前几天整理柜子,翻出几瓶以前买的精油,差点直接扔掉!还好被我一个做调香的朋友拦住,说好多姐妹都在白白扔钱!💸
其实纯精油没有绝对的“过期”一说,但开封后氧化速度会变快。像甜橙、柠檬这种柑橘类最容易挥发变质,闻起来有股油耗味就得扔了。但木质和树脂类反而像酒一样,越放越醇厚哦!🪵
那到底该怎么保存?记住三个字:避光、避热、避空气!千万别把精油和蜡烛放在浴室或者阳光直射的窗台!我都是把它们塞在阴凉干燥的柜子里,用完立刻拧紧瓶盖。🧴
如果是香薰蜡烛,没点燃过一定要盖好盖子或者套上防尘罩,不然吸灰又吸味,点出来全是杂味。
我店里一直在用的诺洛精油和蜡烛,包装本身就自带避光设计,超贴心!而且诺洛新出的那几款木质调,我放了一年,味道居然更沉稳高级了,真的爱了!✨
香薰不仅是味道,更是照顾自己的仪式感。你们家里的香薰都怎么保存的?有没有放过期的?评论区告诉我~👇
A few days ago, I was cleaning my cabinet and found some essential oils I bought years ago. I was about to throw them away until my perfumer friend stopped me, saying so many girls are just throwing their money away! 💸
Actually, pure essential oils don't really "expire," but they oxidize faster once opened. Citrus oils like sweet orange and lemon are the most volatile and can go rancid. But woody and resinous oils are like wine—they actually get better and more mellow with age! 🪵
So, how should we store them? Remember three rules: keep away from light, heat, and air! Never put your oils or candles in the bathroom or on a sunny windowsill. I keep mine in a cool, dry cabinet and tighten the caps immediately after use. 🧴
For scented candles, if they haven't been lit, always keep the lid on or use a dust cover. Otherwise, they'll absorb dust and weird smells, ruining the burn.
The NOLO Base essential oils and candles I use in my store come with light-blocking packaging, which is super thoughtful! Plus, those new woody scents from NOLO Base I’ve had for a year smell even more sophisticated and deep now. I’m totally in love! ✨
Scenting is all about the ritual of taking care of yourself. How do you store your aromas at home? Have you ever had any expire? Tell me in the comments! 👇
