About Us
One mission. Seven brothers. Millions of lives.
Our Story
Humble beginnings
Charlotte’s Web, founded by the Stanley Brothers in 2014, was inspired by a mission to provide natural wellness through CBD. Their journey began with developing hemp genetics focused on CBD, which gained national attention after their CBD tincture helped Charlotte Figi, a young epilepsy patient, sparking public interest and legislative change. Since then, Charlotte’s Web has become a leader in CBD, completing an IPO in 2018 and acquiring Abacus Health in 2020. Today, the Stanley Brothers continue to develop wellness products with cannabinoids, terpenes, and botanicals to support health and balance.
