What natural and purity claims can I legally make for this green mandarin oil?
Because TPS-RO-012 is a straight cold-pressed essential oil with no additives, you can confidently use the classic natural claims — as long as they match how the oil is actually used in your finished product.
Claims You Can Make
| Claim | Basis | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 100% natural essential oil | Single botanical source, physical cold pressing, no synthetic input | Always true for this product |
| Pure / undiluted | Density, RI, and GC-MS markers confirm no carrier or synthetic top-up | State on the CoA; keep batch records |
| Cold-pressed | Expression of fresh peel below 30°C | Always true for this product |
| No artificial flavour/colour added | The oil IS the flavour; no added colour | Valid for neat oil supply |
| No preservatives / solvent-free | No additives, no extraction solvent | Always true for this product |
| Phthalate-free | Nothing added to the oil itself | Keep the claim product-specific |
- Do not claim "organic" without separate certification (see the organic certification FAQ)
- Do not claim therapeutic or medical effects without market-specific approvals
- EU 2023/1545 allergen labelling still applies: limonene (≥65%) and linalool must be declared in finished cosmetics
- IFRA 51st restricts furocoumarin-bearing citrus oils to 2% in leave-on categories — keep that in mind for label claims about perfume use
- Keep one batch CoA per production lot so every claim you print can be traced to a test result
