Yes, providing your essential oils with an ideal storage environment will help you get the most out of your oils, and this article is to help you understand what factors play a role in essential oils storage.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I\u2019ll show you a few essential oils storage box and cases options that you might like to consider adding to your oils organizing\u00a0system! But first off, why would you bother with a special storage system for your oils?<\/p>\n<h2>WHAT FACTORS AFFECT MY\u00a0ESSENTIAL OILS?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heat and Light \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Essential oils are flammable. The sun\u2019s rays can easily\u00a0make\u00a0the temperature of your essential oil\u00a0increase, which may destroy the oil\u2019s properties. Avoid storing your essential oils on top of a hot surface such as a wood stove or a gas range.\u00a0Make sure to also avoid leaving your essential oil near the window or any place where sunlight can make contact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature Changes \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Essential oils (and vegetable oils, too,\u00a0actually) don\u2019t react too well to sudden temperature changes. Extreme changes in temperature can\u00a0cause the therapeutic properties of your oils to be diminished, which is not something you want, considering that some of these oils aren\u2019t exactly cheap. Keeping your oils safely tucked away in a proper storage unit will ensure more consistent temperatures in the bottles and their contents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Moisture and Oxygen \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Oxidation can occur if the essential oil is\u00a0exposed to oxygen (fresh air). A consistent contact with the air will deteriorate the oil\u2019s properties and increase the evaporation. When opening the oil\u2019s container, make sure not to let it stay that way especially for a very long time. Also make sure to avoid letting water make contact with the oil because it could let it become cloudy or worse, the water will leak to the bottom of the oil and dilute its properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>STORAGE TIPS FOR YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Avoiding heat and light<\/strong>\u00a0is the primary reason why a good storage unit for your essential oils is needed. You need to find a cool and dry place. The cupboards in your kitchen and bathrooms are some of the best places that you can store your essential oils in as they are mostly dark and somewhat consistent in temperature.<\/p>\n<h2>WHERE SHOULD ESSENTIAL OILS BE STORED?<\/h2>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t really matter what room of the house you keep your essential oils in. Personally, I like the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. However, some people also like a kitchen cupboard, pantry, or drawer in your bedside table for quick and easy access whenever you\u2019re in need of an oil.<\/p>\n<p>The important thing is that you\u00a0<strong>store your oils in a dry, dark and cool place<\/strong>. DO NOT keep them on a sunny window sill, for example.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you own essential oils, perhaps you\u2019ve wondered about how and where you should best store your essential oils.
