Quality Control

Our Tetrahydrogeranyl Methyl Ethyl Acetate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry guidelines for fragrance and cosmetic ingredients. Comprehensive testing, including identity, purity, and impurity profiling, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in partially used containers. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
