## Q&A on Essential Oils.
1. **Do essential oils need to be in dark bottles?**.

- Yes, essential oils should be stored in dark bottles to protect them from light exposure.
2. **Why do essential oils need to be in dark bottles?**.
- Essential oils are sensitive to light and can become less potent or even go rancid when exposed to sunlight or artificial light sources. Dark bottles, such as amber or cobalt blue glass, help to protect the oils from light degradation.
3. **What happens if essential oils are exposed to light?**.
- When exposed to light, essential oils can undergo a process called oxidation, which can change the chemical composition of the oils and make them less effective. This can lead to the oils losing their therapeutic properties and potentially causing skin irritation or other negative reactions.
4. **Are all essential oils affected by light exposure?**.
- While all essential oils can be affected by light exposure to some extent, some oils are more prone to degradation than others. Citrus oils, such as lemon or bergamot, are particularly sensitive to light and should always be stored in dark bottles.
5. **How should essential oils be stored to protect them from light?**.
- Essential oils should be kept in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. It's best to store them in dark-colored glass bottles and to keep the bottles tightly sealed when not in use. Avoid storing essential oils near windows or in areas where they will be exposed to light for extended periods of time.
By following these storage guidelines and using dark bottles, you can help preserve the quality and effectiveness of your essential oils for longer periods of time.
