Default Is Minwax Tung Oil 'Pure' Tung Oil?

I'm finishing some birdseye maple and want to use tung oil to minimize
yellowing. Is all tung oil the same?
I see 'tung oil' and then 'pure tung oil' advertised. I'm worried
about other addatives causing some yellowing.

If you want tung oil, you need to get "Pure Tung Oil". It is one of my favorite
finishes, but it will darken maple. Too much for my taste. I am in the final
stages of making a spalted maple box and am planning to use super blond shellac.
