36-month shelf life from production date in sealed aluminium/amber glass at 10-30°C, away from light and moisture; oxidation-resistant but keep headspace minimal; thickening at low temperature is reversible by gentle warming.
Soluble in ethanol (1:10 clear in 90% ethanol per ISO 3757) and fixed oils; insoluble in water and poorly in glycerin; denser than water at 0.955-0.985 so the oil phase sinks and separates.
