How should essences be stored?
A. They should be stored upright, away from any source of heat or light such as sunlight, a fireplace or a radiator. I would also avoid setting bottles of essences near candles. Basically, if it feels warm or hot to you, it will feel that way for the essences as well. For the record, and this is also on our Essence Faq page but I do feel it bears repeating here, if you drop the dropper top or touch it to any portion of your mouth, you need to wash the dropper thoroughly in hot, soapy water before replacing it in the bottle. Not doing so can result in contamination and of course we are not responsible for essences that are contaminated through improper storage or handling on the part of the customer. We will only offer a replacement or credit, at our discretion, if the bottle in question is returned to us *PLEASE email me first before shipping a bottle back to us* with the original safety seal and labeling intact, and if it has been thirty days or less since the essence was shipped and
