Quality Control

Our Aloesin is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and related substances. While we offer standard cosmetic and research grades, our processes are designed to meet the stringent requirements of various pharmacopoeial standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
