Keep it in a dark place and a cool place. Make sure to use a Q-tip to scoop it out and not your fingers to keep body oils and bacteria etc.. from getting into it. The Vit. E is not a necessary part of the salve, but it does help to preserve it. So does using fresh, raw, unfiltered beeswax. That is a great preservative in itself. I haven't made the salve yet..I am letting the plants really steep in. Though it is inside now at room temperature.
