Care and storage of your products: Keep your oils, creams and lotions in a cool place out of direct sunlight. UV rays can diminish the quality of the ingredients. Keep your fragrances in their original box to protect against light. Sunlight and heat causes chemical reactions that diminish effectiveness, and degrade formulas. Store products in a cool dark place (like a drawer or cabinet) to prevent oxidation, texture and fragrance changes.

​

Here is why keeping products out of direct sunlight is essential:

 

Prevents Loss of Effectiveness (Degradation): UV light and heat destroy active ingredients - particularly Vitamin C, retinoids, and peptides - making them less effective or completely inactive.

​

Prevents Chemical Changes: Heat speeds up chemical reactions, causing creams and serums to turn brown, turn yellow, or change odor, signaling the product has gone bad.

​

Prevents Texture Changes and Separation: Excessive sunlight and heat can break down emulsions, causing creams and lotions to separate into oil and water layers.

​

Best Storage Practices:

​

Store products in a drawer, cabinet, or a lidded box.

Avoid storing products on a windowsill or in a warm humid bathroom.

When products are organic natural products, they are especially sensitive to light and heat and should be stored in a cool dark place.
