Info about YL oils

Can your Young Living essential oils EXPIRE?

Someone had asked about the lifespan of an essential oil bottle, and here is my answer:

Some oils, like Frankincense, have no expiry date. There is NO expiry date for any essential oil that is steam distilled and has NO carrier oil added.

Other blends, to name a few, that do NOT have added carrier oil are Thieves, Sacred Mountain and Purification.

Please note that Citrus oils are NOT steam distilled. They are cold pressed from the rind of the fruit. They can actually EVAPORATE through the plastic top of the unopened bottle in 2-3 years. Blends that contain citrus oils may decrease in volume because of this.

Vegetable oils, added as carrier oils, can become rancid. Blends that contain carrier oil would be the ones affected over time. However, many Young Living blends now have FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL rather than nut oils (because of potential allergies) as carriers. Fractionated coconut oil is coconut oil that is then steam distilled. It would have no expiry.

It would also greatly depend on how the oils are stored in the first place.
