Quality Control

Our Zinc(2+) N6-(1-Oxotetradecyl)-L-Lysinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition, suitable for cosmetic and topical pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metal limits, and microbiological quality is provided with every shipment.

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 moisture absorption and degradation.
