The Bottom Line
Green Lotus has a single source for their certified organic, full spectrum hemp, and it is located in Joes, Colorado. They are a premium CBD brand, based on the quality of their hemp, the accuracy of their product labeling and corresponding third party lab test potency results, and the variety of products and potencies offered.
Green Lotus publishes the quality and potency for each product directly under their “Lab Results” link. Before purchase, a customer knows the precise potency for each desired product. The accuracy variances for these products are all well below the 10% variance allowed. Products, however, were not tested for standard solvents, heavy metals, or pesticides, so the products in this order did not show the results for all standard CBD purity tests. Green Lotus CBD products did pass testing for all microbial contaminants, such as pathogens and molds.
They carry a wider range of CBD potencies and more delivery methods than comparable brands, offering full spectrum products from 60 mg to 1500 mg. Their product catalog includes CBD gummies, topicals, tinctures, vape cartridges, pre-rolled joints, softgels, and a pet tincture that is recommended for use qn dogs or cats.
Their prices range from $14.95 up to $149.95, which equals a low $.06 per mg for pre-rolls and $.08 to $.09 per mg for softgels. In the moderate price range, their tinctures cost $.09 to $.19 per mg, and their gummies are approximately $.20 per mg. However, they do have a higher than average price point on their topicals at $.22 per mg of CBD.
Overall, the average price point at Green Lotus is $.16 per mg, meaning that they do offer higher priced CBD products than other comparable brands in the market. They offer free shipping on every purchase, regardless of minimum, and a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee on all products.

Methodology
Data Collection and Rating
In our review process, we receive CBD products directly from the brand to personally review ourselves, so we can give you an accurate idea of the packaging, potency, taste, smell, feel, and overall experience of each product. We also discuss the company’s shipping and returns policy.
Another important step we take is reviewing each individual product for details such as the certificate of analysis to assess the CBD level and CBD variance, THC level, and contaminants.
We take all factors into account and give each CBD brand and each CBD product a score for each parameter.
All of the information we collect is generated into a concise, easy to read review and put into our extensive database. Keep in mind, our reviews are never intended to substitute or act as medical advice.
Product DataBase
Our database collects key information for each product, including CBD product prices, potencies, third-party lab test results, flavors, additional ingredients, hemp quality, extract types, product variety, and more.
We then use all of this combined data to give each brand and product a standardized rating out of five points.
Brand Review Process
There are many factors we consider when we review the quality, integrity and products of a CBD brand. We rate each brand on several factors including:
- Transparency & accuracy. It is important that a CBD brand is forthcoming with who makes up their team, their mission, manufacturing process, and lab reports. Also, we look for the accuracy of the CBD and THC levels in the products’ lab reports.
- Hemp quality. Hemp quality can be a deciding factor between a good CBD brand and a great CBD brand. We look for organic and sustainable farming methods with attention to detail in each manufacturing step.
- The variety of products they offer. We like to see several CBD product types and flavors.
- Customer service. It is essential that each CBD company has multiple ways to connect to customer service to ask questions. We look for speedy and complete responses.
- Price and discounts. Competitive pricing is an important aspect of being a top-rated CBD brand. We also look for discount options and ways to save on your order.
Market Reports
Another way Leafreport stands out from other CBD review websites is our evidence-based market reports. For each one, we purchase different types of CBD products and send them for independent lab testing to check whether their levels of CBD and other cannabinoids match the label.
Information Updates
Writers and editors conduct our reviews and our database on an annual basis but continually make updates throughout the year. We maintain frequent contact with brands and highlight any changes in offerings.
The Review Team
Our review team is made up of a wide chain of qualified CBD review writers, some with medical degrees, some with statistics backgrounds, others with ample experience in the CBD arena. Each and every one of our CBD reviews are approved by our medical reviewer before being published on our website to ensure all information is accurate.
Conflicts of Interest
While Leafreport does have partnerships with many of the reviewed brands, we manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining a wall between our content and business operations. This wall is designed to prevent our writers and the review process from being influenced or impacted by our business partnerships. This way, all reviews can provide an unbiased review that serves the interests of our users.
About the Company
Established in 2016, Green Lotus is a premium hemp derived CBD brand that was founded in Texas by natives of the state and is veteran owned. According to the company, the diverse Green Lotus team is dedicated to promoting a world “where the healing power of hemp is accessible to all people.” In addition to their original headquarters in Texas, which is their largest office, Green Lotus also has a newer second location in Colorado.
The mission of Green Lotus is to cultivate and create all natural, organic CBD products that serve as natural remedies. Since the founding of Green Lotus in 2016, their product formulators have reportedly continued to research and explore new ways to improve how their CBD products are made, according to the company website.
Transparency
Customers of this brand will immediately notice that official lab results are visible directly on every product page online, labeled by batch number:
They also publish all third party test results on their centralized “Lab Results” page.
Independent CBD testing is an important quality and safety control measure to ensure that the labeled potency of CBD and THC matches the contents of the final product. According to the company, Green Lotus conducts independent third party lab testing for all of their products at least three times before final sale.
In addition, this company also tests all products through OneCert, a USDA accredited organic certification lab, to validate the purity and potency of their premium organic CBD products. These products passed testing for pathogens, but the purity test results for solvents and pesticides were missing on the Green Lotus lab reports at this time.
Accuracy
The test results were easy to match to the batch numbers on the Green Lotus labels, using the convenient “Lab Results” link. Customers can also scan the QR code on the product label.
The lab report for my batch of their 750 mg softgels had a 4% variance in CBD with 719.7 total mg, and a non-detectable THC level. There were 47.9 mg of CBD per serving size of 2 softgels, or a 50 mg dose. The 250 mg CBD gummies tested at 271.9 total mg of CBD, or 10.87 mg per serving size of 1 gummy, which represents an 8.76% variance. Their topical ‘Solace’ cream was labeled at 100 mg. The lab reports showed a negligible 0.4% variance in CBD content at 99.6 total mg.
The products tested a;; proved to contain 0% THC, as clearly advertised. In addition, all products checked for CBD accuracy are well under the 10% variance allowed, and they passed testing for microbial contaminants and other pathogens. To the best of our current knowledge, these products were not tested for the common pesticides, solvents, or heavy metals.

Buying Experience
The ordering process was fairly easy on the Green Lotus website, but the website can be a bit tricky for the novice CBD consumer with the company’s various product line names: Anytime, Day, Night, and Relief. Each product choice leads to further selections before consumers can put a product into the cart or choose between a one time purchase or a discounted recurring monthly subscription plan.
There is a user friendly main menu, and a “Shop CBD Products” link that gives customers direct access to the entire product catalog at one time without having to click on separate links. Each product page provides comprehensive product information for each item, as well as suggested uses. Green Lotus also offers their unique “Product Finder” tool to help consumers find the CBD delivery method and potency that best suits them:

CBD Orange Tincture, 125 mg, 30 ml review
This full spectrum oral or sublingual tincture is pale yellow in appearance and nearly translucent, with a typical tincture viscosity. It is not messy and does not drip down during administration. There are no measuring marks on the dropper, however, but one full dropper equals a 1 ml serving size of CBD, according to the company. This product undergoes a supercritical CO2 extraction process.
The taste is refreshing and has a fruity, fresh orange flavor, with subtle undertones of other citrus. The company recommends that consumers hold this sublingual full spectrum tincture under the tongue for at least 30 seconds before swallowing normally. There was no grassy or herbal aftertaste.
This product was tested for potency, as well as for pathogens and other microbial agents. According to the posted lab report, however, this tincture was not tested for other standard purity categories, such as heavy metals or pesticides.
CBD Softgels, 750 mg, 25 mg each, 30 count review
For this product, the company’s recommended serving size is 1 softgel at a time, with a maximum daily dose of 2 softgels, or 50 mg of CBD. The lab report had a 4% variance in CBD with 719.7 total mg, and a 0% THC level. There were 47.9 mg per serving size of 2 softgels, or per nominal 50 mg dose, and a non-detectable 0% THC level was found, as clearly advertised on the labels. These are recommended for oral use only.
These full spectrum softgels are medium sized and light yellow in color. They are oval in shape and have a traditional softgel consistency. They are CO2 extracted using a supercritical process, and are coated for easy swallowing.
This product was well under the 10% accuracy limit, and it passed testing for microbial contaminants and other pathogens. It was not tested for additional contaminants, to the best of our knowledge.
CBD Pet Tincture, 100 mg, 30 ml review
This full spectrum oral pet tincture has a somewhat thicker viscosity than the other CBD tinctures. It is a very pale yellow color and looks almost clear in appearance.
One filled dropper equals a 1 ml serving size of CBD, but there are no visible measuring marks. The company has clear instructions on the label concerning serving size, based on pet weight and pet type.
Green Lotus claims that this CO2 extracted pet tincture is formulated especially for pets, and is tested by Analytical 360 Laboratory. While potency tests were confirmed for this full spectrum product by Green Lotus, purity tests for some potential contaminants were not performed, according to our knowledge.
CBD Topical Solace Cream with Celadrin, 100 mg, 3 oz review
Each serving size or dollop of ½ teaspoon of this topical full spectrum product contains approximately 1.5 mg of CBD, as noted by the company, and there are a total of 60 doses in the 100 mg product. Their 100 mg topical ‘Solace’ cream showed a negligible 0.4% variance in CBD content on the lab reports, at 99.6 total mg of CBD. This is well under the 10% acceptable accuracy variance.
There was a non-detectable 0% THC level, and to the best of our knowledge, these products were not tested for the standard pesticides, solvents, or heavy metals, according to the reports available online. This white cream has a traditional lotion type texture and a thin viscosity for a topical product.
CBD Wild Berry Gummies, 250 mg, 10 mg each, 25 count review
The company suggested serving size for this full spectrum CBD product is 1 gummy containing 10 mg of CBD per piece. The labeled 250 mg CBD gummies tested at 271.9 total mg of CBD, or 10.87 mg per gummy, which is a 8.76% variance. A non-detectable level of 0% THC was verified, and this product is under the acceptable 10% CBD variance.
These edible gummies are cube shaped and burgundy red in color. There are additional organic cane sugar crystals on the outside. The gummies tasted like fresh, tart berries, and were not overly sweet. They have a traditional firm gummy texture.
This product passed testing for microbial contaminants and other pathogens, but these CO2 extracted gummies were not tested for common pesticides, solvents, or heavy metals, according to the lab reports available at this time.
