What is the Shelf Life of CBD Oil?

Does CBD oil really expire – does it have a specific shelf life?

I mean, come on, with all that natural goodness in these bottles, it should be able to sustain itself for quite some time!

While it’s true that cannabidiol tinctures and other products do store quite well, they won’t hold up indefinitely.

When Does CBD Oil Expire?

The CBD oil shelf life is approximately two years.

Can CBD oil go bad during this time? It is possible.

Herbal tinctures that are exposed to oxygen can take on microbes and bacteria. Warm conditions in the environment around the bottle can promote the spreading of these elements, leading to visible grime and spoilage. 

However, when a CBD tincture or product is stored in a cool dark place, such as the refrigerator, then the shelf life can easily extend to the predicted two years and beyond.

How Can You Tell If CBD Has Expired?

The signs of spoilage will vary depending on the ingredients and the product on hand. A smell test and visible check can go a long way. If you know a product is under two years old and shows no aging signs, it is likely safe to enjoy.

Keep in mind that the potency of your cannabidiol items can degrade well before they expire. Using items past the expiration date is not always harmful, but it can certainly be ineffective. Always use your discretion when taking items that have been stored out of the refrigerator for an extended period. 

What Is The Best Way To Store Cannabidiol?

A cold dark place is the best spot for herbal tinctures of all kinds, including cannabidiol. Besides choosing an ideal location with these conditions, it’s always a good idea to ensure that the packaging is kept clean.

When using a tincture oil bottle, oxygen and bacteria from contact are the only ways to spread microbes to the formula. You can combat these microbes by frequently washing the dropper and bottle with warm water. Always include a bit of soap now and then. Wiping the outside of the bottle, and the opening, with a wet cloth, will provide all the care that your product needs.

If you plan on storing your item for an extended portion of the two-year shelf life, you don’t need to worry about regularly checking in to clean the item. While the object is firmly sealed, the oxygen and external microbes don’t offer any threat to the cleanliness of the wellness brew held within.

Storing Topical and Vape Juice Products

There are some exceptions to these rules. For example, some topical bases and vape juices will acquire condensation when kept in cold conditions. This condensation will not always reverse when reintroduced to heat. If the condensation does spread, it will not always mix evenly with the bulk of the product.

Think lumpy topical creams and thick vape juices that don’t sublimate quite right. It’s not pleasant on the skin, and it can gunk up your vape device. When working with these items, storing them in a cool cupboard with no light is recommended.
