Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated). Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
