Just as with any product, you want to get the most out of your CBD oil. This includes being aware of the shelf life. The short answer is yes, CBD oil does have an expiration date, which is usually printed on the package label. To ensure that your CBD oil does maintain its potency, follow the tips below.

Keep Away From Direct Sunlight

This is the reason why CBD oil is usually inside a brown or opaque glass bottle. It is best to keep the bottle out of direct sunlight.

Avoid Heated Areas

The bottle should be kept in a cool place, roughly between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Otherwise, the CBD could turn into other forms of cannabinoids and therefore lose its effectiveness. One option is to refrigerate your CBD oil. The oil may thicken so you will have to let it sit out at room temperature or soak it in warm water before using it.

Keep The Bottle Tightly Closed

Prevent excess air from entering the bottle, which would also make the oil less potent.

Store The Bottle In An Upright Position

This will help prevent the oil from coming into contact with the plastic lid or go inside the dropper.

Avoid Other Forms Of Contamination

Most CBD oil comes inside a bottle with a dropper pipette, which makes it easy to use and administer. When taking sublingually, be sure the dropper only touches the area under the tongue and not other areas of the mouth. Be sure to also wash your hands before using the product. If your bottle does not come with a dropper, use a spoon. Try your best to keep germs from mixing with the oil.

Following these tips should maintain the quality of your CBD oil, besides using it before the expiration date. Once it has expired, throw it away and buy a fresh new bottle. Shop our collection of CBD oils.
