How should this tea tree oil be transported and stored to maintain quality?
Store this tea tree oil in tightly sealed containers, away from heat, light and air — in original drums or amber glass, at a stable temperature between 5-25 °C, to preserve the terpinen-4-ol profile.
Transport & Storage
| Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Container | Original sealed drum or tight amber/brown glass; keep headspace small |
| Temperature | 5-25 °C stable; avoid extreme heat or freezing |
| Light | Keep in the dark or dim storage; avoid direct sunlight |
| Air/oxygen | Minimize exposure — oxidation degrades terpenes; nitrogen-flush for long storage |
| Humidity | Keep dry; avoid damp environments |
| Shelf life under good storage | 2 years unopened from production date |
- Do not store near strong-smelling chemicals — the oil readily absorbs foreign odors
- In large drums, transfer to smaller containers as used to reduce headspace oxidation
- Re-seal immediately after each opening; a full drum kept closed will stay within spec for the shelf life
- During transport, drums must be upright, secure and away from heat sources and direct sun
- If the oil crystallizes at low temperature, warm gently (not above 40 °C) and re-mix before use — quality is unaffected
