How long do herbal alcohol-infused tinctures last?

Alcohol-infused tinctures can last up to 5 years as long as they are stored correctly, in a cool dry place away from any sunlight.

How long do herbal non-alcohol infused tinctures last?

Non-alcohol-infused tinctures can last up to 3 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What's the difference between the two bases?

Both base options offer the same potency and strength of herbal extract. We provide an alcohol and an alcohol-free option to accommodate customers who prefer to avoid alcohol or cannot consume it. Both extracts are equally effective. The alcohol-free base has a slightly thicker consistency and is naturally a bit sweeter than the alcohol base.

Can these herbal tinctures also used topically?

For topical use, we recommend the alcohol-free base, as it is gentler on the skin and helps prevent the dryness or irritation that can sometimes occur with alcohol-based extracts. The alcohol-free base is better suited for direct skin application or for blending into skincare products.

Do these tinctures need to be refrigerated?

Typically, refrigeration is not required, as our extracts are preserved naturally with either alcohol or glycerin. However, if you plan to keep the product for a year or longer after opening, we recommend refrigerating it to help maintain freshness, potency, and overall quality.

Do you guys have your own website?

Yes we do! Visit us anytime at www.redcardinalstore.com

Do you offer custom blend tinctures?

Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer custom blend orders. However, you are welcome to purchase the extracts separately and combine them yourself to create your own preferred ratios and blends.

All size tinctures arrive sealed for protection against tampering.

Shake well before use. Take about 20-30 drops (1 ml or 1 full squeeze of the dropper bulb), up to 3 times a day or as directed by your practitioner. The best way to use liquid herbal tinctures is to put the suggested amount in a glass of water, tea, or juice and drink the entire contents. Do not drink with any dairy products 30 minutes before and after consumption. Tinctures can also be administered directly into the mouth without the
assistance of water however some tinctures are unpalatable which is why most people prefer to dilute them into a beverage.

Safety information: Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult your practitioner if any adverse reactions occur. Excessive consumption may impair ability to drive a motor vehicle or operate heavy equipment.
