Storage Purpose of Essential Oils
Essential oils are stored in dark glass bottles to protect them from the heat and light. It helps to keep the light and water out. Over time, they lose their value and quality. It can change the chemical composition of the oil. It can potentially vary tremendously from one botanical to the next. Embrace Wellness: 1.) No plastic bottles. 2.) Fridge is okay but not too long. 3.) Use dark amber bottles or cobalt blue bottles. 4.) The freezer is safe as it keeps the light out and help to preserve your oils. 5.) Use with an ‘orifice reducer’ attached to the top. This inserts on the top of the bottle, does not harm the oils and it is easy to pour out the oil drop by drop.
