Both tenacity figures are blotter life. The two labs use different evaluation protocols, so the numbers are not directly comparable — read them as two independent readings, not as a contradiction.

| Critical Effect | Carcinogenicity, Genotoxicity By Release Of Polynuclear Hydrocarbons (pah) |
| Specification | Only rectified (redistilled) oil manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice may be used. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) benzo[a]pyrene and 1,2-benzanthracene must not exceed 1 ppb (0.0000001 %) in total in the finished product, counted together with any other PAH-bearing material (rectified Cade oil, rectified Birch tar oil, pyrogenic Styrax oil, Opoponax). The crude, unrectified pyrolysate is prohibited. |
Restricted components
| Component | Share |

| Isoeugenol | 1 % |
| Eugenol | 0.5 % |
| Methyl Eugenol | 0.0003 % |
IFRA regulated substances declared for this material. For naturals — which are mixtures of many molecules — the interactive index derives the effective maximum concentration per category from them. On single molecules these shares are purity traces from the supplier specification; they are far too small to limit use and are therefore not counted.
EU allergen declaration
| Substance | Share |
|---|---|
| Isoeugenol | 1 % |
| Eugenol | 0.5 % |
Substances that must be named in the ingredient list under Annex III of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545. Where a range was given, the upper bound is shown.
