The Metal Tin Keeps Essential Balm Fresh During Storage

For more than a century, Shanghai Zhonghua Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has always been committed to keeping our products pristine, from the point of manufacture to that received by our valued customers. As the first modern national pharmaceutical enterprise in China and as a celebrated 'Chinese time-honored brand', we have long recognized that careful packaging is what upholds product quality. The classic metal tin that holds our signature Essential Balm is therefore much more than simply a casing, it is an engineered receptacle, designed to retain its contents in their perfect state until the time it is needed.

Solid form remains stable at room temperature

The Essential Balm takes the form of a solid and therefore, retains its inherent stability under conditions of ambient storage. Unlike many other liquids that might separate or require particular attention to their state of being, this product’s solid form can be reliably kept at room temperature while still retaining its desired form and consistency over its period in storage or with the consumer.

This is a trait of impeccable craftsmanship and precision that has been passed down through generations. The nature of the form that it takes means that the compound will not melt nor harden beyond a manageable and workable state as ambient temperatures change within a typical household. Whether it is kept within a desk drawer at the office or at the bedside in the bedroom, or within the cabinet at the kitchen, it is ready when needed. In this respect, it has become an indispensable part of households throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, which always know what to expect upon retrieving the trusty tin and when doing so they will not be disappointed with the state of the product within.

Tin container prevents drying out or contamination

The metal tin used for containing the Essential Balm serves an important role in maintaining the product's freshness. Not only do the tin's opaque walls shield the product from harmful sunlight—which can degrade many products over time—but the tin also creates an impenetrable barrier that prevents contaminants from entering and the contents from drying out.

As long as the lid of the tin is closed, it becomes a hermetically sealed container in which the balm will maintain its intended qualities. When the lid is used and then replaced on the tin, the latter forms an immediate seal and no moisture, dust or any other foreign particles can affect the balm within. This is also beneficial with products that are used frequently within the household since the design of the metal tin can readily withstand constant opening and closing. It has a good and tight fitting lid which is itself very telling to the quality of the metal container.

Long shelf life when kept in a cool, dry place

Under proper storage conditions, the Essential Balm is designed to retain its efficacy and form for an extended shelf life that translates to excellent value for the consumer. The simple storage instruction that it be kept in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight or heat indicates that one may keep this balm for a long period of time without concern.

This benefit is also treasured by users who may not use the product daily but want it readily on hand whenever necessary. A single tin of the balm may last a whole household many months making it an economical and effective remedy for a myriad of health issues. Travelers also greatly value the extended shelf-life as they can carry their Essential Balm through all manner of climates and locations knowing that it will still be in perfect working order upon their arrival at their destination.

The company's pursuit of the highest quality standards can also be noted in the facilities where these products are made. GMP guidelines are strictly enforced and rigorous quality controls are enacted at every step of production and packaging. Only once a finished product has passed tests done on it in its completed form will it be sent out to the customers.

Nowadays, as part of Shanghai Pharma Group's overall strategy of growth, the company owns a large-scale distribution network across the nation that is powered by an integrated online and offline shopping experience. The Essential Balm is currently sold to 80+ countries and regions throughout the world. This includes, but is not limited to, the Nordic countries and Japan, Eastern Europe and North America. In fact, a particular export-exclusive version of Temple of Heaven Essential Balm won Gold Medal at the Leipzig International Trade Fair in 1987, making it the most influential traditional Chinese medicine on the market globally.
