Which ICARIA’s CBD oil to choose?
The effects of all ICARIA’s CBD oils are the exact same, so it’s best to make your choice based on your preferred flavour, budget and concentration.
We also have topical CBD products and a pet CBD oil – all very easy to choose from since they are very different in their function.
CBD oils are also easy to pick from:
– Most popular product is THEIA 500mg or 1500mg – no flavour and a regular concentration.
– Would you like tasteless CBD or hemp flavoured CBD? All of our CBD oils are made with no added flavours other than APHRODITE line that has hemp oil added.
– Would you like Full Spectrum or Isolate? (read about the difference here) We only have one full spectrum product THEIA FS, the rest are made with isolate.
– Are you usually sensitive to supplements? Then go for our lightest concentration THEIA LIGHT. Have you been taking CBD oil for a while and want a stronger oil? Then go for our highest concentration HARMONIA.
– Still don’t know where to start? They try our Beginner Bundle.
I am taking CBD oil for the first time, where do I even start?
We have a blog post made just for you! Please read it HERE.
How do I take CBD oil?
The best way to take it is sublingually or under the tongue.
If you are taking CBD oil for the first time, take 5-10 drops under the tongue and hold for 90 seconds. Wait for 20 minutes and if you don’t feel the desired effect then repeat the steps until you find the right dosage for you. Since every body is different and everyone has a different metabolism, everyone needs a different dosage. Learn more HERE.
How much CBD oil should I take?
We are all unique and will need a different amount of CBD, for that reason it takes some time to figure out the dosage that works for you but it is simpler than it sounds. Please use our complete guide here, you will also get a Dosage Journal with your order.
Where is ICARIA’s CBD oil made?
ICARIA’s CBD products are made in Vancouver, BC. All our products are made from organically grown North American hemp.
Can I get high from taking CBD oil?
No, you cannot get high from taking CBD Oil made from isolate, which contains 0.00% THC, or full spectrum CBD, which has less than 0.3% THC. Read about common myths about CBD oil HERE.
How does CBD oil taste?
Our APHRODITE line is made with hemp seed oil so it has a very similar taste to hemp seeds, which is a nutty and earthy taste. Our THEIA line is made with only MCT coconut oil so it doesn’t have any flavour.
How does CBD oil look?
Our APHRODITE line is similar in colour to your regular hemp oil, so greenish-yellow, clear oil. Our THEIA line has no colour and is fully transparent.
Can men take ICARIA’s oils?
Absolutely! Men love ICARIA’s CBD oils too, just check out the bottom of the Review Page!
How soon do I feel the effect?
Times will differ, but in general, you should feel the effects within 20-30 minutes, and they last for 6-8 hours on average. If you swallow the drops right away, it might take up to an hour to be digested and absorbed. Learn more HERE.

How do I use the dropper for accurate dosing?
This is a common question that we get from clients and there are a few ways you can use the dropper for precision.
The first thing that you can do is to go in front of a mirror and watch as you place the drops one by one under your tongue.
The second thing that you can do without a mirror is to place the drops onto a spoon first before putting them under the tongue.
In addition, there are measurements on the dropper so you can also select the amount you want to take if you do not have a spoon or mirror close by.
Measuring the drops exactly is important if you are still trying to figure out your optimal dose and using our Dosage Journal for tracking.
We include a Dosage Journal with every order to make this process even easier!
