However, you still need to be mindful about storing your CBD oil properly to prevent it from becoming cloudy.  As with any other perishable product, there are basic steps you should take to extend the shelf life of your CBD oil. In this article, we will be looking at some practices you can follow to store your CBD safely, and go over how long CBD will stay good for.

Does CBD Oil Expire?

Yes, CBD oil (also known as hemp oil) will expire. The good news is, most high-quality CBD oils will stay good for about 1.5 to 2 years if you store them properly. Storing CBD oil products is not hard to do, thankfully.

How to Store CBD Oil

For those of you who don’t already know, I am a military veteran.  The military is great at creating acronyms to help people remember information better. For the purpose of storing CBD oil, I’ve come up with a useful acronym of my own: H.A.L.T., which stands for heat, air, light, and time.

These are the four factors that directly influence how long your CBD oil products will stay good for. Most CBD shops aren’t exactly cheap, so making sure you get the most bang for your buck goes a long way in the CBD world.

Heat

There really isn’t much to mention about heat besides the obvious. Excess exposure to heat isn’t good for your CBD oil — or any other perishable wellness product, for that matter. If you can, store your CBD in an area that is about room temperature.

Air

It is one thing to avoid heat and sunlight and another to prevent air exposure. After all, air is everywhere.

Storing CBD in a Cold Environment

Refrigerating CBD oil helps prolong its shelf life. While the fridge is a possible storage solution for CBD oil, keep in mind that any method of storing CBD oil has its pros and cons.

For instance, refrigeration can result in the thickening of the oil due to the cold. This can make extracting your CBD oil with the dropper harder. To fix this problem, you can run the bottle under hot water for a few seconds.

One thing you don’t want to do is freeze your CBD. This can cause the oil to thicken and become cloudy.

Keeping CBD Products at Room Temperature

If you prefer to keep your CBD oil at room temperature, you’ll need to pick a place that’s dark and away from heat. At New Phase Blends, we recommend storing our oils at a room temperature of around 70°F (21°C). Prolonged exposure to higher temperatures will lead to the deterioration of the cannabinoids and terpenes in the oil.

Light

Avoid keeping your CBD oil in places exposed to direct sunlight, such as windowsills, countertops, and high shelves. It’s also a good idea to avoid storing your CBD in places with artificial sources of heat, such as shelves with constant lighting.

Time

If you store your CBD oil properly, you can expect it to reach a shelf life of up to two years. This time factor, obviously, cannot be avoided. However, the shelf life of your CBD can be maximized if you follow the CBD storage tips in this guide.

Aside from proper storage, the total life span of a CBD product will depend on the manufacturing process and ingredients involved.

How Long Does CBD Oil Stay Good For?

If you follow the steps in our guide to storing CBD, your CBD oil will stay good for a long time. I can’t vouch for other companies, but you can expect your CBD oil to have a shelf life of about 1.5 to 2 years if you buy CBD World Mall products.

Does CBD Oil Expire?

CBD oil does go bad. Some people claim CBD oil doesn’t go bad, and this is not true – at all. While the actual cannabinoid, CBD or cannabidiol, might seem to not go bad, the other ingredients within the CBD oil will. Most companies use some form of a carrier oil like MCT oil, or hemp seed oil, and these oils will go bad. Any flavorings used will probably also go bad, eventually.

How to Tell If CBD Oil Is Bad?

It’s pretty straightforward when it comes to telling if CBD has gone bad, or not. Like any other perishable good, if the CBD oil went bad, it would be discolored, smell differently, and even have a bad taste to it. Some people report that their CBD tincture will become cloudy, instead of clear colored.

So, there you have it. Keep the acronym H.A.L.T. in mind when storing your CBD oil and other CBD products like balms, creams, and edibles. Again, that’s:
