Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 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! -Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 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 Ann - Scotland - What exactly happens when almond oil goes rancid? Does it just smell bad, or does it have adverse effects on hair and skin?

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. HTH's Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 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?
