). The trace amounts are not intended to produce psychoactive effects.
Our peppermint drops contain organic peppermint essential oil, while our cinnamon drops contain cinnamon bark essential oil (Ceylon variety).
Our chocolate mint drops contain organic peppermint essential oil and plant-derived aroma compounds to mimic the chocolate flavor. They are cocoa-free.
No, our softgels contain bovine-sourced gelatin. If you're looking for a vegan/vegetarian option, try our 30 or 90 count vegan capsules instead.
All products are gluten-free and are produced in allergen-free environments.
Sunsoil CBD oil capsules are made of HPMC. This is a semi-synthetic cellulose that has been the industry standard used in vegetarian capsules. Our CBD oil (product in capsules) is produced and manufactured on site at our Vermont farm using our organic hemp and organic coconut oil.
Please refer to the best-by date printed on the product label, next to the product's lot number. You can also check your product's best-by date from our lab results page.
We recommend storing all products in a cool, dry place that is out of direct sunlight and away from any heat-source. It's not necessary to refrigerate our products.
Taking CBD
Every person's experience with CBD will differ. We recommend starting with a 20mg serving of CBD, and waiting a couple hours before taking any more, paying close attention to how you feel/what you notice. In general, it's important to find the "routine" that works for your body and needs. By routine, we refer to the serving size, frequency of use and product format.
Effects are not always immediate, as it can take a couple weeks of consistent use before you begin to notice benefits. Some folks take a couple servings per day, only once per day, or only as needed. It's not uncommon to take more (or less!) than a 20mg serving of CBD, or to use more than one product format.
Which product you choose will ultimately come down to personal preference! Every person's experience with CBD will differ. Some folks prefer the ease and efficiency of taking a softgel or capsule, while others enjoy the flavor experience of our gummies. If you're looking for a fast-acting product, our drops are a great choice.
All products are full spectrum CBD containing trace amounts of THC. These trace amounts fall well below the established legal limits (<0.3% THC on a dry-weight basis), and are not intended to produce psychoactive effects.
With this said, we do not recommend the use of our products if you are subject to drug screenings for work or any other purpose, as we cannot guarantee a negative test result.
You do not need a medical card to purchase from us because our products are made from hemp and legal in all 50 states.
Our unflavored drops, capsules and softgels are all pet-friendly! These products contain only hemp and coconut oil/coconut-derived MCT oil.
If interested in incorporating CBD into your pet's routine, we do recommend speaking with your vet first.
Yes. Hemp derived CBD products, such as Sunsoil CBD, are legal in the United States.
There are no restrictions on flying with our products within the United States/domestically - just be sure to keep the product in the original packaging. We do not advise people to travel internationally with our products unless they have consulted with all appropriate authorities.
Please chat with a trusted doctor or health care provider for insight and advice on the safety of our product for your body and needs, or for any interactions with current medications or supplements taken, etc.
Our Process
LIPID INFUSION FOR EXTRACTION
We use lipid infusion because its simplicity preserves the purity and integrity of our plants. Lipids are naturally occurring molecules that form a group of compounds (fatty acids) and are insoluble in water. Common substances like coconut oil and olive oil are considered lipids. Lipid infusion is a straightforward, toxin-free process that uses heat and pressure to capture the full spectrum of our USDA certified organic hemp plants and their cannabinoids, terpenes and additional phytocompounds. Lipid infusion enables us to make high-quality, whole-plant hemp extract that is minimally processed and efficient – two qualities that help feed the core of Sunsoil’s mission.

We extract directly from the aerial parts of our hemp plants using organic coconut oil and coconut-derived MCT oil. We do not extract from the stems of our plants. Additionally, we make a whole plant, full spectrum extract – we do not isolate and reconstitute our cannabinoids.
Our hemp and full spectrum CBD oil is certified organic by the USDA. We farm organically and do not use pest control products on our crops at any point in the process. Our plants are rich in terpenes and cannabinoids that function as their own natural pest control.
No alcohol or any harsh solvents are ever used in our process and are not present in our products.
