How to preserve and extend the shelf life of your skin care products you make at home.
As we all know, when making our own skin care and hair care products, the shelf life is not as long as commercial products. Commercial products contain preservatives, and other chemicals to extend shelf life for months if not years. And that's the main reason why most of us like to make our own products, to avoid these harsh chemicals. So, what can we do to prolong the shelf life of natural beauty products? Here's a few ideas....
If working with food in your recipes, it's best just to stick to one use batches. Don't make anymore then what you can use at a single time. Or make just enough to last 1 week and store in the fridge.
Always keep water away from your jars! Even dipping a wet finger into a jar of your fresh lotion can contaminate it. Always make sure fingers are clean and dry or use an application to remove your lotion.
Store your products in dark containers or opaque packaging to keep them away from the harmful effects of sunlight
If going preservative-free.... It's important to remember that your natural products will not stay fresh for as long as commercial products do. By making your products in small batches that you use up within a short period of time, your products will stay fresh and you eliminate the need to preserve your products with harsh chemical preservatives.
