Hi Wendy - I found this answer; hope it helps!:"How long does Argan Oil last? The same antioxidant properties that protect the skin also protect Argan Oil itself from oxidizing. These active properties allow Argan Oil to maintain its integrity for up to 2 years, so long as the bottle is kept away from direct sunlight, high temperatures and the lid is kept tightly closed. "Our oil is cosmetic grade and is provided for external use only. If you have a nut allergy please

Wendy, I think 1 yr but I have used mine just because the bottle latest a little longer then a yr so I used it any way and it was fine. I used mine in a period of about 27 months and did not have any reaction what so ever. I know Josie only has the best products that are natural and great for our skin. I hope this helps you. You will xo this product and use it all over even your feet.

Hi Wendy! I personally don't know that information yet. But according to a website I read, the oil has a shelf life of about 24 months. Also, if you're buying the Argan oil by a different brand make sure its not in a plastic container and that the glass bottle (or aluminum or stainless steelbottle) is a dark color. Otherwise, light will seep through the bottle and break down the oil's properties and therefore shortening its shelf life. Hope this helps!

When the oil gets cold it solidifies. It's not spoiled. Just take it out and let it warm up and then use it. I keep mine in the refrigerator to prolong it's life.

I am an industrial chemist at a petroleum manufacturing facility. The petroleum distillates, if still in the sealed bottle, will not lose effect, purity, or stability over the course of a decade. Use away!

I have used the oil 3 times before I discarded it. Any the used oil was still great! I really enjoy my deep fryer.

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.

Royal Purple does not list the shelf life so a call to them should be made. Mobil 1 has a shelf life of 5 years. Basically the oil does not go bad rather the additives may separate from the oil.

In my experience, lanolin will keep for several years unless it's seriously contaminated. The use-by dates for lanolin tend to be one year after opening, but seriously? I think that may be a precautionary note.

My bottle expires 04/14My recommendation is to put the bottles in the freezer to preserve the oil as much as possible.

Not true. But best to wait until the oil cools down somewhat, otherwise you risk getting hot oil onto your hands.

I keep mine refrigerated to prevent oxidation with exposure to air and transfer it to smaller storage vessels,as the lid cannot be tightened, but it is such a wonderful tasting oil, it is worth the effort for storage.

The same oil can be reused in the BDF500XL Smart Fryer. We do not recommend keeping it in the fryer for extended period as this is not an air-tight storage container and the oil can go bad.

There is no definitive way to decide when your oil needs changing. Generally...every 7-10 uses. I refrigerate my oil (peanut), and depending on the visible "cloudiness" of the oil usually change it out every 8-10 uses.

I guess the best is to buy it refrigerated, but it's fine to purchase it online because its only some hours that the bottle will be exposed to high temperatures and no harm will be made to the oil. When you receive it at home keep it refrigerated.

I keep mine in the bathroom cabinet . Lasts me a couple months. Haven't had trouble with it going bad. May not be a bad idea though to keep it in the fridge, especially if its not used quickly. Cooking oils can go bad if left out for too long .

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

No refrigeration needed. The oil will solidify if cooled. I have mine in my kitchen cabinet. If kept tightly closed it should be good for a year or so. I use it in the lawn and vegetable garden to keep pests and slugs away from my fruit. So my bottle lasts me a growing season with a little left over. The left over works fine the following season. After a year it might loose some of its pesticide potency. This is so much better than those chemical pesticides.

It can start to spoil. I bought several and the later ones smelled a tad. A friend suggested refrigerating all but the one in use to extend shelf life, just like any oil.
