How to Store Your Infused Oils for Potency and Freshness

Once you’ve gone through the infusion process using your CannaFuse Pouch Kit, proper storage is key to maintaining potency, flavor, and cleanliness. Whether you’ve used MCT oil, avocado oil, or infused butter, how you handle your oil after infusion directly impacts shelf life and usability.

This guide walks through best practices for storing infused oils made with the CannaFuse system and highlights the tools that make it easier.

Use the Right Containers

After straining your infusion using the CannaFuse Oil Strainer, transfer the finished oil to a clean, airtight glass container. We recommend:

• A wide-mouth mason jar for bulk storage
• A CannaFuse 50ml Tincture Bottle with a precision dropper for daily use and microdosing

Avoid using plastic or metal containers, as they can affect oil quality over time.

Store in a Cool, Dark, and Dry Environment

Cannabinoids degrade when exposed to light, heat, or air. For short-term storage, keep sealed jars or bottles in:

• A cabinet or pantry, away from direct sunlight
• A drawer or box with stable room temperature
• Amber or cobalt glass containers to help block light

If you infused butter, refrigeration is required. Oil-based infusions don’t need refrigeration, but it will extend shelf life.

Refrigerate or Freeze for Long-Term Storage

If you don’t plan to use your infused oil within a few weeks, store it in the fridge to slow oxidation and preserve potency.

For long-term storage, freeze the oil in portioned amounts using silicone molds or small jars. This prevents exposing the full batch each time you open it. The CannaFuse Silicone Spatula makes it easier to pour into molds without mess.

Label Every Batch

Always label your oil with:

• Infusion date
• Oil type used (e.g., MCT, avocado, butter)
• Strain name or batch ID
• Lecithin added (yes/no)
• Approximate potency if known

Labeling helps track consistency, especially if you're making multiple batches.

Make Cleanup and Storage Easier with CannaFuse

The full CannaFuse Pouch Kit is designed to streamline every step:

• Decarb and infuse in one container with the CannaFuse pouch
• Use the CannaFuse Oil Strainer to filter the oil
• Press the remaining oil out with your CannaFuse Silicone Spatula
• Pour directly into a tincture bottle or mason jar

No mess, no wasted oil, no lost potency.

Zero Waste Tip

Don’t toss the leftover plant material. After straining, transfer it to a ReLeaf Bag and drop it into a hot bath. You’ll still get the benefits of residual terpenes and aromatics—perfect for a relaxing soak.
