The biotechnologist warned about the consequences of improper storage of cosmetics

At the same time, she noted that storing other products in the cold can, on the contrary, enhance their effect.

"Low temperatures can slow down the growth of bacteria and fungi, which is important for certain types of cosmetics. For example, we are talking about organic cosmetics containing natural, rapidly decomposing ingredients, creams and serums with active ingredients such as retinoids and vitamin C, which are sensitive to light and heat," the biotechnologist said in a conversation with href="https://lenta.ru/news/2025/02/27/rossiyan-predupredili-o-posledstviyah-nepravilnogo-hraneniya-kosmetiki/ " target="_blank">Lenta.Ru .

She added that mascara and face masks, especially moisturizing and cooling ones, can also be stored in the refrigerator.

At the same time, there are cosmetics that are contraindicated in the refrigerator. Lipsticks and lip glosses can change their consistency, become too hard and brittle, and foundation creams and powders can harden or form lumps, the expert explained.

"Nail polishes can thicken and lose their properties, and perfumes can change their fragrance due to unstable essential oils," Zolotareva warned.

The biotechnologist believes that most cosmetic products should be stored under normal conditions, avoiding direct sunlight and high humidity. It is recommended to avoid high and low temperatures. In addition, bottles and jars should always be tightly closed after use, so that air and bacteria do not accelerate the spoilage of cosmetics.
