The Bottom Line
The underlying mantra of Zadaka is giving back to the community, to the earth, and to its customers. They are a CBD company that uses sustainable, pesticide free farms in Oregon, and partners with nonprofits which plant trees to respect and replenish the earth. As much as we know about their mission, there is little information about the company’s team members, however.
They create broad spectrum CBD using CO2 extraction. Although the company third party tests their products, they only do so in spot testing twice per year. Plus, they test all of their incoming raw hemp materials. When we looked at the available third party testing results, we found that the CBD variance is higher than the acceptable 10% in many cases.
An area where Zadaka shines is in its price point. Their CBD tinctures are very affordable and offer competitive pricing, ranging from $0.05 to $0.06 per mg of CBD, which is lower than average. On the downside, their product line is limited, offering only CBD oil tinctures and topicals at this time.

Methodology
Data Collection and Rating
In our review process, we receive CBD products directly from the brand to personally review ourselves, so we can give you an accurate idea of the packaging, potency, taste, smell, feel, and overall experience of each product. We also discuss the company’s shipping and returns policy.
Another important step we take is reviewing each individual product for details such as the certificate of analysis to assess the CBD level and CBD variance, THC level, and contaminants.
We take all factors into account and give each CBD brand and each CBD product a score for each parameter.
All of the information we collect is generated into a concise, easy to read review and put into our extensive database. Keep in mind, our reviews are never intended to substitute or act as medical advice.
Product DataBase
Our database collects key information for each product, including CBD product prices, potencies, third-party lab test results, flavors, additional ingredients, hemp quality, extract types, product variety, and more.
We then use all of this combined data to give each brand and product a standardized rating out of five points.
Brand Review Process
There are many factors we consider when we review the quality, integrity and products of a CBD brand. We rate each brand on several factors including:
- Transparency & accuracy. It is important that a CBD brand is forthcoming with who makes up their team, their mission, manufacturing process, and lab reports. Also, we look for the accuracy of the CBD and THC levels in the products’ lab reports.
- Hemp quality. Hemp quality can be a deciding factor between a good CBD brand and a great CBD brand. We look for organic and sustainable farming methods with attention to detail in each manufacturing step.
- The variety of products they offer. We like to see several CBD product types and flavors.
- Customer service. It is essential that each CBD company has multiple ways to connect to customer service to ask questions. We look for speedy and complete responses.
- Price and discounts. Competitive pricing is an important aspect of being a top-rated CBD brand. We also look for discount options and ways to save on your order.
Market Reports
Another way Leafreport stands out from other CBD review websites is our evidence-based market reports. For each one, we purchase different types of CBD products and send them for independent lab testing to check whether their levels of CBD and other cannabinoids match the label.
Information Updates
Writers and editors conduct our reviews and our database on an annual basis but continually make updates throughout the year. We maintain frequent contact with brands and highlight any changes in offerings.
The Review Team
Our review team is made up of a wide chain of qualified CBD review writers, some with medical degrees, some with statistics backgrounds, others with ample experience in the CBD arena. Each and every one of our CBD reviews are approved by our medical reviewer before being published on our website to ensure all information is accurate.
Conflicts of Interest
While Leafreport does have partnerships with many of the reviewed brands, we manage potential conflicts of interest by maintaining a wall between our content and business operations. This wall is designed to prevent our writers and the review process from being influenced or impacted by our business partnerships. This way, all reviews can provide an unbiased review that serves the interests of our users.
About the Company
Zadaka is a CBD company that is all about giving back. It’s name is derived from “tzedakah” which means “righteousness.” Their mission is to give back to their customers by creating high quality CBD products with transparency and affordability, all while upholding their social responsibility of giving back to the environment and community. Ways that they give back include their partnership with Eden Reforestation who plant trees in deforested areas around the globe. Unfortunately, they do not discuss who makes up the company’s team, or who the founders are.
To contact Zadaka, they provide a message box on their contact page, but do not provide a physical address, or phone number on there. In very small print in the footer, you can find their phone number and address located in Los Angeles, California.
The Zadaka website has an abundance of information about CBD and more. The FAQ page details general information about CBD, what to expect, and FAQ about the company. Plus, they also have a page dedicated to all of the synergist ingredients they use in their product formulations which provides more info on these herbal ingredients. For a deeper dive into the science of CBD, Zadaka has an information hub page as well. Lastly, they have a page with numerous scientific research articles on CBD.
To assess their product’s quality, purity, and potency, they third party test their products. You can find the results on the product’s page when shopping. We assessed the results for our Calm CBD Tincture of 333 mg. There was only one lab report available, and no batch numbers to match up. The results show no detectable THC and 398mg of CBD which is 65mg more than listed for a CBD variance of 20%. This variance is outside the acceptable 10% CBD variance. There were no contaminant testing results.
Manufacturing Process
Zadaka utilizes hemp grown on small hemp farms in southern Oregon that practice sustainable and organic farming. To extract the CBD, they use supercritical CO2 extraction which pulls out the array of cannabinoids, terpene oils and waxes found in the hemp plant. They do third party test their products, however, there are no batch numbers on their products to match up to the results, and there are no contaminant results.
Their CBD products are broad spectrum, which means they contain the synergistic cannabinoids , minus THC. Each product is formulated with other herbal ingredients, including chamomile, ashwagandha, and holy basil, which are intended for specific purposes like stress or pain relief. Keep in mind, these uses are not FDA approved.
Zadaka offers CBD oils and topicals along with some merchandise like t-shirts and hats. They do not offer pet products, vape products, edibles, or capsules at this time.

Buying Experience
Overall, the Zadaka website is very easy to use to find information as well as shop on. All of their products are available under the “shop” tab and categorized by product type (oils, topicals or merchandise). They have free shipping for orders over $75 and for orders under $75, there is a $5 flat shipping rate. After you place an order, it takes 1 to 2 days to confirm and then 4 to 5 days to receive your product via First Class USPS.
Our shipment arrived in 4 days in a brown cardboard box with the Zadaka name and logo on top. It did not say “CBD” on the box, however. The packaging is discrete unless a person is familiar with the brand and knows it is a CBD company. Inside, our products were cushioned with shredded cardboard.
If you are unhappy with your order, you have 14 days to contact customer service and return your unopened or defective product.
We contacted customer service via their email box to ask how we can be assured that the third party results online are for our specific products, as there is no batch number on the bottles. After close to a week we reached out again and received a detailed and lengthy response. They do not test every batch of their product for CBD, THC, and contaminants due to cost. They do however spot test their products twice per year via third party testing. They also assess their raw hemp materials for CBD and THC content.
Products Reviewed

This bundle sells for $74.99 and has 1665mg of CBD total. This means each mg of CBD costs $0.04.
