Storage Recommendations

[BangkokSomerset]

I live in a hot, humid, tropical climate. Should I store my bottles in the refrigerator? Or are they fine out at room temperature (quite warm, mid 80s most of the time and humid too). Any advice would be much appreciated!

Mones are pretty resiliant, so temp is less of a problem than you might expect - Cool helps but you don’t need to refrigerate them.

However, at that temp, evaporation may be an issue, esp from togos, so I would tend to store them in a sealed airtight container.

And dark storage is important - Light more than heat will do for your pheros, so always store in the dark.

Hey there!
I’m actually in the opposite end here in Michigan, stateside. We get pretty cold winters and I was wondering if the shipping in the cold weather affects them? Also what about storing them in my car in the armrest? Will the cold damage them?

But not to scare people from Androtics’ 30ml bottles, the blue does a LOT to help with the light issue.

I’d still tend to keep the bottles in dark/dim conditions - Not least because some putatives in 30ml can last you a very long time and because the conditions tend to be more stable overall, which offsets any potential evaporation issues.

My 30mls also get sealed in airtight storage containers to help further.

No great problems with cold but sometimes the liquids can become cloudy and maybe separate in the most extreme conditions. You do need to watch that. Oils are probably worse for this and will become more viscous, which leads to dropping/dosing problems.

Also remember that phero use in cold conditions can be very ineffective. Diffusion can slow significantly as it cools and below freezing it drops to next to nothing, unless you are being so active that you are generating enough body heat to forcefully project the pheros off your skin. Look to indoor environments instead.

Thanks! That helps. I’m actually trying to keep these out of visibility in my house. I’m trying to observe the reactions I get when wearing them, without anyone knowing I’m wearing them, so I figured the car would do for now lol
