Storage

Certain Natural Inks such as Elderberry and other berry based inks are particularly susceptible to fermentation. I take every step to ensure this does not happen, however on occasion one slips through the cracks. This would show as bubbling when opened or some leakage out of the bottle. I recommend inks are stored in a cool dry place, If possible the fridge is the best place for them to extend their life.

Long Term Care

With the inks being made from natural materials, they can grow mould. In every bottle there is a drop of albas oil which prevents mould growth. However over time the effectiveness of this can waiver. If you open a bottle and there has been mold growth. Although never nice this isn't the end of the world for your ink, by simply scraping away the area and adding another drop or two of any essential oil you can extent the life of the inks you have.
