Because we ditch the harsh chemicals and rely on nature's power in our skincare, we don't need any synthetic preservatives. That means it's extra important to keep your products fresh and happy for the longest shelf life. Here are some simple tips: Be a scooping superstar: Use a clean coconut spoon or scoop to grab your skincare goodness. This helps keep water and bacteria out, ensuring your products stay fresh and effective.  Ditch the double dip: Keep those fingers dry! Using wet or dirty fingers can introduce moisture and bacteria, which can shorten the lifespan of your products. Seal the deal: Make sure to close the lid tightly after each use to keep everything nice and protected. By following these easy steps, you can ensure your Husk & Seed products stay fresh and work their magic for up to 12 months after opening (6 months for the exfoliant). That's plenty of time to experience the full benefits of nature's goodness!
