What natural and purity claims can I make for lime oil?
The claim chain is documented, not asserted.Identity — Citrus aurantifolia, Fruit peel, Cold-pressed, declared on the COA.Process — solvent-free cold-pressed extraction; no fractions or carriers added.Analytics — the batch GC-MS fingerprint must match the natural profile of the species.Traceability — the batch number links the oil to the orchard lot and the COA.That supports "100% natural", "undiluted" and "solvent-free" claims. "Organic" needs a certified lot. Stable-isotope or enantiomeric analysis can be added through accredited labs for premium contracts.
Is this lime oil 100% natural and undiluted?

What that means in practiceOne botanical source: Citrus aurantifolia, Fruit peel.One process route: Cold-pressed.GC-MS fingerprint must match the natural distribution profile of the species.No dilution peaks and no solvent peaks appear on the chromatogram.Any lot whose fingerprint drifts from the natural profile is blocked.
