Essential Oil Storage Boxes | Aromatherapy

More About our Essential Oils Storage Boxes...

It’s all well and good keeping your essential oils organised and in order, but you need to keep them protected from the sun and cool to prevent evaporation. Our storage boxes are ideal for that. And they feature attractive clasps, ideally-sized compartments and a sturdy protective design as well.

They can extend the shelf life of your products by keeping them cool, safe from extreme temperature changes and away from direct sunlight. Specifically crafted in a number of shapes and sizes, these storage boxes are perfect for budding aromatherapists.

The best way to store essential oils

They key to storing essential oils is temperature and light – put them somewhere warm or in the sun and they’re going to evaporate in a flash – they only need around 38 degrees Celsius to start degrading.

It is best to keep essential oil in a cool shaded place away from any heat or light sources. And keep their lids on tight.

Should you keep essential oils in the fridge?

The fridge is the perfect place to store your essential oils, as long as you don’t mind applying them cold.

Otherwise, just keep them protected from the elements – a solid, opaque storage box with a lid is best, then roll the container in your hands to warm it up for use.

How long do essentials oils last when stored?

If you store them correctly, your oils should be good for up to a year, but if you’re not sure, look out for:

The smell – is it different? Less powerful?
The look – has it separated? Does it look cloudy compared the last time you used it?

If so, it may be good to get a new batch. Certain oils do oxidise and degrade faster than others, so keep an eye on it.
