Quality Control

Our Zilascorb is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for cosmetic and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
