How Should I Store SKïP CBD Cans? Shelf Life, Temperature and Best-Before Basics

There are two types of people when a box of drinks arrives.

The first somehow finds enough fridge space for all 12 cans.

The second puts most of them in a cupboard and moves a few into the fridge whenever supplies start running low.

Both can work perfectly well with SKïP.

Our cans do not need to live permanently in the fridge.

Keep unopened cans somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, and then get them properly chilled before you fancy one.

• That might mean a kitchen cupboard.

• A pantry.

• Or the drinks cupboard that seems to appear whenever people start buying cans by the case.

There are a few things worth knowing about shelf life, sunlight and best-before dates, though.

So here is the simple version.

5 Key Takeaways

• Unopened SKïP cans can be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• SKïP can be stored for up to 18 months, but always check the best-before date on your individual can.

• You do not need to keep unopened cans permanently refrigerated.

• Keep cans away from direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to warmer storage conditions.

• We think SKïP tastes best properly chilled.

How Should I Store SKïP CBD Cans?

Keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.

That is the main bit. You do not need a special CBD cupboard.

A kitchen cupboard, pantry or somewhere you already keep unopened drinks can work well, provided it stays cool, dry and away from sunlight.

That sunny windowsill may look nice. It is not where we would keep a box of SKïP.

If you have space, put a few cans in the fridge so there is always one cold when you want it.

The rest can stay somewhere cool and dry until you need them.

Then move the next few into the fridge as your cold supply starts disappearing.

How Long Do Unopened SKïP Cans Last?

SKïP can happily be stored for up to around 18 months.

That makes buying a box fairly easy because you do not need to get through every can immediately.

But the useful date is still the one printed on the individual can.

Check the best-before date rather than working backwards from when you remember ordering it.

If you regularly have a few boxes around, it is worth keeping an eye on which cans have the earlier dates.

Put those towards the front. Then you avoid finding one lonely Peach & Ginger at the back six months later.

Does SKïP Need to Be Refrigerated?

Not while the can is unopened.

SKïP can be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

We do think it is best enjoyed properly chilled, though.

We think all three CBD flavours are at their best cold, whether you drink them straight from the can or pour them over ice.

So refrigeration is more about getting the drink ready for when you fancy it.

You do not need to give every can permanent fridge space.

Can Heat or Sunlight Affect Cold-Pressed CBD?

There is a reason we recommend keeping the cans somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight.

Research into CBD stability suggests that things such as light and temperature can affect CBD over time.

Different CBD products and formulations may react in different ways, so it is best to follow the storage guidance on the can.

At SKïP, we would always recommend storing your drinks in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight, then getting them nice and cold when it is time to enjoy one!

Can I Chill SKïP and Put It Back in the Cupboard?

If an unopened can has been chilled and you need the fridge space, return it to a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and follow the storage information on the can.

For everyday storage, there is no need to make it complicated.

Cupboard until you need it. Fridge before you drink it.

Where Can I Find the Best-Before Date?

Check the individual can.

The best-before date may vary, but you can usually find it printed on the bottom of your SKïP can or clearly marked elsewhere.

That is the date that applies to the drink you actually have, so it is more useful than trying to calculate shelf life from the day you bought it.

For SKïP, the important thing is simple.

Check the date printed on your individual can and follow the storage information that goes with it.

Storage Should Be the Easy Bit

Storage does not need to be complicated.

Keep unopened SKïP cans somewhere cool and dry.

Keep them out of direct sunlight.

Check the best-before date.

And put a few in the fridge before you want them.

Then you’re finally left with the harder decision!

Lemon & Basil, Elderflower & Mint or Peach & Ginger?

FAQs

Do I Need to Put a Whole Box of SKïP in the Fridge?

No. Unopened cans can be stored somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. Keep a few in the fridge so they are cold when you want one, then replace them as you drink them.

Should I Store CBD and Lion's Mane Cans Differently?

You do not need to create separate cupboards for them. Follow the storage information provided on the cans. SKïP's general guidance is to store the drinks somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight, and enjoy them chilled.

How Should I Store SKïP Once It's Opened?

SKïP comes in a ready-to-drink 250ml can, so we usually recommend enjoying it straight away once opened and wouldn't recommend storing it once opened.

Can I Keep SKïP in the Car?

For a short journey, bringing a few cans with you is one thing. A car is not where we would keep them long term, particularly during warmer weather. Temperatures inside cars can vary considerably, especially when they are parked in direct sunlight. For normal storage, keep SKïP somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.

What Should I Do If a Can Looks Damaged or Swollen?

If a can arrives leaking, badly damaged, unusually swollen, or otherwise does not look right, set it aside rather than opening it. Contact SKïP if you have a concern about a can from your order.

Does the 18-Month Shelf Life Apply to Every SKïP Can?

SKïP can be stored for up to 18 months, but the best-before date printed on your individual can is the date to follow. If you have cans from different orders, check them individually rather than assuming they all have the same best-before date.
