Do you accept international orders?

Yes! OCTA happily ships anywhere in the world. Please contact my staff through our contact page with your order. We will process the order offline, provide an international shipping quote, collect payment, and ship your order.

Do you offer wholesale accounts? 

Yes! To verify wholesale status, please set up an account and upload your resale certificate.  Once verified, we will honor your wholesale status in our system.

Are your products safe?

Yes. OCTA adheres to the same high-quality standards and manufacturing practices used across the food-grade flavoring industry. Our ingredients are sourced from five primary GMP-certified chemical companies used by all other domestic terpene companies. We track all raw materials and log batches and lot numbers for incoming and outgoing materials. We use only FEMA/GRAS (food grade generally recognized as safe) botanical-based terpenes and flavor molecules in our products. Products are personally formulated in client-specific batches and then tested to ensure consistent flavor profiles for an exceptional customer experience. 

Are your products commercial or consumer grade?

All OCTA products are commercial-grade formulations that are intended for professional use only by experienced CPG manufacturers. They are NOT labeled for resale or meant for consumer-level use.

What is the shelf life of your products?

Terpenes are ever evolving and changing once mixed. The flavor profile will continue to change the longer the blend sits. Customers are encouraged to order what they need and order more frequently to ensure optimal freshness. Strain specific profiles will last an average of 6-8 months while fruit and dessert flavors will begin to change after about 3-4 months. ALL terpene blends will slowly denature over time resulting in an increase of residual solvents. Use after 1 year is not recommended.

Do you make custom flavors? 

Yes! For over a decade my business and reputation have been built on the creation of exclusive custom flavors. Creating that perfect flavor that aligns with my customer’s imagination is the core of what I do. Feel free to reach out in the contact section and tell me what you need.

What do your products taste like?

OCTA’s products taste amazing and are created to be the most faithful representations of what nature does so perfectly. That said, flavor and taste are very personal and subjective things. At the end of the day the best flavor is the one YOU like. There is no right or wrong, correct or incorrect. If you haven’t explored what I do, I implore you to do so!! My job is to blow your mind. Good enough is never good enough and caring about what you do costs zero dollars and makes 100% of the difference!

Can you make master formulations and edibles flavoring?

Yes! If you need assistance creating a master formula for a beverage, edible or vape product just ask. My background as a chef and formulator for cosmetics/food and beverage can more than likely get you where you need to be. I can also offer any flavor blend in a format suitable for beverages or high temperature applications such as gummy production.
