During this time of Zoom-fatigue, remote-work-fatigue and plain ol' fatigue-fatigue, we're sure you've been just a tad unsettled by the continual collision of home life and work. Perhaps you're considering trying something when you can't fall asleep, or to help settle your stress so you can focus during your day.
You might have noticed the recent glut of wellness ads flying by on your social media feeds. But how can you find a trustworthy, high-quality oil brand that actually works for you?
Full-spectrum oil has been known to have beneficial qualities and can help alleviate inflammation and soothe aches and pains while promoting a sense of calm. (Remember calm?)
The market's flooded with expensive full-sprectum powders, supplements, tinctures, oils, even pet treats, so it's easy to feel overwhelmed by what you don't know.
And with an industry as over-saturated as this one, it can be difficult for curious consumers to land on a trusted brand. So we are breaking down our top two companies with the highest quality product offering: Feals and Charlotte's Web.
Key Similarities
- Both contain only minimal amounts of the mind-altering component found in the plant— neither product will get you high
- Both use full-spectrum oil sourced in the USA
- Both use full-spectrum, whole-plant extracts
- Both use third-party certification for their products
- Both have subscription options and money-back guarantees (with the ability to pause or cancel at any time)
Key Differences
- Charlotte's Web oils come in flavors like Lemon Twist and Mint chocolate that we found to be very synthetic, whereas Feals oil has a natural and subtle taste
- Feals offers oils exclusively — so they're focused completely on perfecting this one product (oil is the best and fastest way to feel the benefits)
- Feals arrives on your doorstep in 3-5 days, while some CW customer reviews have reported delivery delays
- The Feals Flight, that includes 3 different strengths, allows you to figure out your perfect dosage before committing to a full-sized bottle
- Feals subscribers receive 30% discounts on products - where CW only offers a discount of 5%
- Charlotte's Web website offers a variety of products, like creams and balms
Feals Overview
Feals uses full-spectrum oils extracted from the plant and puts them in groovy, easy-to- use orange bottles. Feals hand-harvest plants from family-owned farms in Oregon and Colorado and blends it with a USDA-certified, organic MCT oil — a fat-burning, metabolism-revving superfood that maximizes it's bioavailability throughout your body.
But the wins don't stop there. Fealsuse pressurized CO2 to draw the oil from the plant so their products are pure, potent, and free of chlorophyll and harmful chemicals.
A neat thing about Feals is The Flight — an awesome sampler that includes three different doses: 40MG, 80MG, and 160MGs. It allows you to try different dosage levels to find your sweet spot for only $20 before committing to a full-sized bottle. This is perfect if you're new to the world of plant-based wellness, or you have product fatigue after trying one too many disappointing products.
We really like that Feals' awesome customer care includes email, a live chat feature on their site, and the Feals Hotline where someone is available to answer your questions on weekdays.
Feals are straight-up transparent and quite effective. Overall, a super experience.

Charlotte's Web Overview
Charlotte's Web offers a vast array of plant-based oil options in every form for every ailment — full-spectrum oils, capsules, gummies, topicals, even calming products for dogs. However, too much of a good thing can suck. Seriously, you know you're in trouble when there's a "Product Finder" tab!
CW produces ful-spectrum oil in different concentrations, and they supervise the production process from seed to finished product. The product is manufactured in small batches using CO2 extraction. Each batch may have a different color depending on its source. Charlotte's Web doesn't add colors to standardize the look of their products.
All Charlotte's Web plant-based oils are full-spectrum, grown in America, eliminating low quality, toxin-laden components and are U.S. Authority tested and certified.
Prices — especially for the higher potency full-spectrum oils — are relatively high, and may pose a challenge for some people. However, there are discounts for buying in bulk.
Finally, Charlotte's Web customer service could do with some improvement. And you should know that sometimes their products can take 13 - 20 days to arrive.
Final Notes
Both brands are offering high-quality options in a marketplace that is crowded with cheap and ineffective products. But our pick for the top plant-based product is Feals. While there is a lot we like about Charlotte's Web, there's something to be said for simplicity. Full-Spectrum oil doesn't have to be, and shouldn't be, overcomplicated. And Feals has identified this demand for an easy to use, effective solution and created the perfect range of products.
With The Flight, you can try it before you buy it, risk-free at $20. Feals truly is a better way to feel better. Plus, if you sign up for their membership, you get 30% off your order, every month.
