This category covers essential oils, resinoids, and various extracts derived from plants, including those obtained through methods like enfleurage or maceration. The items are sorted into specific groups based on their source, such as oils from oranges, lemons, peppermint, or other citrus and mint varieties. Other classifications account for terpeneless versions, concretes, absolutes, and concentrates mixed with fats or waxes. The remaining entries capture aqueous distillates, solutions, and other related products not listed in the more specific categories.
