What does this litsea cubeba oil look like — appearance, color and consistency?
This litsea cubeba oil is a clear to pale yellow, mobile liquid, with a thin, free-flowing consistency typical of a citral-rich berry distillate. The colour is pale yellow to light yellow in a fresh batch and may deepen slightly with age or prolonged light exposure — a natural oxidation process that does not affect the citral content within the stated 36-month shelf life.
