I'm currently in a humid country with room temperature of about 28deg celsius. Could you advise on the following? - Solubiliser - Cocoa Butter - Flavouring (Peach Butterscotch etc) - Plantaserv Q - Vitamin E - Grapeseed Extract - Floral Waters (Chamomile, Rose, Lavender & Orange) - Carrier Oils (Jojoba, Almond Sweet) I was told that Avocado and Evening Primrose oils go rancid really fast. How fast is fast and will i help if i were to refridgerate them? Appreciate your help! Audrey Audrey Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2006 9:47 PM   Hi Audrey, definitely put everything in the fridge! I do and its not that humid here (yet). It will just extend their shelf life anyway. Michelle Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2006 11:00 AM   Hi Audrey, Refrigerating your products will not necessarily extend the shelf life but it will preserve the properties of the products. Avocado carrier oil is very stable and has a long shelf life. The expiry date should always be displayed on the bottle, but 9 months is the average shelf life. Always be guided by the expiry date on the bottle. Evening primrose oil has a short shelf life, 3 to 6 months, I would suggest ordering as needed. It is a delicate carrier oil and best added to cold creams and not heated. Adding natural vitamin E oil to your carrier oils will prevent them from going rancid. Good luck with it all.

Didn't know that about evening prim oil. I know now. Glad that I can help, many people are helping me to establish my business and I am only happy to pass on whatever I learn.
