"Hi, I'm Sundae from Natural Sundae, and I'm going to give you a few tips on the proper ways to store essential oils. Now, I don't know if you know anything about essential oils, but I'll tell you something. They're very precious, and they're almost alive. They come from living things. So, you have to treat them with care and respect or else they're going to kind of decompress and they're going to die. Now, the best way to treat essential oils is to store them very carefully in amber glass bottles. This is going to keep all the light out. Close them tightly. This will keep all the oxygen out, and of course, keep them away from heat. Light, heat and air can definitely help essential oils degrade and you don't want that. So, store them in amber glass bottles. Keep them tight, and if you buy a large quantity of essential oils, as you use them, you want to decant them or pour them into a smaller bottle, each time, so that you have; you can minimize the amount of oxygen that's resting at the top of the bottle. And that's basically it. It's very simple. If you take good care of your essential oils, they're really going to take care of you. In other words, they're going to stay around and stay good for a longer amount of time. Okay, well I hope you learned a little bit about how to properly store your essential oils. They are very precious. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae, and you're precious too. Take care."
