How to Store CBD Oil Properly (So It Actually Stays Effective)
- by Keshav Agarwal
When you buy a good bottle of CBD oil, that's only half the job. How you store the bottle matters more. If you don’t store the CBD oil bottle properly, then even a pure hemp extract can lose its potency due to exposure to the wrong conditions. Storing it properly and giving it a little extra care can help your oil stay good and retain its quality for longer.
Keep The CBD Oil Bottle Away From Direct Sunlight
CBD oil is light-sensitive. Long exposure to sunlight can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes in the oil, reducing its potency over time. That is why dark, protective bottles are used to help prevent damaging UV radiation.
So, where should you keep your bottle? A drawer, cabinet, or box is a better choice than a sunny window or an open countertop. Let’s see in detail where we should keep the CBD oil.
Choose a Cool, Consistent Spot
Heat is the one of the major problems for CBD oil. Due to high temperature oxidation process becomes faster, whech leads to shorted shelf life for the oil.
That is why, keeping the CBD oil in a cool, dry place, such as bedromm, drawer, or a kithen cabinet away from the stove, is better to keep the oil safe, andsecure for longer period.
You sjhould also not put your oil in your car, especially in summer, because the temperature inside a parked car can rise quickly.
Keep the Cap Tightly Closed
It may seem like a small thing, but the cap matters. Whenever your bottle is left open, the oil is exposed to air. Oxygen can react with the cannabinoids and gradually reduce their strength.
After each use, screw the cap back on tightly. This simple habit will help maintain the full-spectrum quality of the oil.
Room Temperature Is Usually Fine, Refrigeration Is Optional
Is it okay to store the CBD oil in the fridge? In most cases, no.
Typically, if oil is used regularly and the bottle is emptied within a few months, it will be stored in a cool, dark environment at room temperature. If you have a larger bottle, for example, 1500 mg or 3000 mg and you don't need to use it right away, then refrigeration can help prolong the shelf life.
There is a catch! The oil will thicken slightly when refrigerated and should be allowed to come to room temperature for a few minutes before using.
Avoid Moisture
A bathroom may seem like an easy place to keep your wellness products, but humidity can affect the oil's quality over time.
Instead, choose a dry space where the bottle is protected from moisture.
Keep It Out of Reach of Children and Pets
Your CBD oil should always be out of reach of children and pets.
Ideally, keep it inside a cabinet with a secure latch. A simple step, but one that helps keep the bottle safely stored when not in use.
Trust the Source, Trust the Storage.
Quality storage is based on a quality product. Oil derived from the hemp plants of the Himalayas, which is also AYUSH compliant and batch-tested, requires the right conditions to keep it in good quality.
Storing the bottle properly helps protect the contents. of the bottle. Protect from light, heat, air and moisture and ensure the lid is closed after each use.
