By signing the Botani+ quality charter, brands undertake to carry out these checks in accordance with current regulations.

Independent laboratories capable of checking the following points:

• presence of the right species and the right plant part
• that there is no (involuntary) confusion or (voluntary) falsification with another plant other than that claimed by the marketer
• that there is no contamination by another plant
• that there is no enhancement by an exogenous substance (which is not supposed to be present in the plant)
• that there is no enhancement by an endogenous substance (of which a certain amount is already present in the plant initially)
• that there is no dilution of the plant-based ingredient (excessive dilution leading to a lack of efficacy)
• that the claims made by the marketer concerning the concentration of active ingredients match the actual concentration of the sample.
