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.
