Materials
Fifteen materials, grouped by how each is obtained. What goes into the bottle: each material, the plant and part it comes from, how it is obtained and what it contains.
Each line is one record page: the name, a short fact, and the first line of the record. Every field on the page carries its source. Choose a group to show only that group; “All” shows them all again.
