Quality Control

Our Alcohols,Cedarwood-Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency in aroma profile and chemical composition. Quality is verified through GC-MS analysis, optical rotation, refractive index, and specific gravity measurements. While not typically USP/EP grade, production adheres to ISO and GMP guidelines where applicable. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific composition and physical constants is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality.
