Essential oils are sensitive to heat and oxygen, and they can lose their potency if they are not cared for properly. Always store your oils in a cool, dark place, with the lid tightly capped.

Over time, oils that are regularly exposed to oxygen can become oxidized. This means that they no longer have the potency that they once had. If left exposed to air over the course of a few months, the overall chemistry of some oils can change.

To avoid this, make sure to tightly cap all your oils when they are not in use.

Here are some ways you can tell if an oil has oxidized:

The smell is off

It is a different color

The consistency has changed

The oil looks cloudy
