So you must be saying the bottle is not sealed at all, not air tight? The color does not concern me as different oils can be used but the air tight issue does. I have a supplier that would promptly reship no questions asked so thats where I would go with it. Email the supplier with your concern addressing the issue of need it quick and see where it goes. If you feel it will be to long to receive product based on previous order my source here can likely get it to you ijn under 10 days so PM me. I'm not overly paranoid by any stretch given I tend to use quality product but I personally would not used product unsealed, even setting in a base of oil that has high end stabilility. Now if you have a hard time drawing product, as though you have to drag on the plunger as normal to get it out, then it is likely fine. Another example of "have everything on hand before running a cycle". I have several sources here and many at the local level but if you're not well connected to product dont take the chances brother.
