Down to Earth is one of the Australian CBD brands a Canberra shopper will compare, so here's an even-handed look. It's a genuine label selling full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate CBD oil, made from organic hemp and third-party lab-tested. Below is what it offers, and a Canberra alternative that broadens the cannabinoid range with CBG, CBN and pet oils: CBD Oil Canberra, an online CBD oil shop covering Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden and the rest of ACT.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Canberra is a separate Australian shop and sells its own range of CBD oil — it is not Down to Earth, Down to Earth's official store, or an affiliate. You can see Down to Earth's own products on Down to Earth's official site.
What Down to Earth sells
Down to Earth — trading as Primitive Extracts — is an Australian CBD label that also ships to New Zealand, with a handmade, organic-hemp focus. Its CBD oil comes in three forms: full-spectrum (whole-plant, trace THC under 0.3%), broad-spectrum (THC removed) and CBD isolate. The oils are sold in 30ml bottles across a wide strength range — 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000mg — with a smaller 250mg pet oil. It also offers gummies, balms, bath salts and a few food items.
For a Canberra shopper, it's a broad, organic-leaning range with public third-party lab reports, dispatched the next business day. It's an established Australian name with a good base of customer reviews. Because both stores are Australian, the meaningful question isn't who's local; it's how the oils stack up on composition and format, which is where this goes next.
How it compares on composition
We describe each oil by what it contains, never by what it might do, so this is a like-for-like look. Both stores share the basics: full-spectrum oil (whole-plant hemp, trace THC under 0.3%) and a THC-free option — Down to Earth via broad-spectrum and isolate, us via our broad-spectrum CBD oil, with the whole-plant side covered by our full-spectrum CBD oil.
The ranges diverge on the other cannabinoids. Beyond CBD, we sell two single-cannabinoid oils Down to Earth's oil line doesn't: CBG oil, cannabigerol, and a THC-free CBN oil, a cannabinol isolate — plus a pet CBD oil. Format differs too: ours are 50ml bottles, Down to Earth's are 30ml. Each of ours is hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis on request, from $89.95, imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and dispatched within Australia.
What to look for when you compare CBD oils
Whichever brand you settle on, these five points keep it factual:
- Spectrum — full-spectrum (trace THC), broad-spectrum (THC removed) or a single-cannabinoid isolate.
- Strength — milligrams of cannabinoid per bottle; mind the bottle size (30ml vs 50ml) for the per-millilitre figure.
- Carrier oil — what it's dissolved in (ours is coconut-derived MCT).
- THC content — stated plainly, from a legal trace to none.
- Lab testing — third-party, with a batch Certificate of Analysis available on request.
Both stores test by third party; the how-to-use guide explains how to read these off a label.
On strength and bottle size
Strength deserves a mention, and bottle size shapes it: compare the milligrams against the volume, not the number alone. Our oils run 1000mg to 12000mg in a 50ml bottle, so the per-millilitre figure lines up neatly, from $89.95. Down to Earth's run 500 to 3000mg in 30ml, so a fair check divides the milligrams by the millilitres on each — weigh that and the spectrum, and you're comparing like with like.

The Canberra alternative
Both Down to Earth and CBD Oil Canberra are Australian and ship nationally, so the choice comes down to range and fit. CBD Oil Canberra is built for Canberra: we post across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden and the rest of ACT in plain Australian dollars, the same price for every customer, describing each oil by spectrum, milligrams, carrier and THC content. If you specifically want CBG or CBN as their own oils, a pet oil, a 50ml bottle, or a Canberra-focused shop with prices from $89.95, that's the difference — the whole range and prices are in one place.
Common questions about Down to Earth and CBD oil in Canberra
Is Down to Earth Australian? Yes — an Australian CBD brand (Primitive Extracts) selling full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate CBD oil plus edibles and topicals, made from organic hemp.
How does it differ from CBD Oil Canberra? Down to Earth centres on CBD oil (full, broad, isolate) in 30ml bottles. CBD Oil Canberra carries those and adds CBG oil, CBN oil and a pet oil in 50ml bottles, shipped to Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden and the rest of ACT, from $89.95.
Is the oil lab-tested? Both stores test by third party — Down to Earth publishes public lab reports, and every CBD Oil Canberra batch is third-party tested with a Certificate of Analysis on request.
Which is cheaper? It depends on strength, spectrum and bottle size, so compare cost per milligram rather than the sticker price. CBD Oil Canberra shows every price in Australian dollars on the shop page, from $89.95.
How long is delivery to Canberra? CBD Oil Canberra ships from within Australia, so a Canberra order is a domestic delivery — times are on the shipping page. Down to Earth also ships nationally, so delivery is similar; the difference is the range.
Is CBD oil legal in ACT? Yes, within the national framework — low-dose cannabidiol is pharmacist-only, and higher strengths need a prescription. The current rules are on the TGA website. We describe our oils by composition only and make no health claims.

But if you want a Canberra-focused shop that also carries CBG, CBN and pet oils in 50ml bottles, browse the full CBD oil range, delivered across ACT. Every bottle shows its spectrum, strength, 50ml size and price in plain Australian dollars, so weighing it against Down to Earth comes down to the milligrams against the millilitres rather than the marketing.
