Definition
A type of triterpenoid compound found in the resins and essential oils of certain plants, used in perfumes and medicines.
Etymology
From the genus Amyris, whose plants are rich in this compound, with the chemical suffix '-in.' The chemical name reflects its plant source.
Kelly Says
Amyrin is a triumph of plant chemistry—it's one of the most abundant triterpenoids in nature, found in plants across the globe, yet most people have never heard of it despite smelling it in perfumes and skincare products.
