itunu Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yes fragrance oils/essential oils will keep for longer if they are stored in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yes. And no.What you do not want to do is keep changing the temp. Cold, warm, cold, warm actually promotes degradation. If you use something fairly often and have a large amount, pour off a smaller amount to keep at room temp and chill the remainder. If you have a smaller amount you use less than once a month then keep it chilled. If you use something more often than once a month it's better to keep it (a reasonable) room temperature. FOs at room temp are good for a year or more (essential oils vary greatly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandkennasmom Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks so much for the help! I never knew this and I had a friend that has just started making candles tell me this. Wasn't sure if she had 1 to many screwdrivers that night*drunken posting* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
