If there’s one thing that we know about being a CBD
enthusiast, it’s that you have to take the right amount of time to make sure
that what you’re buying is high in quality, free of impurities and made using a
reputable extraction method. But, once
you buy that CBD product for daily use, there’s something else that you have to
think about, and it’s how you’re going to store it.
Storage is Key
The way in which you store your CBD can have a lot to
do with how much you get out of it. CBD
that’s been created using high-quality practices is relatively stable
chemically speaking, but there are some major mistake you can make when storing
it that can render it useless due to a decrease in potency.
Improper storage can cause the compounds to break down
prematurely, which means that you won’t be getting the hemp experience that you
want. So, how do you prevent this from
happening? Luckily for you, we’ve got
all of the tips that you need.
Tip #1: Cool, Dark Places are the Way to Go
The rule of thumb when it comes to storing CBD is that
cool, dark places are the way to go. CBD
doesn’t like extremes in its environment, such as bright lights or hot
temperatures. Cool and dark places
maintain a consistent environment that keeps the compounds in CBD nice and
stable. Consider a closet, a cabinet or
a drawer in your dresser as ideal spots for storing your hemp goods.
Tip #2: Don’t Leave Your CBD Outside
Like we said, CBD doesn’t like extremes, or drastic
changes. That’s why leaving your CBD
outdoors is never a good idea, regardless of what type of product it is. We know that many hemp enthusiasts like to
keep a topical or a vape in their car so that they don’t have to remember to
bring it with them when they go out for the day. However, your car is exposed to lots of
extreme temperature changes, as well as changes in sun exposure. That’s why it’s better to keep your CBD
indoors at all times.
Tip #3: Only Buy as Much as Needed
No matter how well you store your CBD, if you’re
buying more than you’ll actually use up within a certain period of time, you’re
going to end up with CBD that’s lost its potency. All CBD has a shelf life, and most hemp goods
last for about two years before they break down on a chemical level. So, an important part of storage is knowing
how much to buy for an allotted timeframe, so that you don’t end up wasting it
because you weren’t able to use it before its expiration date arrived.
Tip #4: Keep Your CBD in its Original Packaging
We always suggest keeping your CBD products in their
original packaging, for two reasons. One
is that this allows you to keep track of when you bought the CBD so that you’ll
know when the expiration date is approaching.
The other reason is because CBD is often sold in specific types of
containers that prevent oxidization from occurring prematurely. For instance, some CBD goods are sold in
amber glass bottles that help prevent too much light from entering the formula
and disrupting the compounds.
Tip #5: Don’t Store Your CBD in the Bathroom
We don’t recommend keeping your CBD in a
bathroom. That’s because your bathroom
is prone to extreme changes in temperature and humidity due to regular use of
the shower or bath. This constantly
changing environment can destabilize your hemp products. So, keep your CBD goods in a room that
doesn’t vary much in terms of temperature or humidity so that it can last for a
long time.
Enjoy that Properly Store CBD Product Even More
Storing your CBD properly is crucial if you want to
continue to enjoy your hemp routine on a daily basis. Failing to store your CBD properly can lead
to a rapid reduce in potency which means that your hemp product can no longer
supply you with ample amounts of compounds that you are trying to consume.
