The Science We Stand On
All Modest & Co. products are tested using SPME-GC analysis, showing an 82% reduction in cannabis odor via terpene-binding enzymes. Testing was conducted by AirSense Labs in Pasadena, CA, across five residential homes with 45–60 minute cannabis sessions. Full methodology available upon request.
Peer-reviewed studies, such as those in the Journal of Environmental Science, support the use of essential oils containing limonene, linalool, and eugenol for neutralizing VOCs and cannabis-related terpenes in indoor air.
