Lana Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just curious if anyone transfers their larger FO's into glass jars to prolong their shelf life. I primarily sell wax melts and it's generally low volume, so some of my FO's can sit for a while. I'm noticing some scents morphing even though they're stored in a cool, dry place and out of sunlight. I'm thinking of buying a bunch of amber glass bottles to transfer FOs into but just wanted to see if it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that PET bottles do a fine job though as they are not generally reactive. HDPE, though, breaks down and can morph the fragrance as aromachemocals decay in reaction with the plastic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lana Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks for the feedback! I'm not going to sell sub-par products when my FO goes bad but definitely want to keep my scents going strong for as long as possible. I'd say I'm a low volume seller by design because my day job is long hours and high stress - I just like a creative outlet. At the same time, I don't want to pour money down the drain, so to speak. I will check the scents that I'm noticing a difference in....that would make sense if they're HDPE. Maybe at the very least, I will swap out my FOs that come in clear plastic even if PET.
