| Cosmetics for Special Populations and for Use as Compounding Vehicles |
|
Part 6: Storage and Labeling
We are continuing our series on "Compounding Cosmetics for Special Populations and for Use as Compounding Vehicles." There are many opportunities available, including:
- Compounding cosmetics for ingredient-sensitive patients,
- Compounding special vehicles to meet patient-specific needs, and
- Compounding cosmeceuticals, as appropriate.
This week, we will look at storage and labeling.
Storage and Labeling
Cosmetics should be packaged appropriately for the product in either well-closed or tightly closed containers. They should be kept out of the reach of children; protected from heat and direct sunlight; and stored at either 5°C or 25°C, depending on the product.
Next week, we will discuss some cosmetic formulations, ingredients, and their purposes.
