At Kyoto Botanicals, we believe that trust is earned through data. Our respect for nature is the foundation of everything we do—which is why we prioritize independent third-party CBD lab testing and provide public access to every batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA). Visit our CBD testing and trust guide for a deep dive into why we value this so much.

Transparency Isn’t Just a Trend—It’s Our Standard
You’ll find test results for each of our products through a QR code on the bottle so you can see exactly what’s inside before you buy and can learn how to read a CBD CoA to make sure you have all the inforrmation you need to make an informed CBD decision. We also always use the fewest, and highest quality ingredients available and list everything we put in each bottle on the label. No hidden names like "Natural Flavors" on our labels.
Our Certificates of Analysis (COAs) show cannabinoid content per serving, confirming that what’s on the label is actually in the product. This kind of openness is rare in our industry—but we think it should be the norm.
What We Test For (and Why It’s So Important)
We don’t just run basic potency tests. EVERY batch of Kyoto Botanicals CBD goes through a full-panel safety screening. Here’s what we check for:
- Potency: To ensure you’re getting the right amount of CBD every time.
- Microbial Contaminants: We screen for bacteria, mold, and yeast.
- Residual Solvents: Safe extraction means no chemical leftovers.
- Heavy Metals: We test for lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium in every batch.
- Pesticides: We screen for over 100 different pesticides.
Why We Love Being Colorado-Based
Colorado sets one of the highest bars in the nation for hemp regulation. We work with state-licensed, CDPHE-monitored labs, which means regular lab audits, equipment calibration checks, and government oversight for accuracy. You’re not just trusting us—you’re trusting a system built to protect you.
Our Lab Partners: Certified, Accredited, Respected
We only work with labs that hold the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation—the global gold standard for testing accuracy. This means you’re getting clean, scientifically backed results—every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CBD Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A COA is a verified document from an independent third-party laboratory that confirms the exact chemical makeup of a CBD product. It is your "report card" for safety, proving that the potency on the label matches what is in the bottle and that the product is free from harmful contaminants.
Why does Kyoto Botanicals test for heavy metals in every batch?
Hemp is a "bioaccumulator," meaning it naturally absorbs everything in the soil, including toxins. Many brands skip heavy metal testing to save costs, but we screen every batch for Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Cadmium to ensure our products never contain environmental pollutants.
How do I know if a CBD lab report is legitimate?
A legitimate lab report should include: An ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation stamp, a Batch ID that matches the number printed on your product bottle, a signature from the Lab Director. If a brand only shows one "general" lab report for all products, they aren't practicing true batch-specific transparency.
What does "ND" mean on my lab results?
"ND" stands for Non-Detectable. This means the lab's highly sensitive equipment could not find any trace of that specific contaminant (like a pesticide or solvent) above the Limit of Detection (LOD). When it comes to safety screenings, "ND" is the result you want to see.
s your CBD tested for pesticides?
Yes. While federal law only requires a small handful of screens, we run an advanced 100+ pesticide screen. This goes far beyond industry standards to ensure our organic CBD tinctures remain as pure as possible from the farm to the bottle.
