What natural and purity claims can we make for this patchouli oil?
Because this oil is a genuine, single-source steam distillate with no blending or spiking, the following claims are defensible with our documentation:
Claims We Can Support
| Claim | Supporting evidence |
|---|---|
| 100% natural | Steam distillation of dried fermented P. cablin leaves; no synthetic components |
| Undiluted / no carrier | COA density, RI, rotation match pure-oil ranges; GC-MS shows no diluent peak |
| No synthetic patchoulol added | Patchoulol comes only from distillation; natural optical rotation −35° to −60° |
| Vegan and cruelty-free | Plant origin, no animal-derived processing aids |
| Non-GMO | Traditional crop varieties; no GMO use at source |
| No preservatives needed | Water-insoluble pure oil phase; no preservative added |
| Single botanical (Pogostemon cablin) | Raw-material declaration and botanical authentication |
Claims to Avoid
- Therapeutic or disease-treatment claims (e.g. cure, treatment) — prohibited in most markets without drug registration
- Certified organic unless the lot carries an organic certificate — we can supply organic-grade lots on request, but the standard grade is not labelled organic
- Food grade in the EU/US without confirming FEMA/EU flavouring compliance — our food-compliant release is documented per order (FEMA 2838 / GB 2760 N007)
How We Document Purity
- Every batch has a COA listing density, refractive index, optical rotation, acid/ester value, patchoulol content and GC-MS profile
- IfRA compliance certificate, allergen statement and SDS are provided with each shipment
- Third-party testing (GC-MS fingerprint, heavy metals, pesticides) can be arranged against your destination market requirements
