If ingested, it is not recommended, and medical attention should be sought if adverse reactions occur.

Geranium extract should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its stability.

Avoid storing it in areas with extreme temperatures or high humidity to prevent loss of potency and quality.
