Hipiwe 108-Bottle Essential Oil Storage Carrying Case

If you have a lot of essential oils, you should look into some storage to keep them safe. The last thing you want is for a fragile bottle to break and spill liquid everywhere. 

With essential oil storage, you’re not only protecting your investment — you are staying organized. And the fact is, when you organize your oils, you’re more likely to use them. Keeping them labeled and handy makes it that much easier to reach for them when you need them.

When properly stored, essential oils have a longer life span. If left unattended, oils begin to degrade and oxidation takes place a lot faster. Some oils are more prone to degradation, like those that contain citrus; however, even these will last up to two years if stored correctly. Some oils, including sandalwood and patchouli, can last up to eight years.

When oils are not stored correctly, they may succumb to three environmental evils: air, light or heat. Because air causes oxidation, you will want to keep your bottles sealed up tight. Harmful UV rays can negatively react with essential oils, so look for bottles that are darker in color to help combat exposure. You should also store your bottles in a darker place, like inside a storage container or cabinet.

High temperatures can affect the consistency and chemical composition of oils, so try not to store your oils where the sun hits, or where it naturally gets hotter during the day. Think of places that are cooler in nature, such as your bathroom.

All these reasons and more explain why it is important to carefully consider your essential oil storage options.

The Tress Wellness 70-bottle storage case is a good overall choice. This container saves space, prevents bottles from clanking against each other and protects against light. If you are looking for a case that does it all, this one might fit the bill. Another option is to go with a custom-made box that holds 25 bottles and comes with essential oil labels.
