Quality Control

Our (-)-α-Bisabolol is produced and tested under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing parameters such as enantiomeric purity, assay, and impurity profiles. The product is suitable for applications requiring compliance with standards such as ISO, GMP, and REACH. Specific grades, including those meeting cosmetic or pharmaceutical monograph requirements, are available upon inquiry.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
