Q: What does FCF mean?
A: FCF commonly refers to “furanocoumarin-free,” a grade often selected when lower furanocoumarin content is desired.

Q: Can I use this in a water-based spray?
A: Not directly. Essential oils are not water soluble, so a suitable solubiliser is required for stable water-based sprays.

Q: Why might the aroma vary between batches?
A: Natural essential oils can vary slightly due to seasonal conditions, origin, and harvest variability.
