The whole idea behind Skinome Research is that we put skin health first. Our products must first and foremost work for healthy skin. For this reason, we avoid additives and traditional preservatives that are normally used in products to ensure a long shelf life. We honestly believe that it is better to compromise on the durability and storage of the product than to compromise on what is best for the skin. We think it's crazy that most skin care products today have a shelf life of 30 months (2.5 years!) and that no temperature control is needed during storage. If you think about it, it is easy to understand the amount of preservatives needed to succeed in this, especially if it is a jar of cream that you dip your fingers into every day. Our skin care is produced in small batches (so-called batches), is fresh and we do not use preservatives that can disturb your good skin flora, your so-called skin microbiome. After manufacturing, we keep our products refrigerated and we also ask you as a user to keep them refrigerated.
Immediately after manufacturing, our products are placed in a cold room with a temperature below 8 degrees Celsius. If our skin creams are stored cold/refrigerated, they have a shelf life of 12 months unopened. However, this does not apply to our cleaning products, which can all be stored at room temperature and maintain the same durability. All our products except Five Point Cleanser last 12 months from production date in unopened packaging and 6 months after opening.
Five Point Cleanser lasts 18 months from production date in unopened packaging and 12 months after opening.
