Quality Control

Our Geranylsalicylate is produced under strict 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. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
