CBD storage

The key to long-term healing power

As with most alternative medicine products, the storage of cannabidiol is crucial to maintaining the effectiveness and quality of this processed wonder weapon. To help you benefit from the healing power of the product for even longer in the future, you can find valuable background knowledge on the correct storage of different types of CBD and how to get the best out of the active ingredient here.

Why is the storage of CBD of great importance?

CBD is a cannabinoid that is sensitive to light, heat, oxygen and moisture. If CBD oil is not stored properly, the ingredients can deteriorate, which has a negative impact on the effectiveness of cannabidiol. If you are investing in high-quality CBD, you should therefore not compromise its healing power by storing it incorrectly and instead focus on the optimal storage for your product.

The ideal environment for CBD oils

CBD oil should be protected from direct sunlight, as light can weaken the effectiveness of the cannabinoids it contains. Keep CBD bottles in a dark place, such as a cupboard or drawer. They are filled in dark glass bottles for a reason!

Heat can also negatively affect CBD oil and shorten its shelf life. Therefore, store it in a cool place, away from heat sources such as ovens or heaters. You should also always seal your container airtight. Oxygen can lead to oxidation of the ingredients in CBD oil. Therefore, use sealed containers to minimize contact with air.

Moisture can also lead to a change in the consistency and effectiveness of CBD oil. It is best to keep the oil away from places where there is high humidity, such as the bathroom. It is best to store it in a pharmacy cabinet that also has an airtight seal. When buying CBD oil, look for high-quality, airtight packaging to guarantee the best storage for your product.

The best tips for storing CBD oil

Have you ever put your CBD oil in the fridge? If not, now is the time to do so. Storing CBD oil in the fridge can be a good option, especially in summer or if you live in a place with a tropical climate. Be aware that the oil can thicken at low temperatures, similar to olive oil. It is best to allow the CBD oil to reach room temperature before use so that it can develop its optimal potency.

It is normal for the ingredients in CBD oil to settle over time. Do not shake the bottle to remix the substances, as this will degrade the quality. Instead, gently roll the bottle between your hands to carefully distribute the ingredients. Finally, regularly check the expiry date on the packaging and the condition of the CBD oil. If there is a change in color, smell or consistency, it may no longer be effective and you should get a new oil.

Actual shelf life of CBD oil

The shelf life of CBD oil can vary, depending on factors such as the quality of the oil, storage and expiry date. As a rule, high-quality CBD oil retains its potency and quality for around one to two years. But don't worry, CBD oil usually works for some time after the expiration date if you store it properly! In most cases, however, you will have used it up by then anyway and should opt for a new, high-quality oil with full potency.

Correct storage of different types of CBD

It's not just CBD oil that you should store correctly so that you can enjoy the quality of the product for a long time. There are other types, such as CBD flowers or so-called prerolled CBD joints, which also require your attention when it comes to the correct storage of the products.

To minimize contact with oxygen, store the prerolled CBD joint in an airtight container. A small glass container or a metal can with a screw cap is ideal for this. Make sure that the container is large enough not to crush the joint. High-quality products are usually supplied in such a container. Pre-rolled CBD joints are perishable and can lose their freshness and potency over time. For an optimal taste experience, you should consume your joint promptly. Proper storage of CBD flowers is also crucial to preserve their freshness, potency and flavor. Place the CBD flowers in an airtight glass container or vacuum pack to prevent the product from oxidizing. Store the container in a protected, darkened room to prevent mold and fungus from forming in the first place. Light-proof jars or opaque containers are best to protect the CBD flowers from the harmful effects of UV rays.

A tip: Avoid storing in plastic containers, as such containers can generate static charges that could damage the trichomes (the resinous glands on the flowers).

Benefit from quality for a long time with proper storage of CBD products

The proper storage of CBD products is fundamental to maintaining their quality, texture and potency. If you are using CBD to achieve specific health benefits, your primary goal should be to maximize the full effects of the product. By following these helpful and simple storage tips, you can ensure that your CBD oil, CBD flowers or CBD joints remain as fresh and effective as possible.
