Question: This product is milky with a delicate smell - is this normal? Answer: Due to the nature of the product being oil and tincture, one of the base oils is a natural emulsifier, which is necessary for ease of running through the machine. This does not compromise the product in any way.

Please note:
Phytopet do use alcohol in their tinctures, which is considered one of the best ways to extract the active constituents of the plant and is far superior to glycerine and better absorbed than powders.
They only use a miniscule amount, however if you are concerned about the alcohol you can put the drops into a small amount of hot water which will evaporate the alcohol off and allow it to cool then administer.
