Since oils can be become rancid, rendering them without benefit - if not toxic - what is the shelf life (Expiry) for this organic oil?

There is no exp. date on bottle. I have had mine for almost a year and it looks and smell fine. I leave it in the bathroom drawer which temp gets no higher than 70 degrees all year. It is only a third gone so I expect to have it for about two more years. I hope this helps, if not you can ask the company directly- they are good about that.

That I Am unaware but I would not recommend this oil. There also is no return policy

It's not really an oil, but rather a liquid wax ester. Don't have to worry about it going rancid.

Hello. I have had my oil sense purchase and still use it today on my face and scalp. It is of great quality and therefore I believe its shelf life is between 6-12 months. This is just my opinion, however. Take care.

It's true oils can become rancid, but it doesn't depend on the product itself, but more importantly, how you store it. Keep it away from heat and light in a tightly closed bottle and you should be fine. If it starts to smell, stop using it.

Yes just make sure you put it in the refrigerator after you open it, as the shelf life for grapeseed oil can last up to one year, hope this helps :)

Neither the box nor jar the creme comes in indicates an expiration date. I personally would use it within two years, but if you're really concerned about it going rancid I think your best bet for a straight-up answer would be to either contact the company's customer service department and ask.

With most cosmetics if they have preservatives (I do not believe that this one has any because it is an oil) the shelf life is 3 years. This question is best posed to the seller though.

Yes. It's not really an expiration date. It's a best by date. A few months over usually won't matter at all, especially if you are low humidity. Over six months it won't taste as good and you might need to add extra baking powder to get it to rise. It won't make you sick, but also won't be as nutritious or tasty. The fats will eventually go rancid and it will smell off. It's a waste of you other ingredients to use it then because it won't taste good. It depends on how and where it was stored how long it will last, humidity and temperature being factors. If you open it and it smells off, don't bother cooking it. I wouldn't use it much over a year past the best by date. Yes. It's not really an expiration date. It's a best by date.

Oil doesn't go bad like, for example, milk. It'll lose some flavor over time. Even if the manufacturer puts en expiration date and you exceed it, there's no reason to throw the product away. Oil is a preservative for food items, like vinegar and salt, which don't go bad either. Taste it if you don't like the flavor after a year or so, don't use it. The avocado oil will congeal if kept in the refrigerator too cold, so if you just use it very seldom, pour it out into a container with a lid and either refrigerate it or freeze it and scoop out what you need.

No Galyna, it does not have an expiration date and my coconut oil or hemp oil doesn't either. I know Flax Oil does become rancid, but that's all the info I have on oils.

No, it's not. If possible, you should return it. Anything, including human food, should never smell like rancid oil. If it does, it's no longer good. Marianne

We filter the oil through a few layers of cheesecloth and have been able to reuse the same oil 4 or 5 times over 2 years. We are now planning to recycle the oil after it's next use. I've heard to expect about 1 year, but as long as it's filtered and not burned or rancid, it should be good to go again.

It can pass the expiration date and go rancid. I purchased 2 years ago and mine has NOT done that yet. Keep it in refrigerator to extend life of product indefinitely. Hope that helps...

Mine had March 1, 2015 on it. I don't want to sound cavalier about it, but this is one of those products I don't worry about with regard to expiration, although there's plenty of time left. It's made of roasted grain that has a long shelf life. I suppose it could eventually get rancid, but it may take a long time. By that time it will be gone.

I no longer have the box that mine came in so I can't find an official expiration date. But, I opened mine and used it back in early April (2014) and I just checked it and it's still good. No rancid smell, hasn't all dried up (I mean, you have to reapply water to use it but once I did that it works fine). Unopened I bet it lasts for a very long time. It's a great product.

Hi! Thank you for your question, The oil has a shelf life of at least 2 years from the date of purchase, and even more if stored properly. We do not put an expiration date on the oil since we do not know what conditions the oil will be stored under once it leaves amazon. Please let us know if you have any other question. Have a great day! :)

I would imagine it's just marked like a food item meaning it's still good after that date, but just best used by the date marked. Being an oil like product (but maybe some preservatives in it), if it's too far past the 'best by date', it could go rancid. You would smell it if it was bad.

Since it's a saturated fat oil, like ghee, it can last years though most people will try to use within one year. You can store in the refrigerator, but it will harden and be difficult to use so I keep mine in my cupboard. When I buy more than one though, I store one in the freezer or refrigerator.

I think olive oil and general cooking oils can become rancid. I don't take the chance.

Hi Nonny,Great question! Organic Argan Oil has a typical shelf life of 2 years.Please note that we indicate the expiration date for each of our natural products on the label. This is typically notated by a '12m' (1 year) or '24m' (2 year) symbol.Hope this helps!Best,Troy - Foxbrim
