Price Transparency: What You’re Really Paying For

Raw CBD Extract
The cost pyramid illustrates how raw CBD represents only a small portion of final retail price. Understanding each layer helps identify where you’re receiving value versus paying for marketing.
Raw Material Costs
High-quality CBD isolate costs approximately £3,000-£5,000 per kilogram at wholesale, whilst full-spectrum extracts command £5,000-£8,000. However, a typical capsule contains only 10-25mg CBD — meaning raw material represents just £0.03-£0.20 per capsule. This explains why dramatically different retail prices often contain similar CBD amounts.
Manufacturing and Testing
GMP-certified manufacturing facilities, quality-controlled encapsulation processes, and comprehensive third-party testing add legitimate costs. Rigorous testing runs £400-£800 per batch for full contamination screening. These expenses separate quality products from cheap alternatives, but represent relatively modest per-unit costs when amortised across thousands of capsules.
The Marketing Premium
Celebrity endorsements, glossy advertising campaigns, elaborate packaging, and retail markups often exceed all other costs combined. Premium brands may spend £10-£15 per bottle on marketing and brand positioning — significantly more than the CBD content costs. This doesn’t necessarily indicate inferior products, but consumers should recognize when they’re paying for brand image versus quality.
Spotting “Too Good to Be True” Deals
Products priced dramatically below market rates (under £0.50 per 10mg CBD equivalent) likely cut corners on quality, testing, or CBD content. Common cost-cutting measures include using CBD isolate marketed as full-spectrum, understating actual CBD content to appear better value, skipping comprehensive testing protocols, sourcing from unverified suppliers with questionable quality, or substituting hemp seed oil (CBD-free) for actual CBD extract.
Conversely, premium prices (over £3.00 per 10mg CBD equivalent) should correlate with demonstrable quality factors: organic certification, extensive testing beyond basic requirements, added high-quality ingredients with proven benefits, sophisticated formulations for enhanced bioavailability, or exceptional customer service and education. Without these justifications, high prices merely reflect marketing expenditure.
