There are so many different energetic blends to choose from, and so many ways to harness the therapeutic value of terpenes in your home!
Enhance your skin care routine
Many terpenes have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making them beneficial for skincare products like topical creams, lotions, serums, and balms. When you add terpenes to your skincare routine, it is also known as holistic aromatherapy. It combines the benefits of terpenes' anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties with diffusion, because as the terpenes are absorbed into your skin, you also get to smell them!
You can add CannTerp liquid terpenes to your favourite topical cream or balm to give it a pleasant aroma and skin-soothing properties. Linalool is safe for most skin types and can be added to a night cream or serum to infuse your bedtime and promote restful sleep! Stimulating terpenes can also be added to shower gel and soaps to get a refreshing blast of aromatics every time you use them! Generally, you only want to add up to 2% liquid terpenes to your topical formula. So, if your lotion base is 100ml, you only need about 2ml of liquid terpenes, or 40 drops.
Massage therapy
Making massage oils is one of the easiest topicals to formulate! Plus, by adding terpenes, you can enhance the therapeutic effects of the massage experience for more profound relaxation. When combined with massage, terpenes can deeply penetrate the skin and move into the body. Here is a simple recipe for a pain relief massage oil:
100ml of carrier oil like Jojoba, Rice bran or Olive oil
10ml Castor oil
10ml Hemp seed oil
2ml (40 drops) CannTerp Pain Relief liquid terpene blend
Add the ingredients into a clean bottle, gently stir, and it is ready!
Add a few drops of CBD or THC oil to increase the therapeutic benefits of your cannabis terpene oil. Cannabinoids can piggyback on tiny terpene molecules and have longer-lasting effects on the body when used in combination!
Natural perfume
The beauty and wellness industry has been embracing the trend of natural perfume, and it's no surprise why. Synthetic fragrances often contain artificial ingredients and harmful chemicals, while natural perfumes are made from plant-based ingredients like essential oils and terpenes. Mixing terpenes with carrier oils makes it simple to create a personalized fragrance that smells wonderful and delivers natural aromatherapy benefits.
You can create your natural perfume by blending CannTerp liquid terpenes with a carrier oil like Jojoba or Sweet almond oil in a roll-on bottle! To make a custom fragrance, add 20% terpenes to your carrier oil. You can design your formula based on which smells you like and mix and match those terpenes until you find the perfect scent. Or you can craft a custom terpene aromatherapy blend for a specific use! Feeling anxious and stressed? Why not make a custom fragrance using terpenes for anxiety?
