Short answer: Elixinol Wellness is an Australian-founded, ASX-listed company (ASX: EXL) — but its CBD oil store runs for the US market and does not ship to Australia. In Australia, the Elixinol Wellness group's retail presence is hemp food products — hemp seeds, hemp protein, hemp seed oil — sold through grocery and health-food channels, not CBD oil. CBD oil from the Elixinol brand has historically only been available in Australia through the prescription pathway. For hemp-derived CBD oil you can buy over the counter in Australia today, CBD Oil Australia is a domestic Australian CBD oil shop dispatching Australia-wide.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Australia is a separate Australian shop selling its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Elixinol, is not affiliated with Elixinol Wellness Limited, and has no connection to the ASX-listed company. Elixinol Wellness's own corporate and brand information is at its official site.
The Elixinol Wellness picture: what it is and what it isn't
Elixinol is one of the more nuanced names to search for in the Australian CBD landscape, because the company and the product channel are not the same thing.
The company: Elixinol Wellness Limited is an Australian-founded, ASX-listed company (ticker: EXL). It operates in multiple countries, has genuine Australian corporate roots, and is publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. That part is straightforwardly Australian.
The CBD oil store: The "Elixinol" branded CBD oil store — carrying full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD oils, capsules, gummies, topicals, and a pet range — is oriented toward the US market. It uses US-grown hemp, operates primarily for US buyers, and does not ship to Australia.
The Australian retail presence: In Australia, the Elixinol Wellness group sells hemp food and wellness products — hemp seeds, hemp protein powders, hemp seed oil — through supermarket and health-food retail channels. These are food products, not CBD oil. They do not contain cannabidiol as a regulated compound.
CBD oil in Australia: Elixinol's CBD oil has historically only been available in Australia through the prescription pathway — meaning a TGA-authorised prescription from a doctor, not over-the-counter retail. The brand has not operated an OTC CBD retail channel in Australia in the way its US store operates there.
Why Australian buyers search for Elixinol
The disconnect between the ASX listing and the US-only CBD store creates a genuinely confusing situation for Australian buyers. Someone searching for "Elixinol Australia" may have found a company that is genuinely Australian in its corporate origins and stock exchange listing — but discovers that the CBD oil products associated with the brand are not available to them through an Australian retail channel.
The TGA framework for CBD in Australia distinguishes between:
- Prescription-only CBD (Schedule 4) — available through an authorised prescriber
- Low-dose OTC CBD — pharmacist-only sale, no prescription needed, within defined dose limits
Elixinol's historical AU presence sat in the prescription category. The OTC pathway is served by domestic shops, not by Elixinol's US store.
What the Elixinol US CBD store carries
For completeness, the US Elixinol brand's range includes:
- CBD oils — full-spectrum and broad-spectrum tinctures
- Capsules — softgels
- Gummies — full-spectrum and THC-free options
- Topicals — balms and body products
- Pet range
The hemp is US-grown; extraction is CO2; third-party testing is applied. These are the product attributes the US store emphasises. For an Australian buyer, the relevant fact is that these products are for the US market and do not ship here — and even if they were available through a reseller, CBD would still be a prohibited import under Australian Border Force rules without prior permission.

The how-to-use guide covers how to read spectrum and strength specifications.
Hemp food vs CBD oil: an important distinction
For buyers who have seen Elixinol products on supermarket shelves in Australia — hemp seeds, hemp protein, hemp seed oil — it is worth noting that these are hemp food products, not CBD oil. They do not contain cannabidiol at therapeutic concentrations and are not the same product as CBD oil tinctures. The food products are regulated as food; the CBD oil category is regulated separately under the TGA framework.
This distinction matters because searches for "Elixinol Australia" can lead to both product categories without a clear signal about which is which.
