Do You Need to Refrigerate Botanical Scalp Products?

The Appeal of Cold Storage

With the rising popularity of skincare fridges, it is common to wonder if botanical formulas like the No01 Anchoring Mist or the No02 Flourishing Elixir need to be kept cold. While a chilled mist might feel refreshing on a hot day, refrigeration is not required for our products.

Follow the Label: Room Temperature

The standard storage guidance for both No01 and No02 is straightforward: store them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. The primary goal is simply to keep the glass bottles away from extreme environments. You should avoid leaving them on a windowsill under direct sunlight, next to a heating vent, or inside a hot car during the summer.

The Impact of Cold on Oils

Placing the No02 Flourishing Elixir in a refrigerator can actually alter your application experience. No02 is formulated with a natural grapeseed oil base. When plant oils are exposed to cold temperatures, they can thicken or become cloudy. If the texture changes, do not assume that extra chilling improves the product. Follow the storage instructions on your bottle.

The Best Place in Your Home

The most practical place to store your scalp care is exactly where you will use it—such as a bedroom vanity or a dedicated shelf outside of a highly humid, shared bathroom. Keeping the bottles at a stable room temperature avoids adding an unnecessary chilled-storage step to your routine.
