If you are thinking of starting your own private label CBD project in Spain, either within your company or as a freelancer, you probably aspire to create products from scratch. However, both the sector and the raw material require a series of skills in which very few brands, such as The Beemine Lab, are specialised at the moment.
As experts in manufacturing and distributing CBD products in Spain, in this article we explain everything you need to know to create your own CBD brand.
We will now take a closer look at the following keys to commercialising CBD in Spain:
The trendy ingredient, Cannabidiol, is a component of the Cannabis plant that, according to the WHO, could have benefits for personal wellbeing and the treatment of certain symptomatologies, but, surely if you are reading this you already know that in Spain and a large part of Europe its commercial use can only be cosmetic, that is to say, for external use. This will be one of the first aspects that you will have to take into account. The legal situation.
In The Beemine Lab we take care of all the legal and administrative documentation to overcome all the barriers and to make the market launch comfortable and agile. We develop the documentation for registration in the European portal for cosmetic products and for exporting these products outside Europe (CNPN).
On the other hand, the aforementioned benefits, are you going to specialise in a specific benefit? Are you going to launch a communication plan aimed at a more holistic use of the product? This step is fundamental to choose what information and ingredients you want your product to have.
Another aspect to take into account is the target audience. According to our market research, the majority of the target audience is young women, but depending on the specialisation, you can impact more specific market niches. Some consumers will prefer larger quantity formats, others will prefer design, which is why this step in the development of a CBD white label is also important when choosing the design and format of your product's packaging.
And lastly, the channel: when creating your own brand you need to know which channels you want to position yourself in, whether you are going to go for more traditional channels or opt for e-commerce, or if you want to white label CBD through dropshipping if you are going to need a large quantity of products or start with a small stock.
If you were looking for wholesale CBD suppliers in Spain to market or create your brand from scratch, you are in the right place.

Oils, creams, balms, ... Currently, all kinds of products are marketed by different CBD companies in Spain and Europe. Below we will give you the keys you need to know about the most popular products so that you can create your own brand:
Currently, CBD oils are the most demanded product on the market, a product with a simple formulation and a wide variety of uses and benefits that make this product a public favourite.
They can be found in various concentrations (3%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%) and formats of between 10-30ml. Concentrations of more than 30% require more complex formulations, as at this percentage the oils lose their liquid state and begin to form a viscous mass. This is why the most demanded percentages range between 5% and 20%.

Starting from scratch is not easy, and this is compounded by the complexity of the cannabis sector and the lack of familiarity of most laboratories with CBD. Even so, the sector is very attractive because the CBD market is expected to have a turnover of 150 million dollars by 2025, this forecasts an annual growth of more than 12% among users in Spain and all of Europe according to Prohibition Partners, over the next few years more than 3.2 billion customers will be looking for brands like yours. There are already CBD franchises in Spain with more than 60 outlets.
However, the legal risks, the increasing competitiveness of the sector and the need for industry knowledge make it a difficult market in which to establish yourself in the short term.
Advice from established brands such as Laboratorios Beemine may be the key to overcoming both the commercial and production barriers of the CBD market.
To the question, is CBD legal in Spain? The answer is simple, but the practice is a bit more complicated.
As mentioned above, the CBD market in Spain is regulated only for cosmetic use. That means that for Cannabidiol in Spain for medicinal or therapeutic use is still limited to users who can access products like Sativex or Epidolex that contain CBD. 1:1 through their specialists.
Importing or producing your brand outside Spain without complying with labelling and marketing requirements can be very expensive. Formats such as flowers or oils are seized by the authorities in many outlets in Spain because they do not meet their requirements.
In addition, the THC content of the products must always be less than 0.02%.
That is why our production process is very strict and we only produce products for external use with CPNP (cosmetic licence).
We develop the documentation for registration in the European cosmetic products portal and for export outside Europe. We carry out the authorisation procedure for food supplements that are new to the market.
We will be pleased to advise you on all aspects of the CPNP. CPNP is the European Cosmetic Product Notification Portal and aims to ensure transparency in the market.
In terms of the licences you need to sell CBD in Spain, all you need to do is carry out routine cannabinoid testing of your batches of CBD products to ensure that both the labelling and the content of the product comply with what it promises and with your country's regulatory framework.
There are already established franchises in the sector, such as Herbolarios Navarro, which began by marketing CBD oils from different brands until 2021, when they launched their own brand of CBD oils.
The success can be seen in the communication emphasis on these same products in the points of sale and the fact that, in just one year, they are available in each and every one of their more than 40 physical shops.
On the other hand, brands such as ours, The Beemine Lab, which is only 4 years old, is already present in more than 400 pharmacies in Spain, which allows us to initiate a very ambitious R&D project in collaboration.
The Beemine Lab is committed to innovation and relies on both private and public institutions, as is the case of its recent collaboration with the Faculty of Pharmacy of the UCM to explore the potential of CBD as a topical active ingredient, ahead of the rest of our international competitors,
This year we will also start with an ambitious internationalisation plan in France and Portugal. In addition, we will continue to expand the team with the young talent that characterises this project, which last year alone doubled its number of employees.
