In recent years, CBD (Cannabidiol) products have become more diverse and accessible. However, most high-quality products - especially CBD oils - still come with a high price tag, so most consumers want to ensure they will make the most of their purchase. One concern is how to prevent the oil from lasting longer and taking longer to spoil.
Why does CBD oil spoil?
Over time, the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids within CBD oil will begin to degrade. Although it is unlikely that once degraded they become toxic or harmful, they can lose their potency. This means that the strength and therefore the effectiveness of your product can also degrade over time.

To ensure your money is well spent, you probably want to delay this process as much as possible.
Although CBD oil itself may not be harmful, the 'carrier' oil (usually hemp, coconut, or olive oil) may also have spoiled. When this happens, these oils have the potential to carry fungi and bacteria. Therefore, it is worth making sure you consume the CBD oil before the expiration date.
Check the label
All products should have some indication of the expiration date, either on the bottle itself or on the box it was shipped in. However, remember that these dates generally refer to the product in a sealed bottle. Once the seal is broken, the product degradation rate will increase. Bottles and boxes can also provide guidance on how long an oil will remain at its maximum quality after being opened.
Store smartly
Although product degradation will start at some point, you should be able to delay it to some extent. Keeping CBD oil in a sealed, airtight bag will help keep bacteria away and the oil fresh. Storing the oil in the refrigerator will also help keep it fresh, as cold temperatures slow down bacteria growth.
