OUR ORIGINS
Nicotine River is one of the world's largest cGMP compliant suppliers of USP Grade Nicotine and FEMA/GRAS Flavors. Since 2014 we have served businesses large and small, from a single gallon to a 55 gallon drum, with products that break the boundaries of quality, safety and innovation in this industry. Every batch we make is tested before it ships.

MADE IN USA
Our USP Grade Nicotine is made at our FDA registered facility in Thousand Oaks, California, where we employ hard-working Americans. Blending, filling and batch testing all happen in one 45,000 square foot building, covered by our FDA establishment registration and California's tobacco manufacturing and distribution licenses.

PRODUCT SAFETY
Every batch is assayed in our own laboratory before release, by HPLC and GCMS, for purity, identity, residual solvents, pH and specific gravity. That laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, and our quality system is built to 21 CFR Part 211, the FDA's rules for finished pharmaceuticals. Nothing ships on a supplier certificate alone.

SUSTAINABILITY
Nicotine River is proving that nicotine production can be clean and sustainable. Manufacturing releases no toxic or hazardous emissions and discharges nothing onto land or into water. Waste oils, solvents and chemicals are recycled or disposed of through a contracted service, and we keep hazardous stock to a minimum.
