All of our Essential Therapeutics vegetable oils have a realistic ‘use by’ date on the label and are bottled in either pharmaceutical amber glass bottles or opaque metal tins. This use by date is based on common usage and storage. You can expect your oils to stay fresh if you store them in a cool, dark place, keeping the containers tightly closed. Oxygen in the air reacts with the oils to create rancidity and this process is sped up by exposure to light and heat. Rancid oils lose their benefits and are not recommended to be used on the skin – or for food purposes. You can extend the shelf life of your oils further by keeping them in the coolest, darkest place – the refrigerator.
