You may be wondering what’s the best way to store CBD oil before or after you have purchased it; either way, you must know the best way to look after your CBD products to get the best out of them! Before we dive into this blog post, let’s cover some of the basics, so you understand why it’s important to take care in how you store your CBD oil.
CBD Oil (also known as Cannabidiol oil) is an oil made by extracting CBD from a cannabis plant and diluting it with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil. CBD is not psychoactive and will not get you high, as THC, the compound found in cannabis that gets you high, is not present in most CBD products.

You may be wondering exactly what the benefits of CBD Oil are, especially as we’ve explained they are not psychoactive!
We like to reference the scientists for this one! Havard published a CBD study in 2021 with their findings on the benefits of CBD. The most notable include:
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to the good stuff! Here’s everything you need to know about how find the best place to store CBD oil in your home.
To protect your CBD oil, you should aim to store it in an area no warmer than 23°C. That means you can store it the same way you would other oils in your kitchen, like sunflower or vegetable oil, and keep it at room temperature. You must ensure with this method that you keep your CBD oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
By choosing to refrigerate your CBD oil, you can ensure it remains in a cool, dark place which will increase its overall shelf life. However, make sure you keep an eye on your CBD oil as you may find the extremely cool temperature of your fridge could cause the oil to thicken, making it more difficult to dispense through the dropper.
You should always check with the brand you have purchased your CBD oil from to be sure on the exact life pan of your CBD oil. At Prym Health, we have found that when storing our CBD oil products correctly, they can last anywhere from 1-2 years. It’s worth noting that correctly storing your CBD is the best way to ensure it lasts longer!
We recommend keeping your CBD oil in the container it came in for the best results. This ensures an airtight seal around the oil and reduces the risk of cross-contamination when removing your oil from the original container to a new one.
If you notice the original container of your CBD oil has begun to degrade, then we recommend decanting it into a dark-coloured airtight container to ensure you maintain proper storage.
We always recommend checking the expiration date of your CBD oil to be sure of the product’s shelf life. If you notice your CBD oil is about to expire, this is the perfect time to order some more rather than find ways to make it last longer!
