Tips For Storing Essential Oils


1. You Should Keep the Oils in Their Original Bottles


You must not have realized that the bottles in which your essential oils come are not just there for decoration or convenience. In fact, these bottles are made specifically for holding essential oils. So, these oils need to be placed in glass, since it helps reduce UV light that can cause damage to them. 



It's better to get your oils in these dark bottles, so try to keep them in there. If you are making blends, pour the finished blend into another dark-colored glass bottle. You can usually get them at just about any store that sells essential oils or DIY products, from crafts stores to big box stores. Also try health food stores or look online.

2. You Should Place the Bottles in a Cool and Dry Place


When you have put them in the right bottle, make sure that they are never left out in the sun. If your kitchen or bathroom has a window and the sun can get in, you need to put the bottles inside a cupboard where it is dark, cool, and dry. The best way to store them is in this Essential Oils Storage Box you are seeing below.




You must never put them near the edge of the shelves in whatever cupboard you store them so that you don’t accidentally knock them down when opening up the cupboard or medicine cabinet door. They can be a danger for children to ingest, so try to choose a cabinet up high or one that is locked where nobody can get to them.


3. You Should Store Your Carrier Oils in the Fridge


For your carrier oils, they are similar to other oil that you have for cooking. They need to be kept in room temperature, preferably in a cabinet and not left out on the counter. This is going to help prevent them from spoiling. 

However, if it gets hot inside your home, the pantry or cupboard is not enough to protect them. In this case, it is better to store them in the refrigerator. If you open a carrier oil bottle and it smells sour, then it has gone bad and needs to be replaced.
