How do you store essential oils at home?
To avoid heat and light, we recommended that you keep essential oils in a cool, dry place. Kitchen and bathroom cupboards can work well. I store mine on a bookshelf that does not get direct sunlight. Amber or cobalt glass bottles are preferred over clear glass.
Should I refrigerate my essential oils?
A refrigerator designated to store only your essential oils is ideal. Heat is a huge culprit in the oxidation process of essential oils. Citrus essential oils are the most prone to oxidation, so to avoid the damage caused by temperature variations, you should store them in the refrigerator.
How long do essential oils last once opened?
Most will last at least two years before starting to degrade, unless they contain one of the unstable carrier oils mentioned earlier. And some can last for as long as 15 years without losing their effectiveness. Many experts advise replacing essential oils every three years to be safe.
What is the best way to organize essential oils?
Use Shelves to Organize and Store Oils
Shelves are a great way to keep all of your essential oils in one place. Some people want one location in their home where they can place them all. If you want to use small shelves to organize them in the room that they are most likely to be used in, that is another option.
