After opening the bottle does it require refrigeration? How long is a bottle good for (year, two, etc.) What is the best way to store this item?

Hi, I would refrigerate this oil if you intend to keep it for over a year, I keep my oils in an extra frig in the garage. If you have a cool basement area to store your oils, that works longer term as well. All oils are subject to become rancid if not used soon enough. The cooler, the better. Its not hard to warm it up, same as honey, just put the bottle into a pan of very warm water. I would also advise that it be put into a glass container, I use mason jars and just mark the lid with a sharpie marker and date it. That way you can just spoon out the quantity of cold oil that you need to use. Neem is a favorite for blending different oils together for healthy skin. I use lilac or lavender oils to dim the neem smell a bit. Hope this helps.

No refrigeration needed. The oil will solidify if cooled. I have mine in my kitchen cabinet. If kept tightly closed it should be good for a year or so. I use it in the lawn and vegetable garden to keep pests and slugs away from my fruit. So my bottle lasts me a growing season with a little left over. The left over works fine the following season. After a year it might loose some of its pesticide potency. This is so much better than those chemical pesticides.

These questions will probably be best answered by the manufacturer. I keep the bottle cool & dry in a drawer that's away from heat . I am not sure how long it can last as I used mine up in a couple of months during the summer for flea control but I assume it would last a bit longer during the winter season.Here is addt'l information which might prove helpful - here is a website I used quite a bit to learn the many uses of Neem - http://www.discoverneem.com/neem-information.html.

Like the other poster said, my bottle was in the fridge for at least a year before I started using it, and I had already opened it. It was fine. So long as you keep it refrigerated it will last a very long time. I am guessing the acidity level and the fact that it is concentrated, is what helps keep this fresh.

There is no expiration date on the bottle and no instruction to refrigerate after opening. I have kept it around for an awfully long time with no problem even without the fridge. In the fridge, it should keep even longer but would have to be warmed to room temp in order to pour.

It does not need to be refrigerated but I just started using it so I am not positive about the shelf life once it is open. We used the first bottle when we all were at different stages of the respiratory bug going around and it stopped or reduced it for all of us (me, my son, my mom and my husband) My husband started taking it as soon as he felt the cold coming on and never progressed into the full cold instead he was better before the rest of us who had the cold first which is what prompted me to buy it.

after opening it, yes it should be refrigerated. But it should not be kept many days after opening the can.

Refrigeration is only needed after opening this product to maintain its high potency. However, this product is not shipped refrigerated. Thank You,Customer Service I saw this answer to a customer's question. Where does it say that on the bottle that refrigeration is only needed after opening product?

yes, the bottle says you need to refrigerate it after you open it and it has a shelf life of 6 months after that I do believe.

The bottle itself does not say that it needs refrigeration, although the smaller bottle says refrigerate. So I think it best to refrigerate.

I would recommend refrigeration. The instructions on the bottle say to store it between 59-86F,tightly closed and away from sunlight,but I find that refrigeration improves the taste and keeps the product fresh,just don't put it in the freezer.

I've had my one liter bottle for at least one year it works just fine. Just store in a cool dark place ans shake well before use. I wouldn't worry about the shelflife too much if you use it all in a year or two. Maybe three... If anything I just think it wont work anymore as opposed to causing damage...

Yes. It expires usually a year from the manufacturer date. It also has an expiration date on it. As far as storing it I would keep it at room temperature. I three 8oz bottles that I keep in the cabinet under my tank for emergencies. Like when I once did to thorough of a cleaning and caused a mini cycle. I poured half the bottle in and tank cycled in few hours so I know room temp is sufficient for storage.

The bottle says "store in a cool, dry place, best if refrigerated after opening." I'm on my fourth bottle of PB8 and I've never refrigerated it. It seems to be fine.

I don't think that means it has to be refrigerated. I just think it means that it is safe to consume. I don't remember seeing a refrigerate after opening label on the bottle when i got it. Hope that helps.

I've never refrigerated it. I always keep it at room temperature. There is nothing on the bottle regarding refrigeration....

No, it does not need to be refrigerated after opening. Unless you prefer to take it cold. It's up to you!
