CBD oil is one of the most popular hemp products in Europe in 2025. At CBDshoppen™, we exclusively offer premium CBD oil from EU-certified industrial hemp – always legal, laboratory-tested, and transparent. Here you get the complete overview: how CBD oil is produced, the difference between full-spectrum and broad-spectrum, the legality in Denmark and the EU, as well as how to use the oil correctly.
What is CBD oil?
CBD oil is a plant-based oil extracted from industrial hemp. The active ingredient is cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a high but is known for its wide range of applications in wellness, relaxation, and well-being.
How is CBD oil produced?
There are several methods to produce CBD oil, but the most common in the EU are:
- CO2 extraction: The most advanced method, where supercritical CO2 extracts cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant. Guarantees high purity and quality.
- Ethanol extraction: Uses food-grade alcohol to extract CBD. Cheaper, but requires additional purification.
- Oil infusion: Hemp flowers are placed directly in a carrier oil (often olive or hemp seed oil). An older method, but still used on a small scale.
Full-spectrum vs. broad-spectrum oil
There are different types of CBD oil on the market:
- Full-spectrum CBD oil: Contains all natural cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids from the hemp – including a legal amount of THC (<0.2 %).
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil: Contains all cannabinoids and terpenes, but THC is completely removed. Good for those who want to avoid THC.
- CBD Isolate: Pure CBD in crystal or powder form dissolved in oil. Contains no other cannabinoids or terpenes.
Is CBD oil legal in Denmark and the EU?
Yes – as long as the CBD oil comes from EU-certified industrial hemp and has a THC content below 0.2 %. In Denmark and the rest of the EU, CBD oil is therefore legal as a decorative collectible / potpourri. All products at CBDshoppen™ comply with applicable EU legislation and are laboratory-tested to document legality.
How do you take CBD oil?
CBD oil is typically used in 3 ways:
- Sublingually (under the tongue): The most common method – the oil is dropped under the tongue for faster absorption.
- Mixed in food or drink: Some prefer to mix the oil into smoothies, juice, or tea. Absorbs more slowly.
- Topically (on the skin): CBD oil can be massaged into the skin as part of a wellness routine.
Note: At CBDshoppen™, the products are sold as collectibles/potpourri, not as dietary supplements or medicine. Use is at your own risk.
