Says has to be refrigerated yet if using after shower not realistic? Can it be used for oil pulling?

I used this as an oral supplement---took a couple teaspoons by mouth daily. I did refridgerate it. I suppose it would eventually go rancid out of the refridgerator, but if you used it on skin after bathing, you would probably use it up before this became a problem. I do not know what oil pulling is.

Are you thinking of sunflower oil? Is different from safflower. I Don't know anyone who refrigerates this one and nor do I. It doesn't say to do so on the bottle either.

No refrigeration. The first time I used it, I put it in the fridge as I would any other open bottle of dressing and the oil solidified and clogged the bottle. I had to wait until it became room temperature to pour it on my salad. 15 minutes was not enough, it took more like 2 hours for me.

No. No oil needs to be refrigerated. I personally finish the whole bottle for one week.

I really don't know. I guess it all depends on how you store it and what you use it for. Her is what I do, the oil I cook with I keep in the frig. the oil and use on my skin at room temp. I try to keep in a cool place. What I use to make lotion with I keep in my basement where I mix it up, that oil has been in my basement for some time. It does get a rancid smell like veggie oil, after awhile. Hope this helps.

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 you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

"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.

I've had mine for a few months and have not refrigerated it. But, I guess it depends on how hot it will get in your house. Any cream/lotion/oil will turn rancid after awhile, but, you probably won't have it that long...lol. I used mine everyday, during the cooler months. Now that it is getting more humid here (AR) I have not used it much. It is still fine, though. I would say if you are worried about it turning rancid on you, then put it in the fridge. Make sure your face and hands are clean before you use the cream so that transfer of your skin oils don't contaminate the jar, as you would for any jar of cream, and you should be fine. Sure hope this helps. I am not an expert, just trying to help. I've had mine for a few months and have not refrigerated it. But, I guess it depends on how hot it will get in your house.

When the oil gets cold it solidifies. It's not spoiled. Just take it out and let it warm up and then use it. I keep mine in the refrigerator to prolong it's life.

Well it depends on your preference. The oil is going to weigh your hair down, preventing it from bring light and bouncy. If that's not the result you want, leave it on 30 minutes or longer and rinse it out.If you have more questions come just post. Don't want you to feel alone on this new journey. Take care

I would put it on the more liquid side with a VERY slight gel consistency. It must be refrigerated per the label. I use it as an aftershave so it's nice that it's cool from the fridge. I can tell you that even cold it is thin and will run through your fingers. Hope this helps. Personally I like it. Some may say it's too thin.

I have mine stored in the linen closet but you can store the jar in the refrigerator. This brand of shea butter is rather grainey but becomes very liquidy if you place some in a small bowl and put it over another larger bowl of very hot water. It melts beautifully, but it's not to soothing to use if left unmelted. Also, I found this brand to have a "smell" that other brands I have purchased did not. But this is a good value for your money.

From what I've read the bottle should be kept in a cool place or even refrigerated. Krill oil can go rancid quickly, thus there's a lot of precautions that go into the processing which is usually done onboard the ship doing the harvesting.

Hello Wanda... thank you for your inquiry. Barlean's products are designed to not have to be refrigerated for storing and/or shipping. Here's what it says on their website: Do you ship the oil refrigerated? Does the transit time affect the oils? Either high heat (over 300 degrees F) or sustained heat over a very long period of time can degrade Omega-3 oils. The relatively short transit times and variable seasonal temperatures encountered during transit have been found to be insignificant when tested extensively. Even shipments arriving in summer heat waves can be assured as being potent and undamaged. However, after the product has been opened. Barlean's Flax oil, fish oils and Omega Swirls should be refrigerated in your home. I don't know why some Grocery retailers sometimes refrigerate and others do not. To make matters a little more confusion... I couldn't find anywhere on the label where it says to refrigerate after opening. For me, I keep a bottle of the lemon swirl at my desk (not refrigerated) for my daily dose and it always taste great! I hope this information is helpful to you.. Have a great day! IWe appreciate to opportunity to help you... If you order, Please choose NutraScience to order your Barlean's products! Best regards, NutraScience Customer Care Team.

I always keep this oil refrigerated because I feel it will keep it from going rancid like some oils do. It is just as easy to grab from the refrigerator as it is the pantry.

It can take as long as 8 hours. I leave in in as long as it is extracting oil.At 130 degrees it won't hurt.

not that I am aware of my bottle doesn't say anything about refrigeration, it is an oil.
