Caution:

 Sesame oil is generally safe when used in moderation and according to its intended purpose. Before use, you should do a patch test to make sure you’re not allergic. If you experience any adverse reactions from using sesame oil, discontinue use.

Self-life:

Since it is unrefined, cold-pressed & chemically-free oil doesn't have a long shelf-life so you have to buy just the required quantity. Opened bottles are more susceptible to microbial contamination. It should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent it from going rancid.
