A little clarity.
Does the working formula contain fragrance?
Yes. Helichrysum and German blue chamomile are aromatic essential oils. This working formula should not be described as fragrance-free.
Why include antioxidants?
Mixed tocopherols and the intended rosemary antioxidant help protect the oils against oxidation. They are not a substitute for verifying the finished product’s stability and microbial safety.
Where will the final ingredient list appear?
The finalized ingredient declaration will be available on the product page and reflected in the product labeling before orders open.
