Typically, oils have a shelf life of 18-24 months. Certain oils, like citrus oils, breakdown faster and have a reduced shelf life of about 12-18 months. Our bottles are made with amber glass which protects the oils from UV light. This prevents the oils from being damaged and extends the shelf life.

To extend the shelf life of your oils, store in a cool, dry place with the cap closed tightly. Oils can be frozen without damaging them. Thaw completely before using.
