This episode dives into beta-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene with a 15-carbon structure, making it a heavier, slower-evaporating component. Found in oils like Copaiba and Black Pepper, it adds depth and longevity to blends. We explore its chemistry and how it supports more balanced, grounding aromatherapy experiences.

In this episode:

  • Beta-caryophyllene is a sesquiterpene with 15 carbons, making it heavier and a base note.
  • Copaiba Balsam is the richest beta-caryophyllene oil on the shelf, and Black Pepper leads with it too.
  • Understanding chemical components allows for confident oil substitution in blends.
  • A salt inhaler is a simple DIY project that's practical and accessible.
  • Beta-caryophyllene's slow evaporation rate enhances the longevity of essential oil blends.
