Premium Jane Review — and an Australian CBD Oil Alternative
Premium Jane is a US CBD brand whose Australian arm closed in early 2025. This review covers their CO2 extraction method, COA transparency, AUD pricing, shipping to Australia, and why a Byron Bay alternative dispatches domestically.
Premium Jane is a US-based CBD brand built around CO2-extracted, broad-spectrum oils and a third-party lab-testing standard. It previously ran a legitimate, registered Australian operation — that arm has since closed and its AU company registration lapsed in early 2025. The US site does not ship to Australia. For premium jane cbd oil from an active, domestically dispatched source based in Byron Bay, NSW, FraLa CBD ships tracked to Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Australia-wide.
This review is independent. FraLa CBD is a separate Australian shop with no connection to or affiliation with Premium Jane. Premium Jane's current products are listed at its official US site.
What Premium Jane is
Premium Jane is a US direct-to-consumer CBD brand built around US-grown hemp, CO2 extraction, and a broad-spectrum product positioning. It launched in the US market and attracted a global following through English-language review content — which is how many Australian buyers first encountered the brand name.
The product range is wider than most Australian CBD shops: CBD oils and tinctures, gummies, topicals and salves, capsules, and skincare products sit alongside the core oil range. The defining composition focus across their oils is broad-spectrum cannabidiol — meaning THC is removed to reach 0% THC, while the rest of the cannabinoid and terpene profile from the hemp plant is retained.
Third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) documentation is a stated brand standard on Premium Jane's US site. Products are listed with lab results accessible on the product pages — a reasonable transparency benchmark for a US CBD brand.
Premium Jane's Australian chapter
At one point, Premium Jane was among the few international CBD brands to make a genuine, registered commitment to the Australian market. An Australian arm operated under a locally registered company, running as a domestically compliant hemp-derived CBD oil supplier.
That chapter closed. The Australian company registration has lapsed — as of early 2025. The Australian domain (premiumjane.com.au, which now redirects to premiumjaneau.com — also inactive) is no longer operational. No replacement AU entity has been established. This is a company registration fact, not speculation.
From Byron Bay, the local CBD oil supply chain is something I follow closely — which brands are active, which have gone quiet, which are genuinely shipping to NSW buyers. Premium Jane's Australian operation was legitimate while it ran. The closure leaves a gap: buyers who search for the brand today find a mix of stale review content and a US site that doesn't fulfil Australian orders.
Ordering from the US site — shipping, customs, and delivery to Australia
The US Premium Jane site (premiumjane.com) does not offer international shipping to Australia. A buyer attempting to purchase from the US site will find no Australian shipping option at checkout.
Some buyers try to work around this through mail-forwarding services or third-party resellers. This route creates a layered set of practical complications:
- Customs interception: Hemp-derived CBD oil and cannabidiol products are treated as prohibited imports under Australian Border Force rules without prior authorisation. Parcels arriving from the US can be held or seized at the border. During the period the AU arm was still operating, customer reviews documented reports of gummies shipped from New Jersey being confiscated by Australian Customs. The TGA website and Australian Border Force set out the import framework.
- USD pricing and exchange rate exposure: Premium Jane's US pricing is in USD. Australian buyers absorb the AUD/USD exchange rate, which fluctuates. A product priced at US$60–US$100 carries a variable AUD cost depending on when you convert.
- Shipping time and transit risk: A parcel travelling from the US to Australia is in transit for 7–21 business days via standard international post — sometimes longer. This is a significant lead time for a product that may not clear customs.
- No domestic contact point: With the AU arm closed, there is no Australian company to contact for a dispute, a return, or a missing parcel.
This is practical consumer information, not a comment on Premium Jane's product quality. The US brand continues in its own market. The issue for Australian buyers is supply chain, not product.
Extraction methods and COA transparency — what to look for
CO2 extraction — the method Premium Jane states — is a well-regarded approach in the hemp-extract industry. Supercritical carbon dioxide acts as the solvent that pulls cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. Because CO2 is not a petrochemical solvent, it leaves no residual solvents in the finished extract — a clean-extraction standard.
For a broad-spectrum product, the CO2-extracted full-spectrum extract undergoes a secondary step to remove THC selectively — typically chromatography, targeted distillation, or selective crystallisation. The result is a multi-cannabinoid oil with 0% THC confirmed by the COA.
When evaluating any CBD oil brand — Premium Jane or otherwise — the COA is the document that confirms what was actually found in the batch:
- Cannabinoid profile section: the primary compound (CBD, CBG, CBN as relevant) and its measured concentration in mg per gram or as a percentage. For broad-spectrum, Delta-9 THC should read 0.00% or ND (not detected).
- Batch number match: the COA's lot number must match the one printed on your bottle. A COA from a different batch does not verify your product.
- Contaminant screen: look for pesticide residues, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbial contamination — each with a pass/fail result.
See the full guide to reading a CBD Certificate of Analysis for a section-by-section explanation. At FraLa CBD, batch-specific COAs are available on request for every oil in the range — email enquiries@franklauda.com with the lot number from your bottle.
Product range and pricing — US brand vs Australian source
Premium Jane's range in its US form spans multiple product categories that Australian CBD oil shops typically don't carry: gummies, topicals, capsules, and skincare. In terms of CBD oils, the focus is broad-spectrum tinctures across a range of cannabidiol concentrations. Pricing is in USD with no current AUD equivalent available.
FraLa CBD's range is oils-only — but wider in cannabinoid terms:
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil — multi-cannabinoid, 0% THC; the direct composition parallel to Premium Jane's flagship positioning. Available from $69.00 AUD for the 1000mg, 50ml bottle.
- Full-spectrum CBD oil — whole-plant hemp, trace THC under 0.3%; broader than what Premium Jane's broad-spectrum-only oils deliver. From $69.00 AUD.
- CBG oil (cannabigerol) — not a category Premium Jane carried in its AU operation.
- CBN oil (cannabinol, THC-free isolate) — likewise, not a core Premium Jane offering.
- Pet CBD oil — both brands include a pet category; FraLa CBD's pet oil is formulated for animals and described only by composition.
All FraLa CBD bottles are 50ml, MCT carrier oil (coconut-derived), third-party batch-tested, COA on request. Pricing in AUD. No exchange rate exposure. No customs crossing. Dispatched within Australia.

The Byron Bay alternative: FraLa CBD
FraLa CBD operates from Byron Bay, NSW — an active, currently registered Australian business. Products source their hemp extract from EU Labs (Amsterdam; mentioned for supply-chain transparency), then dispatch domestically by tracked parcel. There is no import step on the buyer's side: the product ships within Australia, from Australia.
For buyers in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, or anywhere across NSW and beyond, delivery is domestic — no customs clearance, no international transit, no USD conversion. CBD oil Brisbane is a live delivery destination, as are all major Australian cities and regional centres.
AUD pricing runs from $69.00 for the 1000mg broad-spectrum or full-spectrum bottle up through the 3000mg, 6000mg, and 12000mg tiers. The full current range, with pricing, is on the FraLa CBD shop.
What to look for in an active Australian CBD supplier
After any experience of chasing a brand that has since gone quiet in Australia, the supplier-status checklist matters:
- Active AU company registration — is the entity currently registered and operating in Australia?
- Domestic dispatch — does the order ship from within Australia, without a customs crossing?
- Extraction and composition transparency — CO2, ethanol, or solvent extraction? Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, or isolate? Stated THC percentage?
- Batch-specific COA — a COA for your batch, not a generic document; batch number matches your bottle
- AUD pricing — no exchange rate variability; fixed in Australian dollars
- Active contact point — an Australian business address and email for questions, returns, or disputes
The best CBD oil Australia guide applies these criteria across multiple active Australian suppliers. The Endoca review covers another international CBD brand that has navigated the Australian supply chain — useful context if you are comparing how different brands handle AU distribution.
