The Best Containers for Your Apothecary and Natural Home Remedy Needs

When it comes to which containers we use to store our natural ingredients in, it can make all the difference in the world actually. The last thing we want to do is to store our precious natural medicinal ingredients in toxic chemical laddened containers, but we do want a nice air tight seal to lock in the freshness and preserve the product. Glass is always the best choice as it does not leak toxins into our products, the products do not leak into the glass and they’re easy to clean. However, if plastic is used it should be BPA-free or you may opt for silicone based containers.

Most natural ingredients are best stored in darker glass such as those labeled as “amber”, “cobalt blue”, or “ultraviolet glass”, in order to keep as much light away from the products since light can destroy many of the health benefits locked within. This is particularly true of herbs and spices as well as essential oils and carrier oils. If you go through your products pretty quickly, it’s not as big of a concern, but utilizing darker bottles and other containers is always a good idea whenever possible. Either way, whether the container is clear or dark, it is also a good idea to store them in a cool dark place or in the refrigerator if necessary.
