Is Lippia Citriodora Distillate clean?

Is Lippia Citriodora Distillate sustainable?
This material is plant-derived and readily biodegradable, with a relatively simple water or steam distillation pathway. Its footprint depends on agricultural practices, irrigation, and the energy used for distillation.
Is Lippia Citriodora Distillate COSMOS-approved?
It is generally permitted under COSMOS Natural, and it can fit COSMOS Organic formulas when the botanical input and processing meet the standard’s organic and physical-processing rules. Its Green Chemistry profile is favorable because it uses renewable plant feedstock and water-based distillation, though distillation energy is the main tradeoff.
How does Lippia Citriodora Distillate work chemically?
This material is an aqueous it containing water plus trace volatile molecules, often including terpenes, alcohols, and aldehydes such as citral isomers, linalool, and limonene. It is usually used as part of the water phase, is compatible with typical skin-care pH ranges, and still needs a full preservative system because distillation does not preserve the finished formula.
