My CBD oil has turned pink, Is there something wrong with it?

MCT colour changes

CBD in any form has to be stored in dark place and avoid direct sunlight, this is one of the reasons why we always use the dark brown bottles as standard and advise to keep it refrigerated.  

When CBD Oil turns pink, the pink hue is a natural result of an enzyme in MCT called “Polyphenol Oxidase” reacting to light and oxygen exposure. This reaction does not alter your CBD Oil, it simply means the MCT Oil used in your CBD product is of the highest quality.

CBD Oil turns pink when the Polyphenol Oxidase enzyme in MCT Oil is exposed to light and oxygen. It is 100% safe to use.

If you’re clients are unhappy with the pink color, you can slow down the oxidation process by storing your CBD oil in the box or even in the fridge. While this isn’t necessary to maintain its shelf life, nor does the pink color mean the oil is bad.
