Once you’ve procured your CBD products, it’s very important that you store them properly to ensure that the integrity of the product is maintained. There are key tips that must be followed to keep your CBD products fresh and long lasting. If stored properly, CBD oil should last up to one year.
Direct Heat
One of the major contributors to CBD products not having a long shelf life is direct heat. It is imperative that CBD oil is stored away from heat as it can cause the minerals that are in the CBD to have a bad reaction with the heat and change the chemical composition of the oil.
Tips:
- DON’T store your CBD anywhere near a windowsill where it is exposed to direct sunlight and heat from the sun
- DON’T store your CBD near the oven or the stove
- DON’T store your CBD in a cabinet that’s near applicances giving off heat
- DON’T leave your CBD in the car; the car will allow the sun through the windows which will heat the CBD and change the content of the oil
Light Exposure
Another element to keep your CBD oil away from is light. CBD products are typically stored in dark bottles that naturally keep light out. This is because too much light can degrade the contents of the CBD oil which will make it ineffective. CBD oil should be stored in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. A refrigerator is both cool and dark and therefore it addresses two of the three requirements for optimal CBD Oil storage. You may notice that your CBD oil thickens a bit by being kept in the refrigerator, which may make it difficult to dispense. How do you combat this? Run hot water over the bottle for a few seconds; this should loosen it up for you.
Air tight Storage
Last on the checklist for how to store CBD oil is to keep it away from too much air exposure. Having similar effects as too much light and too much, heat, air exposure alters the chemical composition of the CBD oil as well. I’m particular, oxygen has the capacity to change the balance of chemicals in your CBD oil, which is known as oxidative stress.
For maximum efficacy and potency, keep your CBD oil in its original container.
It’s very easy to store your CBD oil for long or short periods of time. By doing your research and understanding how different factors affect its shelf life, you can ensure that you are properly storing your product so that it is both potent and effective for meeting your desired needs.
