Light breaks down the oil's best properties and keeping it inside something dark is the only way to store Argan Oil. Why is this in clear plastic??

You'd have to ask manufacturer. Mine came in clear glass. Does seem to work on hydrating my skin though...

It may do well to consider the original research (http://sidiyassine.com/documents/science/2_oxidative_stability_of_edible_argan_oil_a_tw.pdf) instead of repeating the marketing devices others use to sell products. Argan oil breaks down with heat and exposure to light, but not as drastic as, say, vitamin C. The study was done for two years and the variance of shelf life between light exposed and non exposed was only several months. Most customers will not keep the product this long. But more importantly, the study was done using clear bottles- ours come in frosted glass bottles. Surely this affords some light protection. The question that should really be asked is whether the oil is exposed to heat and/or light prior to filling and how long the product has been on the shelf before the customer gets it.

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

It's all plastic. The clear oil reservoir has the #7 recycle symbol, and it says that it's 1mm thick. The green portion doesn't have any information on it, as far as I can see.The green part is remarkably fragile. See my review of this product for details.

Hi, the bottle of neem oil I have is in the bottle shown, which is a little opaque. To preserve it longer it can be kept in a cool place such as the fridge. You can also transfer it to a cobalt or brown glass bottle purchased from your local health store. Hope this helps. This neem oil is nice quality.

Plastic. Mine did work but not very well using an oil. I mixed thieves oil with fractionated coconut oil and it didn't work as well as i hoped.

It is semi transparent. I put oil in it an I can see the level. I would suspect you would be able to see clear liquid in it.

I believe the recommendation is that you should use tinted bottles for storage to help prevent the breakdown of the oils from the light. However, I personally use the clear ones because I am diluting my oils with a carrier oil in the roller bottles and I using them up quickly so I feel they aren't in the clear bottles long enough to break down. I also store the bottles in a bag that does not let any light through.

Dr. Mecola suggest IT NOT BE STORED in refrigerator. It is actually an oil you can see floating in capsule. I did for a time put mine in the fridge, but noticed how the oil in capsule hardened. It did soften when taken out of fridge though, while sitting at room temp. I noticed then on his website where the doctor suggests storing it at room temp.

Hi Eliza-Generally speaking, medicines should be kept in their original bottles with their dispensing and usage information. The opaque bottle may also protect the contents from light. Lastly, different types of plastic may not properly handle the chemicals in the product. Guess I'm saying, that while it may be possible, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's always better to keep oils in a glass amber bottle- but plastic is still OK as long as you keep it in a cool dark place.

I would keep them in a cool, dark place, but not in the refrigerator. (Mine are in one of my kitchen cabinets where there is no direct sun, and behind a closed door.) Refrigerated, I think the oil will congeal, and it may affect how it absorbs into your system. You can always call the company if you want confirmation.

I have order the oil in glass container which is better for the oil. Unlike plastic great for shipping. You can check with the company to see why they changed and if you can have a preference. The website is on the container. The company seens tp care about their products they sale. Yes I am the kinda person to read the fine print of things.

The manufacturer may best be able to answer this question. I'm just a consumer but I store my oil in a cabinet - a dry, cool place because I use my oil relatively quickly (about a couple months for 4 ounces.) I use it on my face, neck, chest, a bit for my hair and my hands. If you think it may be many months before you use up the bottle, then maybe the refrigerator would extend the life of the product. Assuming oils that are natural do have a life span that may be a good idea. Again, a quick email to the manufacturer might be of more help. Cheers!

All I have ordered of Barlean's is organic flaxseed oil and it comes in a plastic container. The only thing that I have bought that comes in glass is the Aloe.

Argan Oil is usually packaged in a dark bottle so that it will keep out the light.

It just diffuses them so that the vapor is cool and safe to touch. I love it and use it constantly! You only need 3-4 drops of oil and it lasts for a while. The led light is not as prominent as the add seems to imply but it still diffuses just fine!

The Argan Oil is in a dark blue glass bottle and I detect no smell at all, great oil!

I do not store my Rose-hip oil in the refrigerator. It can be safely stored in the cool dark areas of your bathroom medicine cabinet or other cool cabinets or storage areas. Refrigeration will cause the oil to possibly solidify, so room temperature in cool darkened areas would be best. Enjoy! I love my Rose-hip oil.
