The rosehip seed oil refrigerate the others you don't have to but it wouldn't hurt.

HA does have a shelf life yet that life seems to be at present neither quantified nor common knowledge. I find that my bottle seems as potent and clear as when I first opened it months ago. I usually store all serums in the crisper drawer in my fridge, though instructions most often merely specify to store them away from direct heat or sunlight. I can say that this product is absolutely amazing -- and is perfect for under makeup (which I have rarely tested as makeup is something I dabble in perhaps 2-3 times a year) as it fully hydrates and then dries quickly and completely. I use this, DIY vitamin C serum (so easy, and with a very short shelf life in contrast to its unmatched efficacy), and a copper peptide to rather surprising results! My skin looks better at 51 than it did at 31. I hope this helps.

I've been using this product for years and have never refrigerated it. There's enough mild preservative in it to hold it perfectly well. It's a wonderful product!

I don't. These supplements are warehoused after production and as a physician I see no need to refrigerate them. I don't purchase more than a 3 month supply at a time and most of these supplements have a couple year shelf life.

If it is fulfilled by Amazon (Prime or free shipping), it is shipped refrigerated directly from Metagenics to Amazon at the beginning of the week so it will reach them quickly and not sit in a hot UPS truck over the weekend. This product sells out very fast, so it doesn't stay in the warehouse very long. I have been using Metagenics products for over 15 years, always with great results. After seeing all the comments about refrigeration, I checked directly with the manufacturer. They do not have to be stored in refrigeration once they arrive unless the room is very hot. They are stable up to 90 degrees F; I can't imagine a working warehouse would be that hot. I don't know if Amazon ships them in a refrigerated carton; I hope this info helps!

I just keep in in my medicine cabinet, but use it often. It has a shelf life of 12 to 24 months. Everything I've read says to store it in a cool dry place. Some sources say not to put it in the refrigerator and others say you should. If you google "storing unrefined shea butter", you will find more information and then decide for yourself. I've never had a problem.

Keep it refrigerated; it will last for months. I only use a small amount on specific "spots".

Yes, there are parts of it that will need to be refrigerated to extend the life of the product (enzymes and such). It is a small amount, but it is recommended in the package instructions and we didn't put ours in until after my husband opened this as his Christmas gift last year. Hope this helps!

It needs to be refrigerated. It is amazing. As for the strains you can find that on their website.

I refrigerate it after opening but when I travel it's obviously not staying cold and it's still as good & effective. So does it "need" to be refrigerated, preferably YES, but a few day's w/o refridgeration wont hurt it based on my many years of using this wonderful supplement. Hope this helps.

It comes in liquid form, which is easily applied to skin.You'd want to refrigerate it for hair, so it's in more of a solidified form. :)Hope that helped!

Thanks to everyone that has helped answer this question,You do not have to put it in the fridge, you can if you want for a cooling feel but just keeping it out of direct sunlight is all you need.Have a wonderful week and enjoy the results!

Don't make the product revealed in the sunbaked environments.IF it was opened, be keeping in cold storage.So I suggest you store in.

The answer by Corgi below gives the contents in the Aloe "so that refrigeration is not required". In hot weather it may feel good to apply cold, so I think it can be refrigerated. But not required. Helpful to me because left out I tend to use it more often.

I keep mine at room temp, we are currently having a "heat wave", it remains solid. To store it for longer periods of time or if it gets too soft, I would refrigerate it. When used to make body butter or lip conditioners, it needs to be gently melted, so it can be used directly from the frig. Hope this helps! KK

There is both a technical answer and a personal comfort answer. The technical answer is the product should be kept in a cooler area away from direct heat or sunlight to allow it to maintain its efficacy. The personal comfort answer is if you keep it in the refrigerator - it will give you a wonderful, cooling sensation when you use it! It works great either way - just keep it away from the heat or sunlight!
