Hops Essential Oil Pekko

Hops Essential Oil Pekko

Humulus lupulus var Pekko

Hops Pekko is steam distilled from the flowers of Humulus lupulus, grown conventionally in the USA. The aroma is unusual and fun: citrus and melon, a little cucumber, with a sage-like edge underneath.

The chemistry is split almost evenly between two families. β-Myrcene, a monoterpene, came in at about 43% in our recent batch, with α-caryophyllene near 17% and β-caryophyllene near 14% on the sesquiterpene side. That combination is part of why Hops is loved for its calming character and its gentle support when a body feels achy after exertion. It's a quieting oil, one you reach for when you want to slow down.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and the full report for each one lives right here on this page, so you can see the numbers yourself.
