THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
This record is anchored to a directly readable 2021 Lotus Garden Botanicals certificate of analysis for virgin strawberry seed oil. The published fatty-acid profile shows a classic lightweight fixed oil dominated by linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid, with smaller oleic, palmitic, and stearic fractions.

What we're still learning · 3 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- The numeric max_dermal_pct of 100 reflects the archive's unrestricted fixed-oil convention based on a reviewed supplier statement that virgin strawberry seed oil may be used full strength, not a dedicated published toxicology monograph with a separate leave-on ceiling.
- Odor intensity 25 is an archive normalization of the COA and supplier language describing a characteristic but gentle odor, not a directly published 0-100 measurement.
- No public source located in this pass gave directly measured volatility-rate or tenacity-hour values for strawberry seed oil.
