Quality Control

Our Guaiacwood Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure consistency and purity for industrial applications. While specific grades (e.g., FCC for food flavoring) are available, all products undergo rigorous analytical testing including organoleptic evaluation, gas chromatography (GC), and specific gravity checks.

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).
