Does this lemongrass oil comply with EU REACH and fragrance rules?
Yes. EU compliance is handled in three layers. Under REACH, the substance (CAS 8007-02-1, EC 616-903-3) is supplied with the standard notification documents; the importing company (or its Only Representative) is responsible for registration above 1 t/yr. Under CLP, the batch is classified per the SDS with H315/H319/H335. Under the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, the finished cosmetic must list the EU 2023/1545 allergens — all six are triggered by this oil (citral 60.34%, geraniol 4.08%, d-limonene 4.90%, linalool 3.03%, citronellol 0.10%, citronellal 0.19%).
