How To Store HHC Tinctures Properly and Effectively

HHC tinctures are an excellent choice for someone who wants something in between the long-lasting effects of edibles and the potent effects of vapes.  HHC tinctures can give you that soothing yet euphoric high that you crave, but only if the product is fresh, both when you buy it and while you’re storing it.  Yes, poor storage practices can lead to an ineffective product that’s going to cause a lot of disappointment.

Do HHC Tinctures Go Bad?

HHC tinctures are made with organic plant compounds, and so they do expire after a certain point.  Generally, hemp extracts have a shelf life of about 2 years as long as they’re being stored properly.  After that point, the hexahydrocannabinol degrades until it’s lost all of its potency and is no longer effective.  While it won’t become dangerous to consume, it will disappoint you since the HHC won’t be able to get you high. 

However, at the end of the day, if you don’t store your product properly, then it can expire prematurely.  How quickly it expires depends on just how badly it was stored.  To know if your product has expired, there are a few things that you can look for.  

1. Check to see if the color, texture, or aroma are different from how they were when you first purchased the product. 
2.  Another more obvious giveaway is that the product is no longer giving you the same effects, which would mean that the hexahydrocannabinol in the product has degraded due to age.  
3. If your product is expired, then it’s time to throw it out and replace it.

How to Keep That HHC Tincture Fresh 

Obviously, we all want fresh and effective HHC tinctures.  The good news is that it’s actually really easy to keep them fresh, when you just follow these tips below.

Tip #1: Dark, Dry, and Cool is the Way to Go 

All hemp HHC products require storage in a dark, cool, and dry place.  Light, humidity and heat all cause the compounds in the product to break down prematurely.  Don’t leave your tincture next to a sunny window, or in the bathroom, where the humidity can change throughout the day due to the steam of your shower.  Find a cabinet, drawer, or closet instead.

Tip #2: An Airtight Seal is Critical

One of the fastest ways to ruin your tincture is to leave it exposed to oxygen.  Always make sure that you screw the cap tightly onto your tincture bottle when you’re not using it.  Otherwise, oxygen will quickly damage the HHC and break it down until it’s completely useless.  Should your cap get damaged in any way, transfer your tincture into a new bottle, or keep it in some type of airtight container.

Tip #3: Keep Your HHC Indoors  

Never, ever leave a HHC tincture bottle outdoors.  That includes your car, a shed, or detached garage.  The outside environment is not climate-controlled, and drastic changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight can all negatively alter your tincture formula quickly.  Just leaving a bottle in the sun on a hot day for several hours can cause the HHC to weaken.  In general, always keep those bottles inside.

Tip #3: Don’t Buy More Than You Need 

While this doesn’t really pertain to storage, it’s equally important if you want to always have fresh HHC on hand.  If your favorite brand is holding a sale, you might want to stock up on tons of tincture bottles while the price is low.  But, this can mean that you end up with a lot more of the cannabinoid than you’ll actually get through within a realistic period of time, causing a good chunk of that product to expire before you get a chance to actually enjoy it.

A Little Extra Info For You When Buying Fresh HHC Tinctures

Besides making a point to store your HHC product properly, you also need to pay attention to who you’re buying it from, due to some companies sell poorly made formulas, or products that are close to expiring, and so it doesn’t matter how well you store them since they’re already well on their way to losing their effectiveness.

Find a company with a solid reputation, as they’re more likely to have a high HHC product turnover rate which means that their products are never sitting in the warehouse for too long.  Also, make sure that they use clean extraction methods and exceptional ingredients, as both of these aspects preserve the stability of the cannabinoid itself, as well as the other ingredients.  

At Binoid, all of our hemp products are made using the best methods and ingredients, and our product turnover rate is very high so that products are always sold fresh.

Take Care of Your HHC Tinctures to Feel Satisfied with Each Dropper

HHC tinctures, like all hemp products, will degrade over time, and will degrade much faster if you’re not storing them carefully.  That’s why it’s always critical that you keep those tincture bottles in a dark, dry and cool area of your home, always making sure that the lid is screwed on tight.  It’s just as important to buy your tinctures from a company known for selling nothing but highly fresh, top-quality HHC formulas.
