The 2 fl oz size is twice the standard 1 fl oz bottle, and a single bottle can last a few years with occasional use, which means fewer replacements and a longer window of safe use before opening a new bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the glass bottle breakable and is that a concern for a family kitchen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle is glass, so it should be handled with care and stored on a stable shelf.
