What natural and purity claims can we make for this peppermint oil?
Because this oil is a genuine single-species 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 fresh flowering M. × piperita; no synthetic components |
| Undiluted / no carrier | COA density, RI, rotation match pure-oil ranges; GC-MS shows no diluent peak |
| No synthetic menthol added | Natural menthol/menthone/ester balance; natural optical rotation −30° to −10° |
| Vegan and cruelty-free | Plant origin, no animal-derived processing aids |
| Non-GMO | Traditional vegetatively propagated cultivar |
| No preservatives needed | Pure water-free oil phase |
| Single botanical (Mentha × piperita) | Cultivar authentication at raw-material intake |
Claims to Avoid
- Therapeutic or medical claims (e.g. treats digestive complaints) without drug registration — prohibited in most markets
- Certified organic unless the lot carries an organic certificate; we can arrange organic-grade lots on request
- Unlimited flavouring use: pulegone restrictions in the EU (100 mg/kg in beverages) and IFRA Cat 12 rules must be respected in finished products
How We Document Purity
- Every batch COA lists density, refractive index, optical rotation, acid value, total menthol, pulegone and the GC-MS component table
- IFRA compliance certificate, EU allergen declaration and SDS are provided with each shipment
- Third-party testing (GC-MS fingerprint, heavy metals, pesticide residues) can be arranged per destination market
