This amount should last me for 2 yrs. What is the best way to store it? Is freezing necessary? I just whip it and use it plain as hand moisturizer...

If your home's temp goes above 90 degrees you might want to refrigerate it. Otherwise it'll just get soft when its warm

no need to freeze it, but in the warm months, I may put it into the refridgerator just to stiffen it up a bit.

Use ziplock freezer bags to store - no freezing needed; cut n parts & place n separate bags to use as needed. It's wonderful!!! Enjoy!!!!

Yes, you will need to freeze it. It gets all gritty and stuff if you do not.

The best way to keep it fresh is to store in the refrigerator. Caveat: if you've done this before, you do know that this product contains, hydrogen peroxide. I found the 20% to be too strong; it left my teeth quite sensitive to heat and cold. I had never used this high a concentrate. If this doesn't bother you, fine. However, if you're a first-timer, I would select 10% or less. I've had to use a prescription fluoride toothpaste my dentist gave me which is helping. Ice cream? Out of the question. Using a lower strength may take a bit longer, but better to be safe than sorry. BTW, you must have trays that fit your teeth with the gel. Hope this helps.

i find mine lasts a long time. i have never bought it from amazon, but i do buy from an african store in my city. it comes in different colors, sometimes dark like this or sometimes more beigey mixed with dark, but it all lasts the same for me. i buy a chunk and pinch off a small piece. that small piece can do my entire body including my face. i still have a fairly large chunk left over from 4 months ago. you can put it in a container in the shower. i keep mine outside of the shower and just take in the piece that i

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

Shelf life of most products is 2 years. Although organic, these poducts still have preservatives or they woudl spoil after 2 months. The expiration date will vary depending on who you are buying product from. If the product is close to expiratiopn date, of it expired, some retailers may sell it at the deep discount. You should ask this question from a seller. I can tell you that I have been able to use this product for good 6 months. Bottle is quite large and one does not need a lot of exfoliant to cleanse the face. Also, I typically use it in the evening right after removing makeup. In the morning I like to use gel like/liquid cleansers. Hopefully this gives you some guidance. Shelf life of most products is 2 years.

It would last quite awhile 2-3 months . It is a salve not a cream so a very small amount will go a long way.

I don't refrigerate, and i get the 500 ml bottle (I decant to a small spray bottle for use). It lasts me most of a year if i use it only for face, and i have seen no quality difference at the end of the bottle. Love it!

If you keep this product in a cool and dry location (not in your garage) it will last for years (i.e. don't let it freeze and no long term storage in hot climate- working under the assumption the bottle is capped and closed tight).. My bottle is a year old; but am familiar with both water and solvent based acrylic solution products.

I have mine stored in the linen closet but you can store the jar in the refrigerator. This brand of shea butter is rather grainey but becomes very liquidy if you place some in a small bowl and put it over another larger bowl of very hot water. It melts beautifully, but it's not to soothing to use if left unmelted. Also, I found this brand to have a "smell" that other brands I have purchased did not. But this is a good value for your money.

This is not one that you soak in water. The frozen gel will last a while depending on how hot it is outside and how hot your skin temp usually is. If it is very hot outside and you have a high skin temp normally I would say the packs will last about two hours or so frozen. You still get some cooling though through the liquid gel for a little bit. I would get an extra set and keep it in a cooler in your car or on your work site if possible. That is what we have done for my mom and it works great for her.

It's a concentrate and I don't expect it to last forever. I'm on my 2nd bottle and use it with orange juice as a prevention for gout which I have a history of. Under the cap is plastic/cardboard insert. I recommend that be removed so mold does not collect on it. Also, keep it refrigerated. I don't believe any preservatives are added.

I have it in my cupboard. It should keep for 2+ years that way, but one can put it in the freezer too. You can store in a glass jar or leave in the resealable bag it comes in.

I do not know but my first bottle I had for over 3 months it last just fine. I even kept it in the shower where it was prone to get moisture. Moisture is hard on the Eminence moisturizers so keep them in the Fridge. As long as you keep it closed up I think it will last quite a while.

Hi Dawn...just store it in a jar with a tight lid in a cool dark place. If too hot in your home place container in the fridge. You can take it out when your home gets cooler again...you should be able to keep for up to a year. Hope this helps!

Doterra brands last a long time (Id say months) if stored in a cool dark place. I store them in a chest of drawers. I have read blogs that say they can last years but i use mine so frequently that storing them for long periods of time is not an issue for me. I am careful not to contaminate, however, and that I do not touch the opening with my fingers and instead pore directly onto a separate container and generally dilute for my uses. I do this with the stronger ones and most expensive ones. Keep in mind that less amount with more frequent treatments is the better course.

I store this product in the drawer of the refrigerator but not the freezer. It likes dark cool place. I think it can keep from months to a year. Last time, I kept it in the frig for a year, it was still o.k. when I dyed my hair.
