Can I make ‘natural’ or ‘pure’ claims about this sweet orange oil in my products?
Yes — as long as the claim matches the facts. You may label this product as '100% natural sweet orange essential oil' or 'pure, undiluted', because that is what it is. Broader claims (organic, therapeutic, cosmetic benefits) need verification and compliance care.
