Beta-Caryophyllene (BCP)

What is it?

Beta-Caryophyllene is a natural sesquiterpene found in many aromatic plants such as black pepper (Piper nigrum), clove (Syzygium aromaticum), hemp (Cannabis sativa), lavender, and rosemary. It has a warm, spicy, woody scent and is well-known for its beneficial properties in both aromatherapy and skincare.

Unlike other terpenes, BCP selectively binds to CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, offering soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits without psychoactive effects.
