About Our Terpenes

No, our terpenes are extracted from many different natural plant sources. There are over 20,000 terpenes found in nature and each terpene can be found in multiple sources. One benefit of doing it this way is to help ensure consistency of strain flavors as our ratios can be replicated precisely each time. For example, Alpha-Pinene extracted from pine trees is chemically identical to Alpha-Pinene extracted from other coniferous trees, eucalyptus, sage, rosemary, frankincense, and ironwort.

Our terpenes are extracted terpenes from a variety of plant species through several methods depending on the source. The terpenes are then purified through distillation and other techniques to create the highest quality product available.

Yes. We purchase only Food Grade ingredients. In fact our products are True Grade™:

A real step above Food Grade, True Grade™ is a designation used to clarify the superior quality of the terpenes True Terpenes offers. True Grade™ terpenes are California Phase 3 Compliant. True Terpenes provides terpenes which are specifically distilled to reach the highest possible purity.

There may be trace amounts of solvents contained in True Terpenes isolates. However, in those circumstances it is below the standards in several states. Keep in mind, terpenes themselves can act as solvents to many other substances. Also over time, through exposure to heat, oxygen, and UV, terpenes can degrade and be found to contain trace amounts of other organic solvents like Acetone. These trace amounts should be noted and accounted for but are not cause for alarm or disposal of product.

Product Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are available on the product’s page. Other product specific certificates (Natural, Nutritional, Non-GMO, and Allergen Statements, Product Specifications, Certificate of Compliance, etc.) are available upon request.

No. Our products do not contain Diacetyl. Diacetyl is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH₃CO)₂. It is a yellow or green liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₂. Diacetyl occurs naturally in alcoholic beverages and is added to some foods to impart its buttery flavor.

Our terpenes are EXTREMELY concentrated and should not be consumed undiluted. Consumers should determine and conduct their own safety standards and testing. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes, wood surfaces and fabrics. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

When in this pure of a form, terpenes ARE DANGEROUS and must be handled with the utmost care for your own safety.

Short version: All terpenes of this high purity MUST SHOW these warnings, legally and morally.

If you see terpenes for sale somewhere that does not show these warnings, one of two things are occurring:

1) The product is NOT high enough purity to warrant a legal warning (when diluted, terpenes are safe enough to ingest and do not need warnings)

2) The company is in violation by not displaying the proper safety information to you. Proceed at your own risk!

As close as we can get! We use the terpenes found in the greatest quantities, which might make up on average 90+% of the profile. However, the remaining 10% might be made up of numerous terpenes found in small quantities. We use 10-50 terpenes per bottle of strain profile on average.

It’s other terpene isomers and aromatics such as esters, aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols.

We are the largest supplier of terpenes in the industry, meaning that most of our competitors purchase some of their terpenes from us. What it really comes down to is our True Grade™ quality standard, we provide nothing but the best.

We also provide the best customer service in the industry. We have outstanding Quality Control and Quality Assurance professional teams. We offer custom blends per request which our clients rate as the tastiest and have a greater effect than any blends sold by our competitors.

True Terpene Strain Profile Blends are created by combining the highest quality botanical terpenes available.

Unless otherwise stated on the label (QR Code), COA, or SDS, the recommended intended use for an unopened product is one year from the date of purchase or listed manufacturing date. It is crucial to observe product label directions and store terpenes properly to maintain product integrity. Terpenes are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and may degrade over time.
