An almond oil question...

[Guest guest]

What exactly happens when almond oil goes rancid? Does it just smell

bad, or does it have adverse effects on hair and skin?

 

I've got a bottle that is old and I'm sure it's gone rancid by now

(even though it's been in the fridge) but it's rather a full bottle

and if I CAN use it, for oil treatments on my hair and such, I'd like

to use it up rather than throwing it out...

 

Thanks!

Hi Kat

Well, what does it smell like? - if it's rancid you won't like the smell and

would have a job hiding it! and would you eat it? I wouldn't eat something

that's gone off, so wouldn't want to put it on my skin or hair either!! Might

be good for oiling something mechanical or using to soak nuts and bolts that

won't come undone!!

Just my thoughts

When I have oils that are getting to old to use, I put in in a container of sand

to use for

garden tools.

Do keep most of mine in refrigerators to extend shelf life. But if its there to

long I sure

don't want to use it.

It means what you said--it smells. Oil oxidizes, I think. It would be nice

to know how to remove the oxidized stuff. Any ideas?
