- 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.Calendula Oil / Infusion

Emu Oil
Shelf Life of 1 year (Refrigeration recommended, as this is a delicate oil)
[from Emu bird, some say this does not smell at all, others that have a more sensitive nose say it smells gamey]
Grade 'A', Australian Emu Oil, produced under the Strict Australian Emu Oil regulations (equivalent to the USDA). The birds are totally free range, feeding on an all natural diet, which includes natural plants with antibiotic properties. No growth hormones or medicines are used, and they are not fed on corn, meat meal or hydrogenated oil feed. This is the real thing, as natural as you can get. All the natural fatty acids are preserved by low temperature refining processes and refrigerated storage.
NOTE: Research has shown that emu oil is almost 100% Triglyceride which means that emu oil is nearly a complete neutral lipid. Since emu oil lacks phospholipids and the human skin is phospholipid deficient, the transdermal properties are phenomenal. Thus, when emu oil is mixed with herbs known for their ability of acting on skin or muscle-joint problems, the results can be extraordinary.
