How long is the shelf life for this item? I have been using a single bottle for almost a year. Is it still good?

I don't know, but the company has a great website, may find answer on there or a number to call for help.

Yeah, I'd say it's still good. It could probably last up to a few years, or more, if taken care of well (not left in the open and/or with the cap off and making sure to keep the bottle's tip clean after each use).

My bottle has an expiration date of 2/2018. The shelf life is usually long because of the antibacterial properties.

It doesn't have a short shelf life, but I can't remember how long it is off the top of my head. Go to the manufacture's site and contact them.

Hi Joseph, yes there is a shelf life to this product. I bought the product in February of 2012 and the bottle I bought is dated best by 7/20/13. So the product appears to have a one year shelf life. However this still does not indicate that you can't use it after the year. I interrupt this to mean that it probably will then start to losing its potency. I hope this helps.

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.

I can't scientifically tell you about shelf life. In my own experience I've had bottles last well over a year. This oil is highly effective and a little goes a long way, it does have a strong scent, you might want to base it's efficacy on the fact the scent is still strong. I use it on scrapes, cuts, psoriasis patches, etc. basically any skin issue. Best oil I've ever used for these purposes.

I don't see an expiration date on it, but one bottle lasts me for almost a year, and it's always good for that long.

I believe 10yrs is shelf life. People want to store in case of emergency. But I have purchased twice before and each time kept using and enjoying for more than 6 months. It still taste good.

It is good for at least one year, whether kept at room temperature or refrigerated. Each bottle should bear an expiration date.

I'm not sure what the shelf life actually is, but I have had a bottle for 4-5 years, and it still works well.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

I have mine for about a year and it is fine. It should last a long time. A little goes a long way.

Suzi, The last bottle I had I purchased around 2005 and used the last around 2012. It may get a little stronger as the moisture seeps out over time, but I had no problem with a shelf life on it.

I have had my last can for almost a year and it is still good. I keep it in the freezer and it is as fresh as a new can when ever I use it.

The 32 once bottle I am using, has an expiration date of Dec 2012. I purchased it in June 2012, and have used it on a regular bases every since. The product works as well as it did over a year and a half ago. It has not lost it's strength, nor texture. If you are worried about the expiration date, I would recommend purchasing a smaller once bottle.

My husband used this and the shelf life as far as I could tell was over a year because he only used a small amount. I suspect it is a very long shelf life.

Well there is a smell to it, but it has a shelf life of about 1.5yrs. Can you see a date anywhere on the bottle? I do not leave mine in direct light either. You could call the manufacturer

I don't have an exact amount of time for its shelf life. But in my opinion, it lasts long enough to be satisfactory, whether in a drawer or whether it's been used to glue something. Nothing, as we know, lasts forever.
