What we're still learning · 3 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

  • Odor intensity 65 is an archive normalization of AromaWeb's qualitative 'Medium - Strong' aroma-strength descriptor rather than a source-native 0-100 measurement.
  • The public Health Canada monograph provides a rosemary essential oil topical local-application ceiling of 1-6.5% for steam-distilled Rosmarinus officinalis, but it does not break that ceiling out by cineole chemotype.
  • No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour values were verified in this pass.
