How to Properly Store and Preserve Your CBD Products

When it comes to maximising the benefits of CBD, proper storage is key. CBD products, like oils, tinctures, and edibles, can lose their potency and freshness if not stored correctly. Whether you are a CBD enthusiast or a retailer, here are some essential tips for storing and preserving your CBD products.

1. Keep CBD Products Away from Light

Exposure to light can degrade CBD and reduce its potency. To prevent this, store your CBD products in a cool, dark place. Avoid placing them near windows or in direct sunlight. Consider using opaque containers or wrapping them in aluminium foil to shield them from light.

2. Maintain Proper Temperature

Heat can also impact the quality of CBD products. High temperatures can cause the cannabinoids to break down, leading to a decrease in effectiveness. Store your CBD products in a cool area, away from heat sources such as stoves, ovens, or radiators. Room temperature (around 20-25 degrees Celsius or 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit) is ideal for preserving CBD freshness.

3. Choose Airtight Containers

Airtight containers help protect CBD products from exposure to oxygen, which can lead to oxidation and a decrease in potency. Consider using high-quality, airtight containers such as the '160 x 30 Dram Pop Top Storage Bottles'. With a random colour chosen for each bottle, these containers boast an innovative and simple design that allows for easy opening. You'll receive 160 pieces in each box, making it the optimum choice for the storage of CBD products, medicines, herbs, and dried flowers. These bottles are perfect for keeping your CBD products fresh and potent.

4. Avoid Humidity

Moisture and humidity can cause CBD products to degrade more quickly. To prevent this, store your CBD products in a dry environment. Avoid storing them in bathrooms or areas prone to high humidity levels. If you live in a particularly humid climate, you may want to consider using moisture-absorbing packets or silica gel packs to reduce humidity inside the storage container.

5. Store Away from Strong Odours

CBD products can easily absorb odours from their surroundings. To maintain the integrity of your CBD products, store them away from strong-smelling substances such as spices, cleaning products, or perfumes. This will help preserve their natural flavours and prevent any unwanted contamination.

6. Check Expiration Dates

CBD products have a shelf life, so it's important to check their expiration dates. Using expired products can lead to a decrease in potency and effectiveness. Always label your CBD products with the purchase date and regularly check for expiration dates to ensure you are using them within their recommended timeframe.

7. Keep CBD Products Out of Reach of Children and Pets

It's important to store your CBD products in a secure location, out of reach of children and pets. CBD products may look and smell appealing to them, but they are not intended for consumption by animals or children. Ensure that your CBD products are stored in a place where they cannot accidentally access them.

8. Consider Refrigeration for Some CBD Products

While refrigeration is not necessary for all CBD products, some may benefit from being kept in the refrigerator. CBD edibles, for example, can become soft or melt in higher temperatures, so refrigeration can help maintain their shape and texture. However, it's important to note that refrigeration may cause changes in the consistency of some CBD products, such as tinctures or oils. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific storage recommendations.

9. Keep Track of Your CBD Products

As a CBD enthusiast or retailer, it's essential to keep track of your CBD products to ensure they are used before their expiration dates. Implement a FIFO (First In, First Out) system to ensure that older products are used first. Label your CBD products with the purchase date and organise them accordingly to avoid any wastage.

10. Purchase CBD Products from Reputable Sources

Lastly, it's important to purchase your CBD products from reputable sources. High-quality CBD products are often packaged in a way that helps maintain their freshness and potency. Look for products that come in opaque, airtight containers with clear labelling and proper storage instructions.

By following these CBD storage tips, you can ensure that your CBD products maintain their potency, freshness, and effectiveness. Proper storage and preservation will allow you to fully enjoy the benefits of CBD for a longer period of time.
