Shelf Life Of Carrier Oils-2

Written by Super User | Print | Email | Hits: 1948

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.
