How to Use

Shelf Life
Approximately 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Note: This recipe is completely anhydrous (contains no water), so a preservative is not required. However, always use clean, dry hands or a spatula to prevent water from entering the jar. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant to help slow the oxidation of the oils, but it is not a preservative.
