I’m Available to Assist Perfumers on several forums
Originally posted April 10, 2013 I’m always happy to help hobby and professional perfumers. Here’s a good question that was asked today in the Yahoo group I host, and here’s my answer. Perhaps it can help someone else! The iconic image that has graced the homepage of the Yahoo Natural Perfumery group I’ve hosted since 2002 > I was just given a sample in Shopper’s Drugmart of a product that states, “100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin”. Upon reading the list it ends with “…Tocopherol, Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol, Coumarin ” > > Please correct me if I’m wrong. I understand that tocopherol may be vitamin E oil. The next few ingredients would be natural isolates, correct? Does anyone know what the letters and numbers inside the brackets mean? > > Thanks a bunch for helping me out, > Suzy > Hi Suzy: The tocopherol is a form of vitamin E oil, added to help retard oxidation. The others are not isolates, they are chemical constituents of essential oil
