Why couldn’t we just label all our oils ‘pure essential oil’?

We have relabelled our products following regulatory guidance to ensure we are compliant with current European legislation. It was necessary on the cosmetic category products to sub divide the category to make it obvious what type of cosmetic product it is (i.e. to go on the skin). The food flavouring label regulation doesn’t have specific requirements that the function be listed, whereas the cosmetic regulation 1223/2009 does.
