Can anyone tell me how long you can keep creams for once you have added essential oils?

Thank you

In response to information needed posted by maygee:

Short answer: It really depends on the cream, not on the oils.

Properly distilled essential oils that are processed without synthetic chemicals and have no added "base" or filler oils DO NOT go bad (they've found sealed jars of essential oils in the pyramids in Egypt that are still chemically and medicinally viable!); so adding an essential oil to a cream will only prolong its shelf-life, it will not shorten it.
