Preserving the Potency of Your Plant Oils
To ensure you enjoy the full benefits of your Oleo Botanicals plant oil-based products, proper storage is essential. Exposure to light, heat, air, and moisture can prematurely degrade these beneficial ingredients. Follow these simple guidelines to maintain their effectiveness.
Key Factors Affecting Oil Stability:
| Factor | Risk | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Exposure to sunlight and UV rays can degrade the oil and accelerate oxidation. | Store oils in a dark place, such as a cabinet or drawer, away from windows. Our amber glass bottles provide excellent protection. |
| Temperature | High temperatures can speed up oxidation and shorten shelf life. | Store oils in a cool environment below 75°F (24°C). Avoid heat sources like stoves and radiators. Refrigeration isn’t usually necessary, but it can extend shelf life for delicate oils. |
| Air | Exposure to oxygen can degrade oil quality over time. | Always keep bottles tightly closed when not in use. Use the dropper or pump to minimize air exposure. |
| Moisture | Moisture can contaminate oils and promote microbial growth. | Store oils in a dry place and avoid getting water inside the bottle. |
By following these storage tips, you can help maintain the quality, freshness, and effectiveness of your Oleo Botanicals oils. Still have questions? Contact Us
