Hey everyone! Today, I want to clear up some confusion that one of our customers, Susan, brought to our attention regarding ozonated oils and their stability at different temperatures. It\u2019s an important topic, so let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off, a big thanks to Susan for reaching out with her concerns. It\u2019s always great to hear from our customers, especially when it gives us a chance to explain some of the science behind our products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, let\u2019s talk about ozone and temperature. Susan mentioned some temperature guidelines and half-life information that she found on our site. These details are spot on\u2014but they\u2019re all about gaseous ozone<\/em>, not the ozonated oils we bottle and ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what\u2019s the difference? Well, gaseous ozone is a bit of a delicate creature. It breaks down pretty quickly at room temperature, especially when dissolved in water. That\u2019s why you see those short half-life times in the table Susan referenced. But when ozone is bubbled through oil, it undergoes a fascinating transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When ozone meets oil, it doesn\u2019t just hang around as gas. Instead, it reacts with the oil\u2019s fatty acids to form new compounds called ozonides (plus a few peroxides for good measure). These ozonides are the stars of the show! They retain all the good stuff ozone is known for\u2014like its antimicrobial and oxygenating powers\u2014but in a much more stable form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the cool part: these ozonides are tough! They can handle higher temperatures without losing their effectiveness. So, if your oils arrived a little warm, don\u2019t worry\u2014they\u2019re still just as potent as ever. And if they\u2019re in a liquid state and you prefer a more solid consistency, just pop them in the fridge, and they\u2019ll firm up nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, to sum it up: ozonated oils are stable, effective, and not as temperature-sensitive as ozone gas. They\u2019re designed to keep delivering the benefits of ozone without breaking down in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks again, Susan, for bringing this to our attention! We\u2019re always here to help clear up any confusion and ensure you\u2019re getting the best out of your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay tuned for more insights and tips, and as always, feel free to reach out with any questions. Happy ozonating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hey everyone!
