FCF
Understanding FCF Oils
When ordering essential oils, you may see the designation FCF (Furocoumarin-Free).
What it means: This indicates that the manufacturer has removed the furocoumarins, meaning the oil is most likely not phototoxic.
The Caveat: The furocoumarins can sometimes contribute to other properties of the oil (e.g., anti-bacterial or anti-fungal effects). If you are seeking these specific therapeutic qualities, ordering the FCF version may make the oil less effective for that purpose. Always check with your supplier or practitioner.
