When it comes to our bathrooms, when was the last time you looked carefully in those drawers and did a complete clean out? Last Spring, maybe? Yes, we thought so.
Liquid foundation, lippy, blush, moisturizer – they all come with an expiry date and for a very good reason. Traditional cosmetics use chemicals and preservatives to keep them lasting longer on the shelves and basically, once the expiry date is over they essentially go off or ‘rancid’. And if you keep using them, it can cause breakouts, skin irritations or worse - an infection!
Each brand and product varies with expiry dates – and natural or organic cosmetics can have an even shorter shelf life due to the natural unprocessed nature of its ingredients and a lack of synthetic preservatives. Also, exposure to air, light and moisture can greatly reduce the life of natural cosmetic products.
As a basic guide, we want to sum up all Inika’s products and their expiry dates, just as a refresher (and so in your face)! Always look out for a ‘period after opening’ symbol on your products for reference:
