BRAND
★★★★★
Their mission is worthwhile: to make personal wellness a ritual rather than a chore, to deliver the highest quality ingredients, and to bring a sense of calm to people’s lives. Lord Jones founders seek to de-stigmatize and normalize CBD use with transparency and consumer education. Socially conscious customers will appreciate their lack of animal testing.
Who Is Lord Jones?
Lord Jones was co-founded by married couple Cindy Capobianco and Robert Rosenheck. After moving their successful fashion and creative careers from New York City to LA, they found many sketchy marijuana dispensaries that had inconsistent quality and a lack of ingredient transparency.
Their mission is now to de-stigmatize, normalize, and educate people around the world about the medicinal benefits of marijuana. This mission is informed by the years they spent operating a non-profit collective called Hollywood Hills Wellness, during which time they saw people with everything from chronic pain and autoimmune issues to AIDS, cancer, and more. Many of their clients were recovering from accidents or surgeries and often could not take opioids.
Wanting to create a product line more oriented to health and wellness, they created the Lord Jones brand using CBD (later including limited THC offerings) that consumers could trust. Their products use a“whole-plant” CBD extract. According to Capobianco, this “full-spectrum blend” is more efficient and effective than other extracts in relieving pain and anxiety, enhancing calmness, and stabilizing moods.
Now a favorite of celebrities and medical patients alike, Lord Jones CBD products are available online and in dispensaries, with options to address sore muscles, skin conditions, headaches, menstrual cramps, anxiety, and much more.

Lord Jones Testing Performance
Lord Jones offers a wide array of edible and topical CBD products. I chose to look at a section of their best-sellers, including both edibles and topical.
I found all the edibles tested to be calming. The topicals mostly worked well too, to varying degrees.
The Old Fashioned Gumdrop Trio (83g, 2.93oz)
Unfortunately, the Lord Jones Old Fashioned Gumdrops were melted together into one big ball when they arrived. The supplied ice pack did not provide sufficient protection against Arizona summer heat.
They have a nice flavor (strawberry and lemon) and are calming. I ate one of the gumdrops every few days during the evening. They provided a nice way to wind down with their relaxing effects. Overall, I was happy with this product.
Gel Capsules (30 capsules)
I took one Lord Jones Gel Capsule every few days before bed. These provided the same calming and relaxed effect as the tincture, gumdrops and royal oil. This was my favorite of the four consumable products I tested.
Tincture (30ml, 1oz)
I took half a dropper of the Lord Jones Hemp-Derived Full Spectrum CBD Tincture (Peppermint Flavor) once a week before bed. It also provided a sense of calm like the royal oil and I slept well. However, my mouth was itchy for about 30 minutes each time I used it. It has a more pleasant flavor than the royal oil. Product works well; just be aware of possible side effects.
Royal Oil (15ml, .5oz)
I took half a dropper of the Lord Jones Royal Oil every few days before bed. It helped me feel very relaxed and calm, and I slept well. It has a mild but neutral taste. I found this product to work well.
Acid Mantle Repair Moisturizer (50ml, 1.69oz)
The Lord Jones Acid Mantle CBD Moisturizer exceptional. It is so thick, creamy, and luxurious that you only need a small drop to cover your entire face. It made my skin look and feel hydrated, smooth, natural and healthy, without being greasy or shiny. The Acid Mantle Repair is the best face moisturizer I’ve ever used…by a long shot. Love this product!
Heavy Duty Chill Balm (40g, 1.4oz)
I used the Lord Jones High CBD Formula Heavy Duty Chill Balm on my feet every other day. Its moisturizing effects almost completely healed the dry skin on my big toes that I’ve had for years. It is quite shiny-looking and goes on somewhat oily-feeling, so be sure of where you want to use it. I would suggest using it on severely dry areas that you won’t mind looking shiny until it absorbs. I am very impressed with the Chill Balm as a topical, although it did not provide a “calm sense of well-being” as advertised.
CBD Body Lotion (50ml, 1.69oz)
I used the Lord Jones CBD Body Lotion in the Signature Fragrance every day on my hands, arms, elbows, and shoulders. It works as well as any decent lotion, but the scent is overwhelming and unpleasant for me. Compared to the Acid Mantle Repair and the Chill Balm, I found this product to work reasonably well but am not overly enthusiastic about it.
Lip Balm (4.5g, .15oz)
I expected good things from the Lord Jones Whole Plant Formula CBD Lip Balm, but was underwhelmed. It does feel soothing on the lips and lasts quite a while before needing to reapply. However, after using it several times a day for two weeks, I saw no improvement to my chapped lips. At least for me, it did not deliver the promised “smooth lips.” The product is also so soft that it runs out very quickly and most likely only lasts a month or less.
Is Lord Jones Good Quality
The question of quality is particularly important for CBD products, given how often they are used to treat health conditions and to enhance well-being. Lord Jones effectively provides an elegant and effective option to so many other CBD/THC products that can often provide less-than-stellar consistency, let alone transparency.
Capobianco and Rosenheck set out to create a brand particularly focused on providing a consistent and high-quality experience. By using the best ingredients and a closely-regulated and tracked production process, as well as integrating all the founders’ experience in working with medical patients and health conditions, the Lord Jones brand consistently delivers on their mission to provide consistent and high quality.
The Lord Jones founders spent years researching both the cannabis industry and the plant itself. The result is an elegant and elevated brand with beautiful packaging, high quality formulations using the best cannabis and non-cannabis ingredients, and full manufacturing transparency (including the ability to track each product by lot code).
Is Lord Jones Worth It?
Some may find the prices a bit off-putting. Lord Jones definitely comes with a higher price point than many other CBD product lines.
On the other hand, the transparent production process, high-end cannabis and non-cannabis ingredients, and broad product line all work together to create consistency and offer options that many will find worth the higher price point. People who use CBD not just for mood enhancement but also for chronic pain, severe health conditions, or deep anxiety will particularly appreciate the carefully developed quality of these products.
Most Lord Jones products will last a long time, thereby increasing their value. Some like the Lip Balm seemed to need more application and get used up more quickly which may decrease the value for some.
But that was our experience. As with any product line, everyone will have their own opinions and experiences. This holds true even more when dealing with products that physically impact mood, pain receptors, and well-being in general. Know that each person’s body and metabolism may process and respond to CBD ingredients differently, so you are encouraged to try each product for yourself to determine its value to you specifically.

The Lord Jones Product Line Summary
Overall, the Lord Jones brand provides consistent quality and peace of mind. You can rest easy knowing that you will be using high-end ingredients in elegant, luxurious products. These are definitely not your old-school pot brownies or additive-filled drugstore knock-offs.
Geared toward Whole-Food customers and health-conscious consumers interested in well-being, Lord Jones products mostly deliver on their marketing claims. The high-end manufacturing processes result in higher prices points, but Lord Jones tries to soften that impact with various discounts.
