The oil is a clear to light-yellow liquid that ranges from pale yellow to light amber, typical of steam-distilled Lonicera japonica flower-bud oil.

We lock each batch against an in-house color standard and record the visual result on the Certificate of Analysis, so any shift stays within a documented, acceptable range and never affects aroma performance.If your label requires a strictly defined color tolerance, we can supply reference standards and adjust blending before shipment.
