All that stuff about essential oil preservation!
Essential oils are often used in daily life so how do you preserve them？Let me share with you。
1. Keep essential oils in the dark
Essential oils must be kept away from sunlight and strong light。Sunlight is the most likely to make essential oils deteriorate, it is necessary to absolutely avoid sunlight, do not put essential oils in direct sunlight or sunny places;The essential oil can not be exposed under the light, and the temperature and intensity of the light may also make the essential oil deteriorate。Of course, if conditions exist, you can also store dark glass essential oils in wooden boxes, such as sandalwood or pine boxes。
2, the essential oil bottle cap should be tightened
Essential oils are volatile, so in order to avoid oxidation and rapid volatilization of essential oils, the essential oil bottle cap must be tightened after use。And minimize the number of openings to avoid pollution and oxidation, resulting in a decline in quality。
3. The essential oil should be placed in a dark glass bottle
Essential oils are volatile, afraid of light, and corrosive to a certain extent, so they must be stored in dark glass bottles with shading effects, which can reduce UV exposure by 90%。Do not use plastic bottles to store essential oils, because the chemical composition of plastics will destroy the quality of essential oils after being corroded by essential oils。The color of dark glass bottles is dark blue, brown and green。
4, essential oils to avoid high temperature
In addition to volatility and oxidation, high temperature is also the taboo of essential oils, usually must not put essential oils in high temperature places, away from hot air and high temperature。It is best to place it in a dry, cool place, and should not be too close to appliances, let alone in the kitchen or bathroom, which will only make your essential oil no longer effective。
5. Essential oils do not need to be refrigerated
Essential oils should be avoided at high temperatures, but that doesn't mean they should be refrigerated。Many people will think of putting in the refrigerator, in fact, this is also very wrong。The storage temperature of essential oil is room temperature 18-27 degrees, and the best temperature is about 25 degrees。Therefore, the low temperature and humid environment of the refrigerator is not suitable for the preservation of essential oils。And the temperature difference will also accelerate the decline of essential oil quality。In contrast, wood essential oil boxes are an excellent choice。
6. The shelf life of the blended compound essential oil is three months
The best use period of unilateral essential oil (that is, a single variety of pure essential oil) after opening is generally half a year, but after diluting and blending the compound essential oil with the base oil (vegetable oil), the unopened shelf life is 6-9 months, and it is recommended to use up within three months after opening。This requires us to adjust the amount of each time not too large, to ensure that they can use up within three months, even if not, can not use it as skin care use。
7, avoid touching the mouth of the essential oil bottle and wearing the crown
The nature of essential oil is easy to oxidize, which determines that it cannot be subjected to too much external interference。If you want to preserve your essential oils and want to use them for six months, you must not touch the essential oils directly with your hands when mixing essential oils, and do not change the caps of different essential oils, or mix the same straw。Plastic dropper oil bottle, not suitable for long-term storage, because the essential oil will corrode the dropper and cause the essential oil to be polluted and deteriorated。
