What’s the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum, and CBD isolate oil?

Modified on: 19/06/2026

The three differ by which fraction of the hemp plant ends up in the bottle. Full spectrum CBD oil contains the complete cannabinoid and terpene profile of the source hemp, including trace THC under the 0.3% EU-harmonised threshold. Broad spectrum CBD oil contains the cannabinoid and terpene profile minus THC, removed during processing while the rest of the natural compounds stay in. CBD isolate oil contains only purified CBD (typically above 99% purity) blended with the carrier, with no other cannabinoids and no terpenes. The choice depends on whether you want the full hemp aromatic profile, the same complexity without THC, or a near-neutral signature focused on the cannabinoid alone.
