Classification follows primary function, essential character, common parlance and consumer perception, rather than medicinal qualities of ingredients; products intended for general well-being without specific therapeutic claims or drug recognition are not medicaments. The water-based product was also outside Chapter 33 because it contained no extracted essential oil and was not aromatic or intended for perfumery, cosmetics or flavouring.
