ABOUT TERPINOLENE
Terpinolene, like alpha Pinene, is commonly found in many household products while its isolated properties go unnoticed. Terpinolene’s scent is more complex than many more well-known terpenes. It can be smoky, woody, floral, herbal, and mild citrus notes which it is used for these aromatic qualities in soaps, perfumes, and insect repellents.
Terpinolene is most commonly found in botanicals such as lilac, tea tree, nutmeg, pine trees, apples, and cumin.
Terpinolene has antioxidant, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties with potential for use in fighting cancer, treating anxiety, and improving cholesterol levels. Terpinolene also has notable sedative and sleep aid qualities.
