Why Proper Storage of Liquid and Cosmetics Matters

Safety Over Visual Appeal: Safe Storage Liquid Cosmetics. Best practices

In the world of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, product quality does not rely solely on formulation or active ingredients. Proper storage of liquid products is essential to ensure their effectiveness, purity, and safety. Something as simple as the position in which vials are stored can make a significant difference.

Why is it essential to store vials with butyl rubber stoppers in a vertical position?

Reduced Contact with the Stopper:

Keeping vials upright minimizes the liquid’s contact with the butyl rubber stopper. This reduces the risk of unwanted chemical interactions and prevents the extraction of compounds that could affect the product’s composition.

Reduced Risk of Contamination:

Prolonged contact between the liquid and the stopper can lead to the release of additives such as plasticizers or antioxidants. Storing vials vertically minimizes this risk and helps maintain the integrity of the contents.

Compliance with International Regulations:

Regulatory bodies like the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) and the EMA (European Medicines Agency) recommend vertical storage for vials. Following these guidelines not only ensures product quality but also meets the highest safety standards.

Preventing Seal Issues:

Storing vials horizontally can place unnecessary pressure on the stopper, increasing the risk of microleakage or loss of product efficacy. Keeping vials upright preserves the seal and ensures long-term stability.

Conclusion:

Proper storage of liquid cosmetic products is not a minor detail—it is a key factor in maintaining the safety and efficacy of formulations. Adhering to the manufacturer’s recommendations and following the guidelines of major regulatory agencies is essential to protect both product quality and your peace of mind.
