STORING ESSENTIAL OILS
Because essential oils are affected by sunlight they should be sold and stored in dark glass bottles, with
stoppered caps. Make sure that the cap is on securely and the bottle stored up-right in a cool dark place.
The oils should be stored out of sight and the touch of children. Remember that children, especially small
ones, are very inquisitive. Never store essential oils in plastic bottles. Good essential oils should keep for
several years if properly stored, though the oils of orange, lemon and lime will not keep as long. Patchouli
is at the other extreme and actually gets better as it ages.
