How to Store CBD: Maximizing Potency and Shelf Life
Nov 17, 2024
Proper storage of CBD products is essential to maintain their potency and effectiveness. At UnCanna, we prioritize quality from farm to bottle—and we want you to get the most out of every drop.
Key Storage Tips
-
Avoid Heat and Light:
- Why: Heat and UV light degrade CBD and other cannabinoids over time.
- How: Store in a cool, dark place like a pantry or drawer.
-
Seal Tightly:
- Why: Exposure to air can oxidize CBD, reducing its effectiveness.
- How: Always close the lid tightly after use.
-
Check Expiration Dates:
- Why: Most CBD products have a shelf life of 1–2 years.
- How: Use products before they expire to ensure maximum potency.
Best Practices by Product Type
- Oils: Keep in their original amber or dark glass bottles to block light.
- Capsules: Store in a dry, sealed container.
- Topicals: Ensure lids are secure to prevent contamination.
