Recital 2 b (new)
(2b) Essential oils are natural, renewable products of agricultural and plant origin, made up of heterogeneous components that cannot be formulated or pre-calibrated. An essential oil cannot be chemically reproduced by combining its individual components. An essential oil is therefore intrinsically a substance, like vegetable oils, and not a mixture of ingredients, since the identification of an essential oil is incomplete if the ingredients are considered separately. In addition, the scientific evidence on essential oils shows that specific ingredients considered in isolation may have hazardous properties that are not expressed when naturally present in an essential oil assessed as a whole substance.
