To make your own CBD tincture: (1) squeeze one measured ounce of Simple Tinctures 10,000mg concentrate into a clean glass bottle, (2) add your carrier oil — MCT (coconut) oil is the standard choice, about 2–3 fl oz depending on desired strength, (3) cap and shake vigorously, optionally resting the sealed bottle in warm water first to help them combine. Result: a finished tincture at your chosen strength, made for about $0.0127 per mg of CBD.
What You Need
- One Simple Tinctures 10,000mg squeeze-pour bottle ($127)
- A clean glass bottle, 1–4 fl oz, ideally amber or cobalt (reuse one you own — wash and dry it first)
- Food-grade MCT/coconut oil, hemp seed oil, or olive oil (~$8 for a bottle that lasts months)
- Measuring mark or simple math (below)
The Steps
Warm & Squeeze
Stand the concentrate bottle in a glass of warm (not boiling) water for 2–3 minutes so it flows easily. Squeeze one full measured ounce — 10,000mg CBD — into your empty bottle. No droppers, no guessing.
Pour Your Oil
Add your carrier oil to reach your target strength (see dilution table below). MCT oil is flavorless, stays liquid, and mixes cleanly; olive oil works too with a stronger taste.
Shake & Store
Cap tightly and shake hard for 30 seconds. Re-shake before each use — oil and extract naturally separate. Store away from heat and light; a cupboard is fine, refrigeration optional.
Dilution Math: Pick Your Strength
| Add carrier oil to 1 oz (10,000mg) concentrate | Finished strength | Per-drop estimate* |
|---|---|---|
| + 1 fl oz (total 2 fl oz / ~1,180 drops) | ~8.5mg per drop | high strength |
| + 2 fl oz (total 3 fl oz / ~1,770 drops) | ~5.7mg per drop | medium |
| + 3 fl oz (total 4 fl oz / ~2,360 drops) | ~4.2mg per drop | gentle |
| *Standard 1ml droppers hold ~20 drops. Estimates only — your dropper may differ; count drops into a teaspoon once to calibrate. These figures describe product concentration, not dosing advice. | ||
Cost Check
Your finished bottle contains 10,000mg of CBD. Concentrate: $127 → $0.0127/mg. Add ~$8 of oil spread over the same milligrams and the true finished cost is still under $0.0135/mg. An equivalent premixed 10,000mg-class tincture typically retails for $180–$240+. The two minutes of shaking is where the savings live.
Practical Notes
- Shelf life: finished tincture is generally best within 12 months; MCT-based mixes hold well refrigerated or in a cool cupboard.
- Label your bottle with the strength you mixed so nobody guesses.
- Start low, go slow: begin with a small amount and adjust over days. We make no health claims and recommend discussing any supplement with your physician, especially alongside medication.
- Keep the concentrate bottle: it doubles as a precise dispenser if you prefer to dose straight from it without diluting.
