Quality Control

Our Geranium Oil is produced and tested to ensure consistent quality and performance. While it is a natural product with inherent variability, we employ rigorous analytical methods including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to monitor key compositional markers. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as organoleptic properties, refractive index, specific gravity, and major component profile is provided with each batch to ensure it meets your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidizing agents. 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 of quality.
