Essential oils are natural luxuries: pure, aromatic, and full of character. But like fine perfume, they’re also delicate. To keep your oils fresh and long-lasting, it’s important to store them the right way.
Improper storage can cause the fragrance to fade or evaporate faster than it should.
Here’s how to protect your oils so they stay beautifully scented from the first drop to the last.
1. Keep them away from heat and sunlight
Direct sunlight and heat are the main causes of oil degradation. They can alter the scent and cause the natural components to evaporate more quickly.
✔️ Tip:
Store your essential oils in a cool, dry place such as a cabinet, drawer, or shaded shelf.
Avoid leaving them near windows, stoves, or in the bathroom where temperature changes frequently.
2. Store them in their black box
Your ScentiHome essential oil bottle is designed in a sleek, white tone that reflects purity and simplicity. However, light can still affect the oil’s quality over time.
That’s why it comes with a protective black box, not only to elevate the unboxing experience, but also to shield the oil from light and temperature fluctuations.
✔️ Tip:
After each use, place the bottle back inside its black box. This simple habit keeps your oil safe and helps maintain the scent’s integrity for longer.
3. Always tighten the cap after each use
Exposure to air can cause oxidation, dulling the aroma and reducing effectiveness.
✔️ Tip:
After using, close the cap tightly to prevent evaporation.
Wipe the rim of the bottle if needed to ensure a clean, airtight seal every time.
4. Avoid sudden temperature changes
Moving your bottle from a cool place to a warm area (like a car or bathroom) can create condensation and affect the oil’s purity.
✔️ Best practice:
Keep your oils in one consistent location, ideally at room temperature.
5. Use within 1–2 years after opening
Even when stored perfectly, natural essential oils will gradually age.
For the best aroma and performance, use your oils within 12–24 months after opening.
