In the realm of herbal and botanical products, our extensive expertise and diverse array of testing techniques stand as a testament to our commitment to delivering independent, timely, and accurate testing analyses for extracts, essential oils, and flavoring compounds.

As the trend toward self-care gains momentum among consumers, the necessity for herbal and botanical brands to have the right testing partner has never been more crucial. The inherent complexity of herbal ingredients, coupled with technical and quality assurance challenges, necessitates a testing process that is both rigorous and meticulous.

One of the primary challenges lies in setting specifications for identity, strength, and composition. In herbals, marker compounds play a pivotal role. These stable molecules remain constant despite variations in harvesting, storage, and processing conditions. Finding such stable molecules and sourcing standards of suitable purity in botanicals is a formidable task. While this challenge can be overcome for raw materials or single-ingredient formulations, quantifying botanical ingredients in complex, multiple-ingredient formulations becomes exceedingly difficult.

For more than three decades, we have been at the forefront of setting specifications for identity, strength, and composition, as well as identifying compounds that may adulterate herbal products. We meticulously select testing methods that align with these specifications, ensuring the integrity of the products we analyze.
