To maintain the quality of sweet almond oil, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. A pantry or cupboard is ideal. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent oxidation and rancidity. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it can extend the shelf life slightly, though the oil may become cloudy; it will return to its normal state at room temperature. Generally, sweet almond oil can last for 1-2 years if stored properly.
