Essential oils don’t spoil like food does, but they do change over time. Because it’s hard to determine what the oils have changed into, it’s also hard to determine whether or not they’re safe to use. The bottom line is, don’t inhale expired essential oils or use them on your skin after they have expired. Essential oils don’t “go bad” in the same way as perishable food. They don’t develop mold, and you won’t find them rotting in the bottle. However, they oxidize and degrade over time due to exposure to air, heat, and light.
What is the best carrier oil for roll-on essential oils?
Fractionated coconut oil is the most popular carrier oil for essential oils, and for good reason. Coconut oil, extracted from the fruit of the coconut tree, is a super-oil full of natural antioxidants and is in itself an excellent antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory oil. Fractionated Coconut Oil (MCT) is widely considered the best for commercial perfumes because it is completely odorless, stays liquid, and has an indefinite shelf life. Jojoba is the best choice for premium, natural-positioned brands.
