Can this Shennong chrysanthemum oil be used in food or tobacco flavoring, and what compliance applies?
The oil is primarily positioned for cosmetics, aromatherapy and fine fragrance. For food or tobacco applications, its use is possible under applicable regulations, but verification of the exact market rules in your destination country is required before use.
Application & Compliance Notes

|---|---|
| Cosmetics / personal care | Yes — listed in the 2021 Chinese Catalogue of Used Cosmetic Ingredients (No. 09175) |
| Aromatherapy / fragrance | Yes — core positioning |
| Tobacco flavoring | Feasible; enzyme-pretreatment extraction (CN101731748B) optimizes the volatile fraction for this use |
| Food flavoring | Subject to national food-flavoring positive-list rules in each market; not a primary positioning |
- As a botanically wild-sourced, naturally occurring oil, food-grade use must be confirmed against the applicable positive lists (e.g., China GB 2760, FDA 21 CFR, EU flavoring regulation) for the destination market
- We can supply the GC-MS composition data needed for a food-grade or tobacco-grade compliance review
- For non-food segments we provide the cosmetic ingredient dossier (INCI, SDS, allergen data)
