Introduction

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the quality and effectiveness of your natural & organic cosmetics. Whether you're a business owner or a consumer, understanding the best ways to store your products can help you get the most out of them. In this article, we'll discuss the recommended storage conditions for natural & organic cosmetics to ensure they remain safe, effective, and long-lasting.

The Importance of Proper Storage

Natural & organic cosmetics often contain natural ingredients that are sensitive to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light. Incorrect storage conditions can lead to:

  • Reduced efficacy of the product
  • Altered texture and consistency
  • Faster expiration
  • Growth of bacteria or mold

Recommended Storage Conditions

*Temperature

It's advisable to store your natural & organic cosmetics in a dry, cool place with a temperature ranging between 10-20 degrees Celsius (50-68 degrees Fahrenheit). Extreme temperatures can affect the stability and efficacy of the product.

*Humidity

High humidity levels can introduce moisture into your products, which can lead to bacterial growth or spoilage. Always keep your cosmetics in a dry environment to prevent these issues.

*Sunlight

Direct exposure to sunlight can speed up the aging process of your products, causing them to expire quicker. The UV rays can break down the active ingredients, making them less effective.

Tips for Proper Storage

  • Use Original Packaging: Always keep the products in their original packaging, which is designed to protect them from environmental factors.
  • Tightly Seal Containers: Make sure to close the lids tightly after use to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
  • Avoid Bathroom Storage: The bathroom is generally humid and can be warm at times, making it an unsuitable storage place for natural & organic cosmetics.
  • Use Clean Hands or Spatulas: Always use clean hands or a clean spatula to take out the product to prevent contamination.
  • Check Expiry Dates: Always be aware of the product's expiry date and discontinue use after this period.
  • Refrigeration: Some products may benefit from being stored in the fridge, especially in hot climates. However, always read the manufacturer's guidelines before doing so.

Conclusion

Proper storage is essential for maintaining the quality and longevity of your natural & organic cosmetics. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your products remain safe and effective for as long as possible. Remember, when in doubt, always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the best storage practices.

Introduction

Ensuring the quality and safety of our products is a top priority at EcoCharm Skincare. In this article, we will walk you through the various testing phases and processes that our products undergo before they reach you.

Formulation Process

The formulation process begins by consulting guidelines from ingredient suppliers about the recommended usage and concentration for each ingredient. Sometimes, we even test several hundreds of samples to decide on the best formula.

Cruelty-Free Testing

We believe that beauty should be cruelty-free, which is why we don't test (and never will) on animals. Instead, each product is tested by volunteers who share their skin’s reaction after testing and provide their subjective evaluation. Both are taken into account when refining the formula.

Laboratory Testing

After a product is created, it undergoes rigorous testing in a laboratory. This includes measuring various physical and chemical properties, determining stability and expiration date, as well as studying and defining standards for storage. In accordance with the law, each product is tested by a qualified chemist to ensure it complies with safety and consistency tests. We also send the items to external labs to make sure that the chosen preservatives work well throughout the validity period.

Batch Consistency

We also check the physical and chemical properties for each batch we manufacture. This ensures that the product from production is consistent with the approved version from the laboratory.

Conclusion

Quality and safety are paramount in the development of Selfnamed products. From formulation to final production, each product undergoes a series of tests to ensure it meets our high standards.

Introduction

EcoCharm Skincare is committed to creating skincare and makeup products that are not only effective but also friendly to the skin and our environment. In this article, we will explore what sets our formulas apart.

The Heart of EcoCharm Skincare: Active Ingredients

The very essence of EcoCharm Skincare products lies in the active ingredients sourced from flowers and herbs from the Baltic meadows and forests. The unique natural environment of the Baltic region contributes to the potency of these ingredients.

Unique Blossoming Vigour

The northern summers in the Baltic region are much shorter, compelling plants to concentrate their blossoming vigour in a brief period. As a result, at the time of harvest, these plants are rich in the active ingredients required to survive in harsh climates.

Philosophy

We believe that all skincare and makeup on the planet should be done right—effective yet friendly to the skin and our environment.

Combining Nature and Science

EcoCharm Skincare marries nature with science to create game-changing products. We harness powerful plant actives to deliver real results.

Certification

Most of our products are Natural and Organic Certified according to the international COSMOS standard by ECOCERT Greenlife, nourishing both the skin and senses.

Conclusion

EcoCharm Skincare products stand out for their unique blend of natural active ingredients, scientific innovation, and commitment to sustainability.
