Curing & FO Storage


Recommended Posts

Hello my dudes, I am a newborn candlemaker, been at it only 2 months. This community seems to be worth its weight in fragrance oil! 

A few questions:

How do you store your candles while they cure?

Should I be refrigerating my FOs?

Is it unwise to store my candles in a kitchen cabinet (near the stove/heat source)?

Your fragrance oils will last longer if you have them bottled in dark glass (amber, blue, etc.) and keep them in an inner cabinet where they don't meet up with extremes, esp. heat.  I've never heard of refrigerating them.  For your candles, it's best if they are not kept near a heat source.  I cure mine in a cabinet, if they have lids, I keep them off for a little while until the candle is fully cooled.
