Shelf Life of Essential Oils under unopened conditions from Date of Purchase is 1 year. Once opened, shelf life can be greatly reduced and is dependent upon the conditions of storage. Whenever possible, keep tightly sealed and protect from exposure to moisture, light, pests and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, especially heat. Reducing the available air space by decanting opened products into suitably sized containers should increase the shelf life of opened products.

Many factors affect the constituents of essential oils. Intra-specific variation can occur within plants and trees as a result of differing soil conditions, altitude, climatic conditions and other environmental factors. In some cases, different chemotypes may occur as a result of the above factors. Distillation parameters such as the time of day and stage of growth when the plant is picked, what part(s) of the plant are distilled, the length of distillation, method of distillation, whether the plant is distilled immediately or whether it is dried first, and storage conditions if dried plant parts are used, will all affect the constituents of essential oils and hence their quality and medicinal effects. This is why it is impossible to give an exact specification for the components of an essential oil. Please follow the link below for more information:
