Terpineol
Terpineol is a naturally occurring terpene known for its pleasant scent and therapeutic potential. There are four isomers of α-terpineol, but the most common, alpha-terpineol, is commonly found in cannabis and cannabis products. Naturally present in over 150 plants, including lilacs, lime blossoms, and pine, Terpinol’s pleasant aroma contains layers of floral scent and flavor similar to lilac and citrus. This gives the cannabis a floral note and is often found in a mixture with limonene and other functional group terpenes, and is frequently found in company with pinene, another terpene prevalent in cannabis.

It has been shown to help reduce periodontopathic bacteria, which is known to cause infectious dental diseases.Terpineol can also contribute to skincare formulations due to its safe antibacterial and antioxidant nature.
- Antiproliferative: In addition to its antioxidant properties, terpineol has shown to have a promising potential to eliminate and hinder the spread of tumors.
