Storing tallow-based cosmetics properly is essential to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. By following these tips & best practices you can help ensure that your cosmetics remain effective and safe to use for as long as possible.
Cool, Dark Place:
Store tallow-based cosmetics in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Exposure to light and heat can cause the tallow to oxidize and spoil more quickly.
Airtight Containers:
Use airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, which can lead to oxidation and rancidity. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids are often a good choice.
Refrigeration:
For longer shelf life, you can store your tallow-based cosmetics in the refrigerator. This is particularly useful in warmer climates where room temperature may be too high.
Avoid Moisture:
Ensure that the storage environment is dry. Moisture can promote the growth of mold and bacteria, which can spoil the product.
Clean Hands/Tools:
Always use clean hands or tools when handling tallow-based cosmetics to avoid introducing contaminants that can cause spoilage.
