Why proper storage is so important
Natural and organic cosmetics often contain sensitive ingredients that react to external influences such as temperature, humidity, and light. Improper storage can lead to:
- reduced effectiveness,
- altered texture or consistency,
- faster decay,
- Bacteria or mold growth.
Optimal storage conditions
temperature
Store your products in a cool, dry place – ideally between 10–20 °C. Extreme heat or cold can impair stability and effectiveness.
humidity
High humidity can introduce moisture into the product and promote bacterial growth. Therefore, ensure a dry environment.
sunlight
Direct sunlight accelerates the aging process. UV rays can break down active ingredients and render products unusable more quickly.
Tips for proper storage
- Use the original packaging: It offers the best protection against external influences.
- Always close containers tightly: This prevents contact with air and moisture.
- Do not store in the bathroom: It is often warm and humid there – not good conditions.
- Remove cleanly: Always use clean hands or a spatula to avoid contamination.
- Note the expiration date: Do not use products after this date.
- Refrigeration (optional): Some products benefit from refrigeration in warm climates.
