Good compounding resource

Not sure I understand, what would vacuum seal do different ? Than put them in the home freezer in some type of oil vial case …

For storing for a few years, it does make a difference.

And I want someone to say it's okay just in the essential oil case in the freezer! Because it's ridiculous what I'm doing! I've definitely read that many just toss the plastic case it comes in, and even the paper cases, as they are, into the freezer!

It's ok to just put the essential oil case in the freezer

At least that's what I'm doing. I put a label on each vial when I get them with source, date, fill, pep name, etc and I have a separate case for each product. Right now, I am only using two but each case has a single letter on it (S) or (T) to denote what is inside. I did put a tiny ice pack in there but considering the thermal mass of everything else in the freezer, this is probably unnecessary.

If you got room, I would put a couple frozen water bottles in the freezer as a whole. Not much has as much thermal mass as water.

I assume the fear is loss of vacuum in the vials over time causing moisture intrusion?

In case some of us need label ideas :

Exactly yes
