Alpha-phellandrene and beta-phellandrene are terpenes. Alpha-phellandrene can be found in eucalyptus oil while beta-phellandrene can be isolated from the oils of water fennel. Phellandrene is also found in Pine, Ginger Grass, Mint, Cinnamon, Lavender, Angelica and Parsley.

This terpene is known for a Minty and Citrus aromatic profile. Phellandrene is also known to have a woodsy aroma.

These profiles naturally complements such topical products as massage oil and would be the perfect match for a mint chocolate chip ice cream.
