Our Hydrosols are tested every 90 days for fungal and microbial contamination at:-

Superior Laboratories, Inc., is an authorized testing agency:

1. Ohio EPA Water Approval No. 890
2. USDA Accreditation Number 3983

The last test was conducted on 14 October 2009. The results were that they are MORE PURE than the acceptable standard for drinking water. The standard for drinking water is a Plate Count of bacteria as high as 500 per 100 ml of pure water...the highest plate count we have on any of our Hydrosols is 8... this is FAR MORE PURE than even bottled drinking water.

Specifically, our test results were as follows .. keep in mind the following three points:

1. When a Hydrosol leaves the still it will be sterile. Only improper handling or storage ..or adulteration with water that was not distilled can contaminate a Hydrosol.

2. The Ohio State standard for bottled drinking water is Plate Count of bacteria no higher than 500 parts per million in 100 ml of pure water.

3. All of the Hydrosols below .. except the Sandalwood .. tested as being More Pure than bottled drinking water.

Sample total plate count total coliform yeast count mold count
Clary Sage 8 <1 1 3
Peppermint 4 <1 <1 <1
Rosemary 1 <1 <1 <1
Lavender 7 <1 <1 <1
Melissa <1 <1 <1 <1
Rose 4 <1 <1 <1
Witch Hazel 5 <1 <1 <1

< means Less than 1

We also tested a Sandalwood Hydrosol .. the results were:
Sandalwood 22,000,000 <1 <1 1
Obviously, the Sandalwood Hydrosol was BADLY Contaminated. If I had NOT sent these Hydrosols for testing prior to purchasing them I could have been selling Sandalwood Hydrosol that is contaminated with who knows what type(s) of bacteria. I say who knows what type(s) because it would cost a lot more money to find out what type(s) and since I would not offer that Hydrosol in any case I don't care what the type(s) of bacterial contamination are. ;-)

We do not have Neroli Hydrosol now because the last three samples we tested were not acceptable. If you wish to be on our Back Order list for Neroli Hydrosol .. please advise .. then if/when I find one that is acceptable, I will notify you.

Hydrosols are shipped in Food Industry Approved plastic jugs.....unless a buyer wants glass. We do this for safety as well as to reduce shipping costs to buyers.

For long term storage, Hydrosols should be transferred to sterile glass containers with sterile caps. To avoid contamination we should NOT touch bottle rims, or inside bottle caps with fingers, or pour unused hydrosols back into container. We should avoid direct sunlight and avoid extreme heat for long periods of
time.

Refrigeration can assist in extending shelf life of hydrosols.
