Shelf Life & Storage
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Shelf life | 36 months (sealed) |
| Temperature | 15–25°C |
| Light | Dark, amber container |
| After opening | Reseal, minimize headspace |
- Waxy solidification over time is normal; warm gently (30–40°C) and mix before use
- Signs of aging: loss of violet-powdery top, increasing harshness, wax separation
- Because orris is naturally stable (rich in fatty esters), it keeps exceptionally well compared with citrus oils
Follow the storage label on each container and rotate stock first-in, first-out.
