What vitamin C content can I expect from your rosehip powder batches?

Our standard rosehip powder maintains minimum 0.5% ascorbic acid content with typical ranges of 0.6-0.8%. Each batch COA provides exact vitamin C analysis using HPLC methodology. We can source higher-potency materials (up to 1.2% ascorbic acid) with advance notice and adjusted pricing.

How do you ensure batch-to-batch consistency for private label manufacturing?

We implement strict supplier qualification with standardized processing protocols across all origins. Pre-shipment sampling, analytical verification, and retained sample programs maintain consistency. Multi-origin blending capabilities allow us to adjust batches to meet your exact specifications when natural variation occurs.

What EU-Organic documentation comes with each rosehip shipment?

Every organic rosehip lot includes EU Transaction Certificate per Regulation 2018/848, detailed Certificate of Analysis, origin certification from certified operators, and processing facility organic certifications. Full chain of custody documentation enables your EU-Organic labeling compliance.

Can you provide rosehip materials for specific health claim substantiation?

Yes, we source rosehip materials with analytical profiles supporting various EU health claims. We provide detailed documentation on vitamin C content, antioxidant activity, and other compounds. However, health claim approval and substantiation remains your responsibility as the final product manufacturer.
