Does anyone know if there is an expiration date on it or if the oils break down over time?

Positively not. I'm a hairdresser and have used this product and all their products for years. I'm extremely satisfied and I just love all Hemps products. I'm using the gallon now and I'm very happy with it. Recommend highly

I didn't notice an expiration date on the bottle. Maybe you could request that with your order from this seller.

The longest I have kept a gallon is a year. I pumped it into smaller dispenser. It did not separate or break down. I love this lotion.

There is no expiration date in it. I have used this lotion since they came out with it, and love it! To me nothing compares. Its not for everyone, some say they dont like the smell, I think it has a nice warm smell. As for it breaking down.. NO! I buy it by the gallon for that reason. It last a long time, soaks in well and is not greasy. I have stored it in my bathroom and never had any issues. I keep a bottle in my travel bag and it doesnt get used for months sometimes, has never separated for me. The ingredients are so close to being natural, I wouldnt ever worry about it separating. Just dont store it in a hot place, That would break anything down. There is no expiration date in it. I have used this lotion since they came out with it, and love it! To me nothing compares.

No expiration date on the bottle. I split a bottle with a couple of friends so it doesn't last long. I have keep an gallon for at least a year without any type of degradation. Hope this helps.

I've had 3 of these and each gallon has lasted well over a year and I've never noticed any breakdown. The lotion get's hard in the tip of the gallon pump, but it's a tiny amount and that's the only thing I've noticed. I hope this helps. I love this lotion. I've been using it since 2002

It does last awhile, BUT this is a bad deal. Young Living normally sells the 15ml bottle of this for $75 wholesale, and if you buy their premium starter kit for $150, you get 11 5ml oils (including this one), plus a diffuser, so they are basically up-charging this hugely. Also, I wouldn't trust any seller online & Young Living only stands by their products sold directly from their website, not a third party. If you were interested in purchasing a kit, you could contact me & I'll help you! My member number is 1616404, and you can look at all your options at youngliving.com! :)

To my knowledge, Green Pastures puts a manufacturing date not an expiration date on their product. I'd contact them directly if you're concerned. If you go to the FAQ's on their website there's an audio explanation. I haven't listened to it because I'm at school, without headphones... Anyway, off the top of my head I'd say as long as it was stored in the refrigerator and it doesn't smell rancid I'd think it's ok. But to be safe, you might want to contact them. My oil has a pleasant odor so I'd notice if it had changed for some reason. I hope that helps!

The bottle does not have an expiration date. My wife has never told me the product eventually quit working.

I imagine it will last a very long time...it's like storing walnuts in the freezer--the freezing stops the oil from going rancid.

Yes -unlike most herbal oils I use, there is an expiration date on the bottom of the bottle.

Didn't find an expiration date in the bottles. The oils are pretty clean and color-wise on the clear side. So I'm guessing they are refined oils, whether or not they are plant based or manufactured I'm not sure. Hope this helps. The labels do say or external use but I still use a drop or two in my morning smoothies. No chemical tastes whatsoever.

It is an oil and would last longer if refrigerated. Not sure on shelf life, but i figure a few months. I store mine in fridge and put a small amount in my bathroom for using.

I checked on my jar and didn't find an expiration date. I've had it for almost a year and it was not kept in climate controlled conditions. Suffered through the 100degree heat along with me! We are both still intact!

I've had mine for about 2 months and haven't had a problem. And to be honest the first time I cleaned it was yesterday. I have been using DoTerra oils in it. Hopefully the manufacturer or vendor can provide you some help.

Although ours rarely lasts that long, I doubt it will go bad. I don't believe they use bio oils that will go rancid. We found a bottle in back of the closet that was forgotten and at least 2-3 yrs old. It twas still fine. This is a great product and we highly recommend it. Plus it's made in the USA!

Ive had mine 2 yrs and although discolored, still works great, Never put oil on it though.

Sorry i did not notice the expire date, i already used it and going to order another one. I would recommend this oil to you, because its not sticky like other oils.

I have used mine up and have not replaced yet. But the bottle I had, had 6 months left on expiration when I had checked.

I really don't know but since it is a natural oil, I would think it would be fine for quite a while. I know oils can get old and smelly.

Mine shows expiration of January 2016. However, due to latest research, my wife and I no longer take fish oil.
