🗝️ How Do I Keep My Oils Fresh


How Do I Keep My Oils Fresh?

Fragrance oils are concentrated and long-lasting, but like anything natural, they need a little care to stay at their best. With the right storage, your oils will keep their strength and scent for years.

Best Practices for Freshness:

  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place → Heat breaks down fragrance molecules. Keep bottles away from heaters, bathrooms, and hot cars.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight → Sunlight can cause oils to discolor or shift in scent over time.

  • Keep Bottles Tightly Sealed → Oxygen exposure weakens fragrance. Always close caps snugly after each use.

  • Use Dark Glass Bottles When Possible → They help block light and preserve scent quality.

  • Handle with Clean Hands → Prevents contamination or unwanted residue mixing with the oils.

Shelf Life Expectation
With proper care, most oils easily last 2–5 years — and often much longer. We’ve kept some oils in our archive for 10 years and they still smell incredible. The key is proper storage.

Extra Tip: If your oil thickens slightly over time, that’s normal.
