What natural and purity claims can be made for zedoary turmeric oil?
Because the oil is steam-distilled directly from rhizomes and released with an HPLC fingerprint, you may truthfully claim: 100% natural zedoary turmeric oil, pure plant oil, no dilution, no synthetic additives, and (for pharmacopoeia grade) meeting Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 quality requirements. Avoid claims that are not supported by our COA.
Supported Claims
| Claim | Basis |
|---|---|
| 100% natural | Steam distillation of Curcuma rhizomes, GC-MS natural profile |
| Undiluted / no carrier oil | HPLC fingerprint, density and RI match pure oil ranges |
| No synthetic additives | No preservatives, colourants or synthetic antioxidants added |
| Germacrone ≥7.5%, furanodiene ≥10.0% | HPLC quantification on COA (pharmacopoeia grade) |
| Pharmacopoeia compliance | ChP 2025 Vol. I monograph test results |
| TCM herbal oil | Rhizoma Curcumae Zedoariae source |
Claims To Avoid
- 'FDA approved' or 'certified medicine' — the oil is a raw material, not a finished drug
- 'Treats or cures cancer' — anti-tumour activity is research-level only; medical claims require regulatory approval in the destination country
- '100% pure curcumol' — the oil is a mixture; only molecular-distilled fractions may carry such a claim
- Any therapeutic claim not registered in your local market
How To Label Safely
- Use descriptor claims ('aromatherapy-grade', 'for external use') rather than medicinal claims for general markets
- For food-flavour use, label as 'food natural flavouring (Curcuma oil), FEMA 3085' per GB 2760
- For cosmetics, use the INCI name and standard function descriptors
