Quality Control

Our Mastic Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including GC-MS for compositional analysis and organoleptic evaluation. While this natural product is typically offered in technical or food-grade qualities, Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific parameters are available upon request to support your compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area 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) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
