What Is Limonene?

Limonene is a bright, citrus-forward terpene known for its uplifting and mood-supporting effects. Found in citrus fruit peels, rosemary, and certain strains of cannabis, Limonene brings notes of lemon zest, sweet orange, and fresh herbal brightness.

Limonene terpene is associated with clear-headed energy and a sense of emotional ease, making it a favorite in strains known for daytime use, creativity, and gentle motivation. If a strain smells like fresh lemon, orange peel, or clean citrus, there's a good chance Limonene is the star.
