Essential oils and storage Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Hair Talk Forum Name: Hair & Alternative Therapies Forum Description: Share your experiences with Alternatives Therapies URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17903 Printed Date: July 13 2025 at 11:00am Topic: Essential oils and storage Posted By: suenote Subject: Essential oils and storage Date Posted: April 22 2003 at 11:17am I also have a question as to how to store essential oils...should they be refrigerated; can they be heated before application? how long is the shelf life of an herbal oil? ------------- Do not try to do something great; but rather try to do something small with great care.(I read this somewhere). Replies: Posted By: uzma Date Posted: April 22 2003 at 12:23pm Refrigeration and heat are both not good as the molecular structure of the oils is altered/distorted/dissipated - and the therapeutic value is compromised. Store your oils in a dark, cool, dry place. Shelf life is indefinite. ------------- Uzi
