Quality Control

Our Laurel Oil is produced and tested to ensure consistent quality and purity suitable for its target applications. We adhere to stringent quality assurance protocols, and each batch is analyzed against established specifications for key parameters such as organoleptic properties, refractive index, specific gravity, and chromatographic profile (GC/MS). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for every shipment to guarantee compliance.

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 - 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 and minimize headspace to preserve stability and shelf life.
