INGREDIENTS
Melissa officinalis (Family Labiatae) essential oil, steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops, blended with other natural and nature identical extracts to create a standard* oil.
* 'Certain industries, and very large users, require material which is standardised so that the balance of chemical constituents is maintained, as well as the odour profile, which can easily differ seasonally and due to differing weather conditions. An oil may therefore be rectified by adding certain natural and/or nature identical aromatic ingredients, to maintain standards required by food, pharmaceutical, dental and beverage industries. This class is, however, not necessarily inferior in quality or efficacy.' - Escentia Products
