Putting Mac Live Resin into our distillate was mind blowing. More intense high and lasted much longer.

Botanical Terpene FAQs
What are botanical derived terpenes and how are they different from cannabis-derived?
Botanical derived terpenes are extracted from non-cannabis plants (citrus, pine, lavender), then formulated to match cannabis strain profiles. Molecular structure is identical.
Cannabis-derived products come directly from cannabis.
Real differences: regulatory complexity and cost. Botanicals offer 70-85% savings, food-grade status, and no cannabis regulations.
Choose BDT for: High-volume production, tight margins, food/beverage, or regulatory simplicity.
How much CDT should I use in vape formulations?
Industry standard is 5-10% by weight. Most R&D teams using our cannabis terpenes for vapes find their sweet spot at 4-6%—that's 20-30% less than botanical terpenes.
Pro tip: Start at 3-5%, test in your actual formulation, adjust up. Order sample packs to dial it in before bulk.
Can I blend botanicals with CDT?
Absolutely. Many brands use CDT as a base (3-4%) + botanicals (3-4%) for depth and cost management.
Blending strategies:
- Premium line: 100% CDT
- Mid-tier: 50/50 CDT + botanical
- Volume line: 100% botanical
Let's you offer authentic CDT products without blowing your budget on every SKU.
How much should I use per batch?
Industry standard for botanical terpenes is 4-6% by weight, slightly lower than CDT's 4-6% due to concentration differences. Most R&D teams start at 3-4% and adjust.
Pro tips:
- Start at 3%, test, adjust upward
- Botanicals are forgiving—wider dosing window than CDT
- Order sample packs to dial in your formulation before bulk
Are these safe and compliant?
Yes. Our botanical derived terpenes meet identical standards:
✓ ISO 9001 & GMP certified facilities
✓ Food-grade - GRAS status
✓ Third-party tested COAs
Advantage: Botanicals skip cannabis-specific regulations entirely. Simpler compliance for multi-state and international operations.
Do these work in food and beverage?
Yes, this is where botanicals shine. GRAS status means our food-grade terpenes are approved for edibles, beverages, and topicals without the regulatory complexity of cannabis-derived ingredients.
Perfect for: Gummies, seltzers, tinctures, topicals, cosmetics, and any product entering mainstream retail where "cannabis-derived" creates legal hurdles.
How should I store these?
Cool + dark + sealed tight = 18-24 month shelf life (longer than CDT).
Store in original amber bottles in a cupboard and seal after each use. Botanicals are actually more stable than cannabis-derived compounds due to simpler profiles.
