Do you test zhike fruit peel oil for heavy metals and pesticide residues?
Yes, on a risk-based schedule. Standard routine: heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) by ICP-MS and a pesticides screen by GC-MS/MS multi-residue method on the raw botanical and/or the finished oil, with frequency set by origin risk and customer requirement. Full-batch or third-party testing (SGS, Eurofins or an accredited lab of your choice) can be arranged for premium or regulated markets.
Note on limits: because no dedicated product standard fixes residue limits for this oil, applicable limits follow the destination market's framework — e.g. EU pesticide MRL logic for botanicals/extracts (Reg. (EC) 396/2005 family) and cosmetics heavy-metal guidance (EC) 1223/2009 impurities provisions — and are confirmed against the customer's specification at contract stage. Test results are appended to the COA or issued as separate reports.
