Down to Earth CBD review — an Australian CBD Oil Alternative
Down to Earth is an Australian CBD brand — full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate oils plus edibles. Here's the range, and a Brisbane alternative with CBG, CBN and pet oils, across QLD.

Down to Earth CBD (trading as Primitive Extracts) sells CBD oil in 30ml bottles across three spectrum formats — full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate — with strengths from 500mg to 3000mg. For shoppers in Brisbane comparing value, the bottle size is the first variable to check: a 30ml bottle at 1000mg delivers a different milligram-per-millilitre concentration and a different per-mg price than a 50ml bottle at the same strength. This review covers what they stock, how the numbers stack up, and what is available locally. Down to Earth ships across Australia and to New Zealand; for current products and pricing visit Down to Earth's official site.
What Down to Earth CBD sells
Down to Earth CBD operates from downtoearth.green under the Primitive Extracts name. All oils come in 30ml dropper bottles — a smaller format than the 50ml bottles common elsewhere in the Australian market. The range covers four categories.
Full-spectrum CBD oil (branded "Full Defence"):
- 500mg / 30ml — $79.00 AUD ($0.158 per mg)
- 1000mg / 30ml — $149.00 AUD ($0.149 per mg)
- 3000mg / 30ml — $260.00 AUD ($0.087 per mg)
Full-spectrum means the extract keeps the whole-plant cannabinoid and terpene profile alongside CBD, including a legal trace of THC under 0.3% in line with Australian requirements.
Broad-spectrum CBD oil:
- 3000mg / 30ml — $195.00 AUD ($0.065 per mg)
Broad-spectrum retains the supporting cannabinoids — the brand lists CBG, CBC, CBDV and CBN in the profile — but with the THC removed, so 0% THC.
Isolate CBD oil:
- 1000mg / 30ml — $75.00 AUD ($0.075 per mg)
- 2000mg / 30ml — $135.00 AUD ($0.068 per mg)
Isolate is CBD as a single compound — no other cannabinoids, no terpenes, no THC.
Pet oil: 250mg / 30ml at $50.00 AUD, formulated for animals.
The brand reports approximately 5,000 independently verified customer reviews with a 4.73 out of 5 average — a consistent signal across their range.
Bottle size and the per-mg value calculation
This is the practical Brisbane question: does a 30ml bottle give you the same value as a 50ml bottle?
Two bottles can hold the same total milligrams yet sit at very different concentrations per millilitre. That changes how far each drop goes — but it does not change how much total cannabidiol you are getting from the bottle.
Comparing the 1000mg tier side by side:
| Product | Volume | Total CBD | mg/mL | Price | Per-mg cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Down to Earth FD1000 | 30ml | 1000mg | 33.3 mg/mL | $149.00 | $0.149/mg |
| CBD Oil Brisbane CBD Oil 1000mg | 50ml | 1000mg | 20 mg/mL | $69.00 | $0.069/mg |
Both bottles deliver 1000mg of CBD. The 30ml bottle is more concentrated per millilitre — each drop carries more milligrams — but the total is identical, and the per-mg price is higher at $0.149 versus $0.069.
At the 3000mg tier, the picture changes:
| Product | Volume | Total CBD | Price | Per-mg cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Down to Earth FD3000 (full-spectrum) | 30ml | 3000mg | $260.00 | $0.087/mg |
| Down to Earth BS3000 (broad-spectrum) | 30ml | 3000mg | $195.00 | $0.065/mg |
| CBD Oil Brisbane CBD Oil 3000mg FS | 50ml | 3000mg | $140.00 | $0.047/mg |
| CBD Oil Brisbane CBD Oil 3000mg BS | 50ml | 3000mg | $140.00 | $0.047/mg |
At 3000mg, Down to Earth's broad-spectrum at $0.065/mg is the sharpest per-mg rate in their range. Their full-spectrum 3000mg and our equivalent sit within $0.014/mg of each other — a small difference at this tier.
The takeaway for Brisbane shoppers: compare the total milligrams in the bottle, then divide by the price. Bottle volume alone does not determine value — the per-mg cost does.

Organic sourcing and spectrum formats
Down to Earth sources hemp from USA organic farms and processes under GMP-certified extraction. Third-party lab testing is carried out per batch, with Certificates of Analysis (COA) available on their website. Batch-level COA access is the standard you should look for with any reputable CBD supplier — it tells you what is actually in the bottle.
What the spectrum labels mean in plain terms:
- Full-spectrum — the whole-plant extract carries CBD alongside minor cannabinoids, terpenes and a legal trace of THC (under 0.3%). The complete hemp profile is preserved.
- Broad-spectrum — same whole-plant extraction, but the THC is removed. The remaining cannabinoids and terpenes stay in, giving a broader profile than isolate without the trace THC.
- Isolate — pure CBD as a single compound. No terpenes, no other cannabinoids, no THC.
All three formats are available in Australia under TGA guidelines for CBD products, provided the THC level does not exceed the permitted threshold. The choice between formats comes down to which composition you are looking for — one is not inherently superior to another.
CBG and CBN oil — a gap in Down to Earth's range
Down to Earth lists CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol) as components within their full-spectrum and broad-spectrum extracts, but they do not currently offer standalone CBG oil or CBN oil as separate products.
CBG is a minor cannabinoid found in the hemp plant, chemically distinct from CBD and typically present in smaller concentrations in a standard whole-plant extract.
CBN forms naturally as THC degrades over time. In a pure CBN isolate oil, it is THC-free.
If you specifically want a dedicated cannabigerol or cannabinol product rather than a multi-cannabinoid extract, you would need to source that separately. CBD Oil Brisbane stocks both as standalone products — the CBG oil (1000mg, 50ml) and CBN oil (1000mg, 50ml) pages have the current specifications and pricing.

A Brisbane alternative — CBD Oil Brisbane's 50ml range
CBD Oil Brisbane carries CBD, CBG and CBN oils in 50ml bottles, imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and batch lab-tested before dispatch. The 50ml format means a lower milligram-per-millilitre concentration than a 30ml bottle at the same total strength, but the per-mg price across most tiers is lower.
Current range highlights available to Brisbane shoppers:
- Full-spectrum CBD oil, 1000mg — 50ml, 20mg/mL, $69.00 — whole-plant hemp with trace THC under 0.3%
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil, 1000mg — 50ml, 20mg/mL, $69.00 — THC removed (0%)
- Full-spectrum and broad-spectrum also stocked at 3000mg ($220), 6000mg ($390) and 12000mg ($585) — all 50ml bottles
All orders ship across QLD and Australia-wide. Deliveries to Brisbane CBD, Fortitude Valley, South Bank, Chermside move on standard post schedules. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request for any batch. The CBD Oil Brisbane shop lists the current CBG, CBN and pet CBD oil range alongside the full CBD spectrum lineup.
Frequently asked questions — CBD oil in Australia
Is Down to Earth CBD oil available in Brisbane? Yes — Down to Earth ships to Brisbane and across QLD through their website at downtoearth.green. They ship Australia-wide and to New Zealand.
How does a 30ml bottle compare to a 50ml bottle for CBD oil value? Total milligrams determines how much CBD is in the bottle, not the volume. A 30ml bottle at 1000mg and a 50ml bottle at 1000mg contain the same total CBD. Per-mg price varies by brand and tier — at the 1000mg level, Down to Earth full-spectrum is $0.149/mg versus $0.069/mg for a comparable 50ml option. At 3000mg the gap narrows to within a few cents per mg depending on the spectrum format.
Does Down to Earth sell CBG or CBN oil as standalone products? Not currently. Their broad-spectrum and full-spectrum profiles contain CBG and CBN as components of the full extract, but Down to Earth does not list standalone CBG oil or CBN oil. Brands that carry them separately, including CBD Oil Brisbane, have these as individual product lines — see the CBG oil and CBN oil listings.
What CBD oil does CBD Oil Brisbane stock? CBD Oil Brisbane carries full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD oil in 50ml bottles from 1000mg to 12000mg, plus standalone CBG oil, CBN oil and pet CBD oil (2000mg full-spectrum).
