What are Terpenes and Why Do They Matter?

At Bee Well, we don’t just believe in high-potency CBD — we believe in synergy. That’s why every product we make is formulated with essential oils rich in terpenes: natural aromatic compounds that offer therapeutic effects of their own.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are the aromatic molecules that give plants their scent and character. Found in lavender, citrus peels, pine needles, and even black pepper, these compounds do more than smell good — they interact with our bodies and brains in profound ways.

When combined with CBD, terpenes may help shape the overall experience: calming, uplifting, focusing, or sedating, depending on the specific blend. This is sometimes referred to as the “entourage effect.”

How We Use Terpenes at Bee Well

Each of our products is designed with a therapeutic goal in mind. For example:

• Stress-Less: Lavender and frankincense provide calming linalool and grounding beta-caryophyllene.
• Mind/Body Balance: Bergamot and frankincense help elevate mood while promoting calm.
• PM Plus: Enhanced with additional myrcene for sleep support.
• Pain Expel: Uses beta-caryophyllene and other anti-inflammatory terpenes for muscle recovery.

Why It Matters

We take the guesswork out of blending by choosing essential oils with well-known terpene profiles and matching them to the purpose of each formula. The result is a more targeted, effective product — no gimmicks, no fluff. Just plant-based science at its best.

If you’ve ever felt like a product “just works better,” chances are, the terpenes had something to do with it.
