About ABIES ALBA CONE OIL

Silver fir cone essential oil (Templin oil) containing limonene as the major component, restricted under EU Annex III and subject to allergen declaration requirements due to fragrance chemical content.

Detailed Analysis

Abies alba cone oil (CAS 90028-76-5) is listed in EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III under reference III/103, which establishes restrictions on certain essential oils and their constituents. Its primary constituent is L-limonene (d-limonene), a monoterpene listed as a fragrance allergen requiring mandatory declaration. PubChem score of 63 reflects moderate hazard. The oil is also listed as restricted due to ozone-layer depletion provisions (likely erroneously referenced as the oil contains terpenes that may contribute to VOC issues, though the specific restriction appears misattributed in the source data).
