Essential oils do not expire in the same way that food does, but they can lose their potency over time. The shelf life of an Essential Oil depends on a number of factors, including the type of oil, how it is stored, and how often it is used.

Most essential oils will last for 2-5 years when stored properly. However, some oils, such as citrus oils, have a shorter shelf life of 1-2 years. Other oils, such as patchouli and vetiver, can last for 6-8 years or more.

To extend the shelf life of your essential oils, store them in a cool, dark place in tightly sealed amber glass bottles. Avoid exposing them to heat, light, and oxygen.

If you notice that an essential oil has changed color, consistency, or aroma, it is best to dispose of it. Expired essential oils may not be as effective and could even be harmful to your health.
