Terpene Directions — Top Shelf Terpenes

Part of the Learn – Create – Use series — View all guides

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

  1. Always start with 0.5–1% terpene content by weight.
  2. Mix thoroughly with your base to ensure even distribution.
  3. Allow the blend to rest for at least 30 minutes so the profile opens up.
  4. 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.
