Q: Can I use this in a water-based spray or mist?
A: Not directly. Essential oils are not water soluble, so you’ll need a suitable solubiliser for a stable water-based product.

Q: Can I use this essential oil in food?
A: It is supplied as food grade and intended for flavour use when used appropriately. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so use only in very small amounts as directed and in line with local regulations.

Q: Why does it sometimes feel thicker than other essential oils?
A: Some essential oils have a naturally heavier, more resinous character, which can feel more viscous than lighter citrus or herbal oils.
