Terpene Use Limits?

Posted by Zaf on October 13, 2019 at 4:41 pm

Hey guys… sorry to be a pain. I can’t seem to find a use limit for these terpenes and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to where I can find this information?

I found most of the use limits but I couldn’t find them for Humulene and Terpineol?

I’m assuming that since these are individual terpenes that I have a good chance of the recipe coming out irritating if I use too much (assuming moreso than essential oils).

I’m kinda looking at this (0.5% once you hit the tochopherol, all the way to 0.09% on the terpenes): Theobroma grandiflorum (Cupuacu) Seed Butter, Aqua (Water), Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt), Orbignya Oleifera (Babassu) Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Methylsulfonylmethane (OptiMSM), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano), Virola Sebifer (Ucuuba) Seed Butter, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Extract, Cetearyl Olivate, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Oil, Squalane, Jasminum Sambac (Jasmine) Flower Wax, Glycerin, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Avena Sativa (Oat Kernel) Extract, Sorbitan Olivate, Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Allantoin, Glyceryl Caprylate, Tochopherol (Vitamin E), Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract, Bulnesia Sarmienti (Guaiacwood) Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Oil, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Oil, Vetiveria Zizanioides (Vetiver) Root Oil, Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Oil, Alpha-Bisabolol, Beta-Caryophyllene, Terpineol, Humulene

I had more luck finding what quantities these are in cannabis flower… obviously not helpful… ? (Yes I’m rethinking the Frankincense Resin after talking to Pharma - thanks for the advise! My other options are Tuberose and Mimosa for affordable floral waxes, Tuberose being more expensive (sounds like it has more Anti-Inflammatory though… there’s Violet and Lotus too as far as what’s not a known contact allergen)

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Looks like Terpineol is a contact allergen… so scrap that (it’s irritating anyways so guess that’s a good thing anyways).

Maybe if I search long enough I’ll find something on Humulene but I’ve been searching for a day and just not having any luck.
