The fact is essential oils are delicate so care needs to be taken from production, storing to use.

Essential oils can be damaged by ultraviolet light and deteriorate more rapidly at the blue end of the spectrum than the red. Therefore, using amber-colored bottles are the best when shoring your oils. However most of the good essential oil companies such doTERRA essential oils understand the importance of shoring their oils currently and supply the products in the appropriate bottles.

How to store essential oils for the home?

Another concern regarding the storage of essential oils is extreme temperatures. Essential oils are highly volatile which means that they evaporate rapidly. Always replace the caps immediately and ensure that the tops are tightly closed when the oils are not in use.

I have to say that this has not been a problem for my wife or I, but essential oils last for approximately three years from the bottling date. In excellent storage conditions (i.e. amber bottles in a cool place with no air space) they will keep for about five years. Citrus oils tend to have a shorter shelf-life due to their high proportion of terpenes in those oils. Also, absolutes and resins which thicken even more with age and the smell of the solvent becomes more noticeable.

Essential oils guide to blends

Once essential oils have been diluted in a carrier oil and made into a blend, the shelf-life is reduced dramatically. For maximum benefit use freshly made-up blends. A blend will keep for about three to six months if it is stored in an amber-colored bottle in a cool place away from sunlight. If wheatgerm oil is added then the shelf-life is approximately six to nine months. If the smell alters and the vegetable oil becomes rancid then you should definitely discard it.

Essential oils uses guide to the dos and don’ts of how to buy and store essential oils

    3. Do not leave your oils in direct sunlight.

    13. Always store essential oils away from the naked flame.
