CBD Oil FAQ
What is the difference between CBD tincture and oil?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, there’s a key difference. A traditional CBD tincture is made by using alcohol to extract cannabinoids from the cannabis plant. At Penguin Method, we use a cleaner CO₂ extraction method and blend the resulting extract with a carrier oil, typically organic MCT oil. This makes our product a true CBD-infused oil, not an alcohol-based tincture.
Where is your CBD sourced from?
Sourcing is essential when it comes to CBD products. At Penguin Method, all of our hemp comes from farms in Oregon. We chose this state due to the quality of its soil, as well as its high regulatory standards for cultivation and testing.
What is a carrier oil?
A carrier oil refers to the oil that the CBD gets mixed with. For our products, we use a coconut-based MCT oil. We choose it because it has a high solubility rate for maximum absorption. Additionally, it has very little noticeable taste aside from the flavoring we add.
What makes broad-spectrum better than CBD isolate?
CBD isolate contains only the CBD and nothing else. Meanwhile, broad-spectrum extracts contain all the additional cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC, etc.), as well as other beneficial terpenes and compounds. Together, they work to create an “entourage effect” and make the CBD more effective.
Why is Penguin the best CBD oil on the market?
There are many reasons why Penguin offers the best Cannabinoid-rich oil in the market right now. The most important reason of all is that we ensure the highest quality across all steps of production. First, we make sure that our hemp is grown without the use of any harmful toxins, such as chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We then utilize the latest CO2 extraction equipment to extract all the beneficial cannabinoids (not just CBD, but also CBN, CBG, and CBC) for our products. Finally, we ensure that every batch is lab-tested by a trustworthy and accredited independent third party.

Talk to a Professional
While many find relief from anxiety, inflammation, and other conditions, it’s always wise to consult with your healthcare provider, especially if you're managing ongoing health conditions or taking medication.
Take the proper dosage.
CBD dosage is customized and individualized. It depends on many factors, including the reason for use, weight, and your body's metabolism. For this reason, if you take a low dose, it may not work. Use the method highlighted in the usage and concentration section to guide you so that you can pinpoint the dosage that works for you.
Failure to give it enough time
If you are sure that the oil you purchased is of high quality, the problem may be that you aren't giving the product enough time. Generally, it depends on how you consume the CBD-infused oil. Some methods, such as taking it sublingually, may work faster than ingesting it orally. Don't get tempted to overindulge. Give it a few hours before trying again.
How long will it take to get my CBD oil?
Typically, orders are delivered within 2-5 business days. All of our orders are processed the same day if placed before noon EST.
