Quality Control

Our Camellia Sinensis Leaf Oil is produced and tested to ensure consistency and purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to confirm botanical authenticity and compositional profile. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters is provided with each batch to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen headspace) after opening to maximize shelf-life and prevent degradation.
