How to store cypress essential oil:

Essential oils have a certain preservative quality and also an antibacterial ability. Essential oils are extremely volatile; if left directly in the air or exposed to sunlight, they will evaporate quickly. 
Generally, when storing essential oils, they must be kept in a dry, cool place. At the same time, essential oils also have the property of being insoluble in water; they can only dissolve in pure alcohol, fats or oily liquids. It is best to put all prepared massage oils into opaque glass containers, then store them in a cool, well-ventilated place. 
Do not put essential oils in plastic containers, because essential oils will undergo chemical reactions in plastic containers, causing the essential oil to deteriorate. 
In addition, the caps of essential oil bottles must be tightly closed, and if possible, prepare a fine wooden box to store essential oils. Different essential oils are stored in different ways. Storage of essential oils and carrier oils: store plant essential oils and carrier oils in opaque glass bottles, away from light and heat. Direct light and high temperatures will affect the quality of plant essential oils and carrier oils. The most sensitive are lemon oil and European juniper oil; these two oils can be kept for about one year in a sealed bottle. To ensure the essential oil quality remains unchanged, they can be placed in the refrigerator for cold storage. Peppermint oil, fennel oil, and essential oils extracted from plant xylem and flowers are fairly stable and not prone to deterioration. Some essential oils have characteristics similar to wine, that is, the longer they are stored, the better the oil quality. Such oils include sandalwood oil, rose and jasmine oil. Usually, unopened carrier oil can be kept for more than two years. But once opened, air will enter and cause oxidation, causing the oil to deteriorate. A way to delay deterioration is to add wheat germ oil or vitamin E capsules to the carrier oil. Carrier oils basically have almost no smell apart from a possible slight nutty taste. If expired carrier oil develops an obvious odor, it can easily be smelled. Usually, unused carrier oil can be sealed and stored in the refrigerator, which can slow down its oxidation.
