What is the best way to store essential oils, especially during very hot summer weather?

I store them in my underwear drawer and they seem to be ok. I don't know if this is the best place to store them, but it works for me! I'm sure you can google it for more accurate information!

I think they recommend storing them tightly sealed in a cool space like a pantry.

Just in a cool dry place. Kitchen cabinet works. It's oil, so it won't evaporate like a normal liquid.

I use a small mister which holds a little less than 1/2 cup water with instructions to use 3-4 drops of essential oils. I don't know that there is a set ratio, but more about personal preference. The more oil, the stronger the vapor/smell, so it's a bit of testing the number of drops of oil until it's right for you.

Keep it out of sunlight and store it in a cool, dry, and dark place. It doesn't matter where really, I use my pantry.

I store beans, grains, nuts and seeds in these containers. In really hot humid weather, moths develop inside the containers. My solution is to keep the containers in the refrigerator or freezer during the months of July and August. Perhaps a cool basement would also work. The seal is fairly tight but is not waterproof. I do not know if a tighter fitting seal would stop moth development.

Keep them in a tightly lidded jar - a dry place. That's not difficult here in Arizona. Hope this helps.

I keep mine refrigerated to prevent oxidation with exposure to air and transfer it to smaller storage vessels,as the lid cannot be tightened, but it is such a wonderful tasting oil, it is worth the effort for storage.

I live in Austin, TX and use the product in my Motor Home. It is stored in a lower storage compartment in a plastic tub and I have had no problems in six years. In the summer, the road and ambiant temperature can well exceed 100 degrees.

when the weather gets hot all coconut oils melt into a liquid. if you want it solid then keep it refrigerated.

I put essential oils in mine but take immediately. I read somewhere they will disintegrate after a while.

If you are planning to use the spice jars to hold the essential oils, I would think you might run into some trouble. The jar included in the set have plastic lids and are definitely not air tight (many have mentioned that the more finely grated spices spill out of the lid) so you could not only have the mess of the oil spilling out, but the smells would presumably escape as well. But if you are planning to leave the oils in their original jars and just use the bamboo case to store them, that might work (if the dimensions are right). Hope that helps.

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

I keep it in a tightly sealed glass container in a cabinet. I think the three main things to consider are to keep it tightly sealed, keep it in a dark place, and keep it away from heat.

I use hot soapy water, soaking if necessary. I air dry, and store folded in half or thirds.

Store in airtight containers in dry places away from sunlight and heat. Whole cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon sticks maintain quality beyond 2 year period. Dried spices and herbs don

I prefer storing the oil in glass, especially dark glass. I use the 2 liters in a month and often store portions of it in different dark glass containers.

Yes, I have mine stored in a plastic container that has a tight seal and I made sure that the container did not have any aromas still associated with it before I added the product.

I use smaller containers only because I add essential oils to them. I have a bottle for the baby and one for me.
