The main reason for keeping them in the dark is because they can be damaged by ultraviolet light and deteriorate more rapidly at the blue end of the spectrum than the red. Therefore, the essential oils reference guide tells us we should store our oils in amber-colored bottles (if you do keep your essential oils in blue bottles then they should be kept in the dark – this is less important if your bottles are brown).

The simple aromatherapy oils guide

  • Never put your oils into clear glass or plastic bottles
  • Never be placed in direct sunlight
  • Avoid placing your oils on sunny windowsills or shelves on radiators – no matter how attractive the bottles look!
  • Do not leave your essential oils in extreme temperatures, because they are highly volatile which means that they evaporate rapidly.
  • Always replace the caps immediately and ensure that the tops are tightly closed when the oils are not in use.

Essential oils reference guide to length of storage

If stored in recommended conditions essential oils will last for approximately three years from the bottling date. In excellent storage conditions such as being stored in amber bottles in a cool place with no air space they will keep for about five years. However, citrus oils tend to have a shorter shelf-life due to their high proportion of terpenes, as do absolutes and resins which thicken even more with age and the smell of the solvent becomes more noticeable.

Essential oils reference guide to blended oils

Once essential oils have been diluted in a carrier oil such as a blended oil, the shelf-life reduces dramatically. For maximum benefit use freshly made-up blends. A blend will keep for about three to six months if it is stored in an amber-colored bottle in a cool place away from sunlight. If wheatgerm oil is added then the shelf-life is approximately six to nine months. If the smell alters and the vegetable oil becomes rancid then you should definitely discard it.
