Introduction
Faced with the diversity of hemp-based products, many consumers wonder: what is a full-spectrum CBD oil ? This term, often found on labels, refers to an oil derived from a whole-plant extract of the hemp plant , in which all the natural active components are preserved.
At La Ferme Médicale , we've chosen full-spectrum oil because it most closely reflects the plant's natural complexity. But what exactly does that mean? How does it differ from other oils? And how can we guarantee that this oil remains compliant, stable, and traceable? Here are all the answers.
Definition: What is a full-spectrum CBD oil?
H3 – An oil containing all the components of hemp
Full -spectrum CBD oil is an oil containing:
-
CBD (cannabidiol), the dominant molecule
-
A legal trace of THC (< 0.3%, in accordance with French legislation)
-
Other cannabinoids present in the plant: CBG, CBC, CBN, etc.
-
Terpenes : natural aromatic substances
-
Flavonoids : natural plant antioxidants
This full spectrum is obtained through an extraction method that respects the integrity of the plant. Unlike CBD isolate-based oils, the molecules are not artificially separated: the natural composition is preserved.
What is the difference between full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate?
There are three main types of CBD oil, depending on their composition:
| Oil type | Composition | THC | Aromatic complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full spectrum | All the components of hemp | Yes (< 0.3%) | Rich |
| Broad spectrum | Everything except THC | No | Average |
| Isolate | Pure CBD (>99%) only | No | Low or none |
Why choose a full-spectrum oil?
Full-spectrum CBD oil offers a holistic view of the plant. It respects its natural biology , and its aromatic profile is much richer than that of an isolate. It is also distinguished by a greater stability of the effects felt , due to the natural interaction of its components.
At La Ferme Médicale, we only offer full spectrum oils, because we believe in the value of a product that is true to the original plant , without industrial processing.
How is a full-spectrum CBD oil made?
Step 1: Hemp cultivation
It all starts with the cultivation of certified hemp , without GMOs or chemicals. We grow our plants in Gironde, on monitored and controlled agricultural plots.
Step 2: Harvesting and drying
The flowers are harvested when ripe, then dried at low temperature to preserve the cannabinoids and terpenes.
Step 3: Laboratory extraction
The oil is then obtained through a gentle extraction using food-grade ethanol in our ISO 22000 certified laboratory located in the Landes region of France. This method allows us to capture:
-
CBD and other cannabinoids
-
Terpenes and flavonoids
-
Lightweight vegetable waxes (possibly filtered)
This process guarantees a high-quality full-spectrum CBD oil , without artificial additives or denaturation.
The legality of full spectrum in France
Is THC permitted in full-spectrum oils?
Yes, provided its concentration remains below 0.3% , in accordance with European regulations on industrial hemp. All our oils are tested in an independent laboratory to guarantee compliance with this threshold for each batch.
Does full-spectrum oil comply with French requirements?
Absolutely. We only use hemp varieties authorized in France. Our oils comply with French standards and have no psychoactive effects , as their THC content remains very low, with no impact on consciousness or driving.
What are the concrete advantages of the full spectrum?
Even without mentioning any therapeutic claims, one can describe the structural advantages of a full-spectrum CBD oil, compared to other forms of extracts.
A composition closer to the plant
-
Richer in active ingredients
-
Improved product stability
-
More authentic flavor (vegetal taste, herbaceous notes)
-
Complete profile of naturally occurring cannabinoids
A more authentic, less processed product
Full-spectrum CBD oil avoids the heavy purification and reconstitution processes of the product. It is therefore often perceived as more "raw," but more authentic , closer to the plant's natural state.
How can you recognize a quality full spectrum CBD oil?
Not all products claiming to be “full spectrum” are created equal. Here are the objective criteria to check to ensure quality:
-
✅ Lab analysis available, with a complete cannabinoid profile
-
✅ Explicit mention of THC < 0.3%
-
✅ Traceable hemp origin (certified France or Europe)
-
✅ Gentle extraction method (CO₂ or food-grade ethanol)
-
✅ Clear and compliant labeling
-
✅ No medical claims or exaggerated effects
At La Ferme Médicale , each bottle comes with a QR code that gives you access to the complete certificate of analysis, for total transparency.
Why we chose the full spectrum
Loyalty to the plant
Full spectrum allows us to respect our artisanal and ethical vision of CBD: to offer a complete, authentic and local extract, without altering the natural richness of hemp.
Production Integrity
Because we control the entire chain (cultivation, extraction, packaging), we are able to produce a stable, compliant, and reproducible full-spectrum oil in every batch.
