It isn't a surprise that more and more people have come to love essential oils due to their long list of therapeutic benefits.

When you purchase essential oils, you are making an investment in your health and your family’s. If you’re like most people, then you probably keep your favorite essential oils close by throughout your home, your car, in the office, or elsewhere. When traveling with your essential oils, you need to be mindful of protecting them. Fortunately, safely and effectively storing and protecting your oils doesn’t require a lot. Here are a few tips to ensure that your favorite oils maintain their peak potency when stored correctly!

MINIMIZE THEIR EXPOSURE TO HEAT

Store Essential Oils in Cool Places

If your essential oils suffer from prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, it can affect their consistency and chemical composition. It may even alter their evaporation rate. In other words, it will affect the efficacy of your oils – even if they are of the purest blend. You should ensure that your essential oils are kept away from windows or any direct source of heat for extended periods of time. Likewise, it is not a good idea to leave them in your car.

On the other hand, we are personally fans of using essential oils to spice up whatever meal or drink you are preparing. Cooking with essential oils is simple and enjoyable. Just make sure that you blend your oils with the food you are preparing instead of placing them directly on a hot pan or other heat sources.

ARE YOU MAKING YOUR OWN BLEND?

Proper Storage of Essential Oils

If you like to make your own essential oil blends, we highly recommend storing all of your blends in special essential oil bottles such as amber glass. Some blends and oils, like citrus, can dissolve plastic over time, but the glass used in amber glass bottles is strong enough to withstand the acidity. Furthermore, the amber hue of the glass protects the oils from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light.
