Can the lotions in the bottles spoil and thus lose their effect?Updated a year ago
Yes, the lotions in the bottles can spoil and lose their effectiveness, especially if they are not stored properly. Some factors that can cause lotions to spoil are:
Exposure to air and light: lotions can oxidise through contact with air and light, which can lead to a deterioration in their effectiveness. It is therefore important to keep the vials well sealed and stored in a cool, dark place.
Contamination: If the vials come into contact with unwashed hands or other contaminants during use, bacteria or other microorganisms can enter the lotion and cause it to spoil.
Expiry date: Lotions have a shelf life of 3 months after opening.
Temperature fluctuations: Extreme temperatures can cause the ingredients in lotions to become unstable and lose their effectiveness. It is therefore important to protect the bottles from heat and cold and to store them at room temperature.
