Bisabolol, also known as alpha-bisabolol, is a captivating monocyclic sesquiterpene primarily found in the essential oil of the chamomile flower and candeia tree. It is also present in other botanical sources like sage and myrtle. Known for its gentle, sweet floral aroma, bisabolol is a key component in the aromatic profiles of various cosmetic and medicinal products.
At Fern Valley Farms, we concentrate on Cannabis-Derived Terpenes, including bisabolol, due to its notable role in the “entourage effect.” This phenomenon refers to the synergistic interactions between terpenes and cannabinoids, enhancing their therapeutic benefits.
By harnessing these interactions, we aim to offer a more holistic approach to wellness, potentially providing more substantial health benefits than terpenes derived from non-cannabis sources.

Bisabolol in Hemp Products
At Fern Valley Farms, we recognize that bisabolol is not typically found in high concentrations in hemp. However, this terpene may still be found in small amounts in our CBD Flower, specifically in cultivars such as Fruit Loopz and Lemon Octane.
While bisabolol is a minor component in these products, its presence contributes to the unique terpene profile and enhances the overall experience.
