Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for every batch?
Yes — a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) is issued for every batch of michelia leaf oil, and it is attached to the batch record, the quotation and the shipment documents.

Additional Batch Records
- GC-MS chromatogram with peak table (linalool, nerolidol, methyl eugenol and minor markers)
- Microbiological results when cosmetic-grade is requested (total count, yeast & mould, pathogens per GB 7916)
- Heavy metal results (Pb, As, Hg, Cd) for food-grade lots
- Batch number is printed on every drum, jerry can and bottle so the COA can always be traced back
