Vegetable oils and essential oils fear three things: light, heat and air. A few simple habits are enough to keep them well.
Why our bottles are blue or amber
Most of our liquids come in cobalt blue glass, and our small 3 and 5 ml essential oils in amber glass. This coloured glass filters part of the light, which alters oils over time. So keep your products in their original bottle.
Good habits
- Away from light: in a cupboard or a drawer, rather than on a windowsill.
- Somewhere cool: away from heat, direct sun or a car's rear shelf in summer.
- Tightly closed: close the bottle after each use, to limit contact with air.
- No contact: do not touch the dropper with your fingers.
Product by product
| Product | Advice |
|---|---|
| Immortelle oil, dry oil | Away from light and heat, bottle tightly closed. |
| Essential oils | Upright, cap tightly screwed on, out of reach of children. |
| Floral waters | Somewhere cool, spray closed. |
| Soaps | Between uses, on a well-drained soap dish so it can dry. |
| Serums | The airless bottle limits contact with air: close the cap well. |
Where to find the date?
The batch number and date are on each bottle, on the label or underneath. If the smell, appearance or colour changes, stop using the product.
Frequently asked questions
Should oils be kept in the fridge?
