5. what is the formulation shelf life?
Plant extracts are known to be much better preserved when ethanol is used in the formulating process, rather than simply drying herbs (particularly if powdered).
In a dispensary, dried herbs are considered to lose efficacy at around 6 months, but for ethanol and water extracts (similar to what we use) the shelf life can be up to several years.
We are currently in the process of stabilisation testing at the sofi labs, so an exact duration for the shelf life of each of our formulations will be coming soon! Until then, it’s safe to assume at minimal between 3-6 months. You’ll notice that our packaging is reflective of this by stating “use within 3 months of receipt” - but that’s not to say that a longer shelf life is not likely.
