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 Liberty Natural's current Sweet Yuzu Korea COA and product page for the named item, then expanded with a public Korea-tagged GC-MS profile page from Scent.vn to capture additional minor constituents. The public Korea profile remains limonene-dominant with gamma-terpinene, linalool, beta-phellandrene, alpha-pinene, alpha-phellandrene, myrcene, beta-pinene, and terpinolene in support.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps
Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.
- The public Liberty COA publishes only limonene and gamma-terpinene explicitly; the fuller minor-constituent list here comes from a separate public Korea-tagged GC-MS profile page rather than Liberty's own batch report.
- No directly measured public volatility-rate or tenacity-hour values were verified in this pass.
