Key Findings:  The present study demonstrates interactions among β-C, AO-(2) and P in the induction of apoptosis on A431 and HaCaT cells. These data suggest the combination of β-caryophyllene with aromadendrene oxide 2 and phytol could be potential therapeutics for the treatment of skin epidermoid cancer and precancerous cells.
