Terpenes, pronounced as ter’peen, are volatile hydrocarbon molecules formed from the combination of two or more isoprene units. These organic compounds are produced by various plants and some insects. Terpenes are responsible for the distinct aromas, flavors, and even colors of many plants. In the cannabis plant, terpenes play a crucial role in differentiating strains and their effects. Research suggests that terpenes interact with cannabinoids like THC and CBD to create an "entourage effect," enhancing the plant’s therapeutic benefits.
Over 23,000 plants produce terpenes for various functions, such as pest control, disease repair, protection, and aroma. These compounds serve essential ecological roles, attracting pollinators, deterring herbivores, and protecting plants from environmental stressors. Terpenes are sourced from a wide range of botanicals, including citrus fruits, conifers, herbs, and flowers. While each plant may produce multiple terpenes, the exact number of individual terpenes can vary widely, contributing to the plant's unique profile and potential therapeutic benefits.
Terpene isolates are single, pure terpenes extracted from plants. These isolates offer concentrated forms of individual terpenes, such as limonene, myrcene, or pinene. In contrast, terpene profiles, also known as full-spectrum terpene profiles, combine multiple terpenes to replicate the natural balance found in specific plants or strains. These profiles are meticulously formulated to provide a distinctive experience, enhancing flavors, aromas, and potential therapeutic effects. At AOHA, we ensure the sourcing of high-purity isolates to maintain top quality in our products.
While terpenes constitute a part of essential oils, the term "essential oil" encompasses other compounds as well, including various terpenes, known as its profile. Essential oils are complex mixtures containing multiple terpenes and other aromatic compounds, giving them a broader range of scents and therapeutic properties. Terpenes are the primary constituents that contribute to the aroma and effects of essential oils. For example, lavender essential oil contains a high concentration of linalool, a terpene known for its calming properties.

This practice helps prevent oxidation and degradation, preserving the quality and potency of the terpenes over time. Proper storage is essential to ensure that the terpenes remain effective for their intended use.
Store consumer quantities of terpenes in the original packaging in a cool, dry spot, away from direct heat and light. This will help maintain their stability and effectiveness. Proper storage conditions are crucial to prevent the degradation of the terpenes, ensuring they retain their aromatic and therapeutic properties. Always reseal the container tightly after use to minimize exposure to air and contaminants.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) associated with our products for detailed health and safety guidelines. The SDS provides crucial information on handling, storage, and potential hazards, ensuring safe use of terpenes in various applications. It includes data on first aid measures, fire-fighting procedures, accidental release measures, and exposure controls. Following the guidelines in the SDS will help you safely incorporate terpenes into your formulations while minimizing risks.
While terpenes are derived from natural sources, their concentrated form isn't edible and can be harmful if ingested directly. Always dilute terpenes, ensuring they don't exceed 5% of your formulation. Inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion of undiluted terpenes can cause adverse reactions. Proper dilution and usage according to recommended guidelines are essential to ensure safety. Consult with a professional or refer to the product's SDS for more information on safe handling and usage.
Blend terpenes with various concentrates, ensuring they constitute no more than 10% of the final product's weight - maximum. This concentration is an ideal headline for maintaining the balance between effectiveness and safety. Whether used in edibles, topicals, or inhalable products, proper blending techniques are crucial for achieving the desired effects without compromising safety or quality. Always follow recommended usage guidelines and consult with one of our expert team where needed
With proper safety gear like gloves, mix terpenes at a 1%-5% ratio with your preferred carrier, such as vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. Always prioritize safety and consult our SDS for more details. Dilution not only ensures safety but also helps to evenly distribute the terpenes throughout your product, enhancing its overall effectiveness and quality. Properly diluted terpenes can be safely used in various applications, from aromatherapy to product formulations.
Use terpenes with extracts and concentrates, ensuring a maximum of 10% of the finished product weight. They are suitable for various applications, including vapes, edibles, and topicals. Proper usage ensures the safe and effective incorporation of terpenes into your products. Additionally, use terpenes within 36 months of opening to maintain their potency and effectiveness. Always store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and heat, to prolong their shelf life.
Keep terpenes in a cool, dry location between 0˚-25˚ C, avoiding direct light and heat. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain the stability and potency of terpenes over time.
