Transparent Product Information: Certificate of Analysis (COA)

 

We believe in providing our valued customers with a seamless and convenient shopping experience. That's why we've streamlined access to essential information from the Certificate of Analysis (COA) for our products.

Instead of requiring a separate document download, we've integrated this critical data into the "Identification" tab of each product page. This ensures transparency and accessibility, allowing you to easily find the COA information you need right where you're viewing the product.

Under the "Identification" tab, you'll find comprehensive details, including:

  • INCI Name

  • CAS number

  • Latin name

  • Extraction methods

  • Part used / Ingredients list

  • Origin

  • Common names

  • Appearance

  • Odour notes

  • Quality (e.g., natural, organic)

  • Active Ingredients

  • Storage instructions

Please note that batch numbers and best before (BB) dates will be clearly visible on the labels of the products you receive.


 

Documentation Disclosure: GC/MS and IFRA Standards

 

As an online retail platform, we typically do not provide additional support documentation such as GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) and IFRA (International Fragrance Association) standards, which we receive from our suppliers.

 

Understanding GC/MS Reports

 

GC/MS analyses are carried out in modern laboratories to study the molecular composition and concentration of ingredients. These analysis reports serve as a reference for various industries (e.g., pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food) to formulate products in accordance with international health and safety regulations.

In aromatherapy, GC/MS reports help assess the conformity and concentration of molecules naturally present in essential oils. This molecular specificity, or chemotype, can help trained professionals (e.g., pharmacists, aromatherapists, flavor and fragrance chemists) define and recommend appropriate applications, safety dosages, and usage restrictions.

Many producers do not have in-house laboratories and rely on independent third-party labs for these analyses. These analyses can be costly, and the results are often proprietary and limited to the specific batch samples. While some companies may share these results to assist professional customers with regulations or for research, this is not always the case.

 

Our Commitment to Supplier Confidentiality

 

The laboratory reports we receive from our suppliers are usually accompanied by a non-disclosure clause, similar to these examples:

  • "© Copyright (Date) (company or lab name), All rights reserved. This report is provided as a courtesy to our direct customer for their exclusive use and evaluation only. Any other use, publishing, dissemination, copying in whole or in part, or distribution of this report, including online, without express written permission of (company/lab name) is prohibited."

  • "For reasons of data protection concerning the issuing authorities, documents cannot be published on the internet."

As we must comply with our trusted suppliers' copyright reserves (lab reports belong to them), we transcribe authorized product information onto the "Identification" tabs of our product pages. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving your needs.
