  “natural” product stability?

  Posted by Chemist5000 on March 16, 2018 at 9:49 pm

  I am being asked to formulate natural products with expiration of 2-3 years?  How is that possible to predict this before stability is done?

  Is there a way to help stability of natural formulations.  What is the normal expectation for a natural product expiry?

  No problem, just agree. By the time they realise that 6 months is the limit, you will be on another contract…

  We produce “natural” products under fairly strict and frequently audited GMP compliance conditions. Most of our products have an expiry date of two years. We run the standard Rapid Stability Testing methods, plus I like to ro Real Time as well. 90% of our production business is OEM/Private Label.

  To your question, “I am being asked to formulate natural products with expiration of 2-3 years?  How is that possible to predict this before stability is done?”  Unless you are doing something really left-field,  I would be guided by what is already in the marketplace.
