    question about oils - storage

    I have just received some oils which were transferred into air tight plastic bottles (10 ml per bottle) , for obvious reasons as to where I live.

    Anyway my question is should I transfer the oil into glass vials or just leave in the plastic sealed bottles stored until I use it then transfer them one at a time as I use them.

    The oils will l be used within the next few months.

    Cheers

    If its an airtight seal as a vial would be its probably fine. You'll have to still transfer it to a bottle with a stopper so you can use it eventually so why not do it now? I'd sterilize it once in proper vials too.

    'a friend of mine' used to put oils from ampules into sterile saline solution bottles to bring it back from mexico a long long time ago. According to my friend, the border agents didn't think anything of an eye solution in the car for contact lenses. He'd bottle it and sterilize it after he got home.
