Storage
This special blend of oils can be degraded by oxygen and sunlight. Therefore this bottle has an integrated oxygen barrier and is also dark and opaque to limit sunlight exposure. Please ensure the lid is tightly closed after use. Refrigeration will help prevent oil degradation but please shake before use.
