- The shelf life of an oil will vary based on heat. If you refrigerate an oil, its shelf life will increase. If you have a large amount, you can freeze the rest of it if you know you will not use it for a while. We highly recommend either refrigerating or freezing what you will not use right away. The important thing is to keep the oil out of light, air and heat.
- All carrier oils can be used up to 100%. The only time you may want to consider using it at a smaller percentage is when it is a very rich oil, or it is an oil that is expensive.
