Quality Control

Our Storax Oil is sourced and processed under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and authenticity. Quality is assessed through organoleptic evaluation, specific gravity, refractive index, and chromatographic analysis (GC/MS) to confirm its characteristic chemical profile. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of its aromatic qualities. Keep away from heat and open flame.
