Keep Them Tightly Sealed: Always screw the cap on firmly after each use. Exposure to oxygen accelerates oxidation, causing the oil to degrade and lose its therapeutic properties.
Store in a Cool, Dark Place: A cupboard or drawer away from direct sunlight and heat sources (like stoves or windows) is ideal. Heat and light are the biggest enemies of essential oil integrity.
Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Essential oils are powerful and can be toxic if ingested or improperly handled.
Avoid Contamination: Never touch the tip of the dropper or the inside of the cap with your fingers. To avoid introducing water, ensure the bottle and your hands are dry before handling.
