Our terpenes are all-natural, plant-derived and steam-distilled for purity and flavor. Extracted with care to preserve the full aromatic spectrum, they’re perfect for blending into concentrates, tinctures, topicals, or other botanical creations.
Usage Guidelines
- Always start with 0.5–1% terpene content by weight.
- Mix thoroughly with your base to ensure even distribution.
- Allow the blend to rest for at least 30 minutes so the profile opens up.
- Evaluate and adjust in small increments; terpenes are potent.
Best Practices
- Less is more: Terpenes are concentrated — a few drops can completely change a profile.
- Wear gloves: Avoid direct skin contact to prevent irritation.
- Store properly: Keep bottles sealed, cool, and away from direct light to maintain integrity.
- Pair thoughtfully: Combine citrus with uplifting strains, earthy with relaxing, and sweet with dessert profiles.
Popular Applications
- Enhancing aroma in liquidizer mixes.
- Boosting botanical sprays such as our Terpene Sprays.
- Crafting signature scents for topical or aromatic use.
