I have recently purchased this oil. How is it best stored? Do I need to refrigerate it? Or can I just keep it in my washroom closet? Please advice.

The manufacturer may best be able to answer this question. I'm just a consumer but I store my oil in a cabinet - a dry, cool place because I use my oil relatively quickly (about a couple months for 4 ounces.) I use it on my face, neck, chest, a bit for my hair and my hands. If you think it may be many months before you use up the bottle, then maybe the refrigerator would extend the life of the product. Assuming oils that are natural do have a life span that may be a good idea. Again, a quick email to the manufacturer might be of more help. Cheers!

No I do not refrigerate the bottle of oil. Just leave it on bathroom sink top or bedroom dresser. If it leaks after you put the top back on (sometimes oil goes on side from dropper) clean it off with a tissue.

No you don't need to refrigerate - I keep in my bathroom linen closet because when I close the door it is dark in there. The bottle is designed to keep the light down, and keeping it in the closet is just fine. This is an amazing oil and I am so happy to have found it.

It can start to spoil. I bought several and the later ones smelled a tad. A friend suggested refrigerating all but the one in use to extend shelf life, just like any oil.

Argan oil does not need to be kept in the refrigerator. I keep mine in the bathroom, on the counter near the sink, so that it is convenient when I use it every day. I don't know the shelf life, but I use mine every day, and the bottle lasts about two months, possibly more. I usually put it on my face in the morning and again at night.

I have found when you put it in the trap it is still there like it never got used? Some heavy oils get hard and globby then I have had to clean it with a tips and alcohol to get it out- maybe it's just me?

Hi Jane and thank you for your questions. All of our oils will last indefinitely if stored properly ie. cap on tight and kept in cool dry cabinet. They also will retain 90% of their therapeutic value for up to five years when properly stored.

We used the same oil a second time, because it was done on the same week. I put it through a small colander to take the solid particles out. We have not used our fryer since, so I will probably not use the same oil again, although we did store it in its original bottle. My husband will use it in his diesel truck as fuel.

I personally love the smell of PastTense. Have had mine for a long time and never noticed it getting an "off" smell. Not sure if oils can go bad either. I'd suggest emailing or calling DoTERRA directly and asking them to be sure. I've always gotten quality products from them.

I'm a 61 year old female with NO oil left in my skin, so I can't really address your concern. My skin drinks up everything without any problem, but it's a great oil and very beneficial. My suggestion if you purchase it is to put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Mine became rancid and I had to unfortunately pitch it before it was empty. My mistake.

I keep it refrigerated once I open the bottle . I would suggest that any oil that does not have preservatives in it , it would be best to use it in no more than 6 months . Any oil without preservatives will become rancid over time .

I have taken fish oil for ages and no it doesn't need to be stored in a refrigerator.. BUT you need to keep it out of the sun and heat

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.

I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet . Lasts me a couple months. Haven't had trouble with it going bad. May not be a bad idea though to keep it in the fridge, especially if its not used quickly. Cooking oils can go bad if left out for too long .

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

I kept the oil in a cabinet, away from light. Would imagine it would last for sometime.Don't know personally since I needed to purchase a new container every 3 months or so.

I just used the last of this oil. It was two years old and as fresh and delicious as the day I bought it. I stored it in the basement in a cupboard.

"Best if used 3 months after opening." No date. Refrigerate after opening. Like any other oil, self life varies, but refrigeration prolongs & you'll smell when it's losing is freshness.
