Our terpene brand
Our formulations are sold under Entour™.
The Werc Shop is the laboratory. Since launching our terpene formulation brand, Entour™, that is where terpene product sales and formulation services live. Same science, same patented methods, built for licensed manufacturers who need a profile to survive their process and repeat across batches.

Cannabis-derived terpene blends
Inspired®
Flavor-forward formulations

Formulation expertise
The same profile behaves differently in every format.
We create non-cannabis terpene flavor products to meet our partners’ dynamic preferences. A profile that reads beautifully on the bench has to survive heat, carrier interaction and shelf life once it is inside a real product.
Vapor cartridges
Thermal behavior and carrier compatibility
Edibles
Flavor load, sweetness and fat interaction
Beverages
Dispersion, stability and aroma release
Tablets and sublinguals
Dose, mouthfeel and carrier selection
Concentrates
Integrity, intensity and batch consistency
Private label
Specification, packaging and repeat production
Scientific leadership
Built from laboratory work, not category marketing.
The Werc Shop® was founded by Dr Raber in 2010 and initially established itself as an independent testing laboratory in Southern California. In 2014 we saw an obvious need to help standardize medical cannabis products and expanded into private label branding services.
Dr Raber earned his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2002 from USC, where he was a Harold and Lillian Moulton Fellow. He holds multiple patents, has published several peer-reviewed articles, and is widely considered a leading expert on the chemistry of cannabis.
