If you want to make CBD Oil at home, keep reading to learn our exact process. Or, if you prefer high-quality, lab-tested, premium CBD products, you can buy directly from USA Medical. Let’s dive into the recipe for making CBD Oil at home.

CBD Oil Recipe

Ingredients

• Raw USDA Organic CBD Distillate
• Raw USDA Organic CBD Isolate
• Organic MCT Oil (from coconut oil)
• USDA Organic Hemp Seed Oil
• USDA Organic Orange Oil

Equipment You’ll Need

• Laboratory Accurate (.001) Gram Scale
• Bottler (for filling bottles)
• Heating unit (double boiler)
• Gloves
• Masks
• Lab coat
• Hair net

Directions

Step 1: Create the Carrier Oil Base

Combine MCT, hemp seed, and orange oil for the base. This blend provides essential omega 3,  6, and  9 fatty acids, which promote heart health, metabolism, and immunity. This antibacterial and antifungal combination ensures a high-quality, health-supportive carrier oil.

Step 2: Heat the Distillates

Using the double boiler or heating unit, heat the CBD distillate and CBG distillate to about 160°F (or their precise melting point). Stir occasionally to ensure the distillates are fully liquefied.

Step 3: Combine the Carrier Oil and Distillates

Use your gram scale to measure the exact quantities of the carrier oils and distillates. Carefully combine the melted distillates with the carrier oil mixture, stirring thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended.

Step 4: Shake for Dissolution

Shake the mixture vigorously to ensure everything dissolves evenly. You can either use a machine for consistent shaking or shake it manually—shake it well! Allow the mixture to dissolve for 24 hours. USA Medical uses a heatless dissolve process to prevent oil degradation, but you can use low heat to speed up the process if needed.

Step 5: Final Shake and Bottling

After 24 hours, give the mixture one final shake to ensure it’s fully homogenized. Use the bottler to fill your bottles—each bottle holds 30 mL (or approximately 28 grams).

Step 6: Label and Box

Once bottled, label your products with the appropriate information. Store them in a cool, dark place to maintain the oil’s quality.

Yield Calculation

With each batch, USA Medical produces about 7,000 grams of CBD Oil. Given that each bottle holds 28 grams, this recipe will yield approximately 250 bottles per batch.

This recipe ensures you produce premium-quality CBD Oil using top-tier ingredients. If you’d rather skip the process and go straight to high-quality CBD Oil, feel free to browse our products at USA Medical.

Is It Possible to Make CBD Oil at Home?

However, creating high-quality, safe CBD Oil that meets the same standards as USA Medical requires significant investment in tools, raw materials, and safety measures.

While you don’t necessarily need a certified laboratory to make CBD Oil, achieving the same potency, purity, and consistency as professional-grade CBD products requires advanced equipment, precise measurements, and lab testing. At USA Medical, we take care of this process for you, ensuring that every product meets GMP standards, undergoes third-party lab testing, and is crafted from USDA organic hemp extracts.

Extracting CBD at Home: Pros and Cons

If you’re considering growing your hemp to extract CBD, there are several factors to consider. USA Medical grows hemp on USDA organic farms, ensuring our crops are free from pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals. Growing your hemp may seem appealing, but it comes with challenges—especially concerning the purity of your soil.

Even if you avoid synthetic chemicals, the soil may contain heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, which the hemp plant naturally absorbs. Without USDA organic certification, there’s no guarantee that your crop will be free from contaminants. This is why we recommend trusting USA Medical for your CBD needs—we do the hard work of cultivating pure, clean hemp to ensure the highest product safety.

Pros of Making CBD Oil at Home

• Complete control over the ingredients and process
• Opportunity to experiment with flavor and potency
• Potential cost savings if you have access to raw materials

Cons of Making CBD Oil at Home

• High initial investment in equipment and raw materials
• Requires precise measurements and professional tools
• Time-consuming process for dissolving and bottling
• Risk of contamination from heavy metals without certified organic soil
• Lack of lab testing means no guarantee of safety or potency

Making your CBD Oil may sound exciting, but the potential pitfalls—especially contamination and lack of testing—make it risky. At USA Medical, we’ve refined our process to eliminate those risks, delivering safe, lab-tested CBD Oil without the hassle.

Use Tested Products!

When it comes to your health, there’s no room for guesswork. USA Medical products are third-party tested, ensuring they meet the highest purity, potency, and safety standards. We handle the entire process—from farming to extraction to bottling—so you can enjoy premium CBD Oil without the effort.
