Quality Control

Our Rosehip Oil is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for high-end applications. We ensure batch-to-batch consistency through comprehensive analytical testing, including fatty acid profile (by GC), peroxide value, acid value, and specific gravity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physicochemical parameters are available upon request for quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Due to its nature as an oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it is easily oxidized; prolonged storage under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen headspace) is recommended for bulk quantities to maximize shelf life and preserve efficacy.
