A few weeks ago I found the perfect spot for my collection of oils, well I thought it was the perfect spot. Today when I went to check inventory all my bottles were fine they are sealed except for three, everyone was fine except for my bottle of cucumber aloe that is. Fall apple fine, tea tree fine but the cucumber has changed color and seems thick. I don't know if it somehow got cold but why didn't it happen to any of the other open bottles? I was just about to order my Cranberry mint and now I'm unsure. The cucumber is just as old as all the others. Now I'm worried about the bottles of POM I have still boxed and really didn't want to open them. All my oils except the boxed ones I stashed in my vanity in the basement and it is heated down there so I really don't know what to make of it.

Beaches, I don't know how cold your CA oil got but it sounds similar to a LAV oil that was shipped to me in November and sat on my porch that afternoon. It was thick and yellow when it arrived. I presumed it was old stock and had gone bad. The next day I was going to call customer service about it, but it had changed to the normal color and consistency after being inside overnight. I hope yours returns to how should be

Thanks I remember reading about your Lav and it was the first thing that came to mind. I'm heading down in a little bit and I'll bring it up and hope I get the same results.

Any chance they are in sunlight? That might change the color. Hope it's something simple. WEN oils are liquid gold!

No, no sunlight in a closed drawer in a dark room. I know about it being liquid gold and I'm so luck I've been able to make a nice collection. I hope it will be okay, I'll keep you posted.

Just following up with you girls, I brought the oil up and let it sit for awhile. It still looked heavy or clouded so I broke the seal and it looks okay in the dropper. It's still a mystery why it only happened to this one. I'm going ahead with the WCM purchase anyhow.

Beachy, I had that happen too with the bigger size Fig I bought. I'd used it about 3/4 of the way, and one day noticed it looked a bit thick and cloudy--kinda not the same color as it had been. I had that happen too with the remains of a bottle of LAV too... They smelled fine so I've been using them no problem...I don't now that color is a good indicator of if it's gone bad or not... I do know when they go bad, they get an unforgettable funky smell I had that happen with a bottle of WVM I bought off the Bay...It looked ok, but it had the beginnings of that funky rancid smell. I called Chaz's CS and the codes on the bottle said it had another year of life left in it...but it smelled funky so I threw it out.

I'd just go by what your nose thinks lol...if it smells ok still, it should be fine.

Thanks Cm. it seems fine today. I'm concerned that maybe it isn't a good idea to keep too much on hand though. Chaz says two year shelf life but we don't really know when it was produced and how long it could have been sitting. I have a nice collection of 4 oz now and planned on purchasing new ones to replace The ones I use. How many do you "stock" and what our your thoughts. Thanks

Beaches, it sounds like it went rancid. That happens with oils, regardless of the expiration date. You should get a replacement.

Thanks Honny it looks clear today and smells good I'm just mad I broke the seal. Oh well it maybe time to change over to it and my SMC so I can make some room for new. Lol
