Does Orange Blossom Water Expire?
Asked by
Wandering_Thoughts
I use orange blossom water for a foot rinse and recently found something floating in the bottle that looks like a kombucha 'mother' or a dried apricot. Is this safe to use, or should I dispose of it? Additionally, should I wait until after the eclipse season to dump it?

Water mixtures can spoil without preservatives. If you’re making your own blends, remember to balance it with isopropyl alcohol for better longevity. Less alcohol means higher chances of spoilage.

Oranges can symbolize wealth in various cultures. If you’re concerned about disposing of it during the new year, you might wait until after the eclipse season to toss it. But if you're just getting rid of it, that should be okay too. Trust your gut!

Yes, orange blossom water can go bad, especially if bacteria gets into the bottle. It's probably best not to use anything that's spoiled. Just discard it right away and don’t worry about waiting. Using bad stuff in your rituals isn't safe or respectful.

I've heard that sometimes these mixtures can grow strange things in them. If you're not sure about the safety, it might just be easier to toss it and make a fresh batch!
