This product is 100% natural, contains no carriers and corresponds to the EG standard 88/388 for natural flavors. NOTE: In aromatherapy, Calamus is not highly recommended due to its high content of beta asorone which has been found to cause cancer in rats when fed to them 0.05%-0.5% in a daily diet. Some have also found this oil to be a skin sensitizer. However, more research needs to be done about this oil to further verify these claims. We recommend that if you choose to use Calamus you do your extensive research prior to use. There are many biblical references to Calamus.
