Cosmetic products expiry date: a guide to a safe skincare routine
Summer is coming, so it is time to think about protecting your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The Stocksmetic glass cream jars are the most suitable solution to best preserve your cosmetic formulations. In this article, we will introduce you to the Pure and Heavy cosmetic collections and explain why it is convenient to choose glass jars for creams.
Contrary to what many believe, in summer it is necessary to follow a thorough and delicate skin care routine. In fact, there are many cases of rash or skin damage that slowly lead to skin ageing due to sunlight. The consequences are loss of brightness, softness of the skin and perception of oily skin, making our face tired and aged.
Let’s see how to follow a proper skin care that starts from the cleansing to the hydration of your face, to get back a face with bright and natural skin.
Glass jars for creams suitable for your beauty routine
First step of your beauty routine: cleansing
In the warmer months we give the go-ahead to purifying detergents, light moisturizers, refreshing waters, anti-hot solutions that we will contain in our glass jars for creams. What we must avoid at all costs is to weigh down the cellular tissue with a makeup that risks clogging the pores of our skin. So, we need to apply a proper moisturizing base before we even put on makeup. Lotions should be enriched with hyaluronic acid, moisturizer, vitamins and fruit acids, rebalancing products and ingredients that smooth and fill the skin and soothing to reduce redness by themselves.
After that, do not forget that the two most important moments of the day when you need to implement your skin care routine are in the morning and in the evening.
These are the ideal moments for your rinse cleansers, useful to purify the skin of the face from the metabolic waste of night work, and we at Stocksmetic have thought of an exclusive line for you. Rely on our collection Linea Cosmetica Pure: you will find a set of bottles and jars in plastic glass. The flagship model of our collection is the transparent glass jar Pure, suitable to contain various formulations such as cream cosmetics. The glass of our cosmetic jars is the best solution to protect the quality of your creams and lotions.
Those with oily skin can use oily skin cleansers to control excess sebum production. Instead, for other skin types, soothing useful to combat the sensations of heat are sufficient.
Next step of your beauty routine: glass jars for creams for perfect hydration
Once the cleansing phase is over, the next step is certainly the hydration of your face.
Continue your beauty routine with a tonic to balance the pH, altered by the mix of detergent and water. It functions is also to close the pores that in summer are always at risk of obstruction, due to the surplus of the sebaceous glands. And finally, accompany micellar water to a thermal spray to perfect your cleansing.

Knowing the expiry date of cosmetic products is essential to ensure a safe and effective beauty routine: many beauty products boast sophisticated formulas that, if used within the recommended period, guarantee good results for the health of your skin. Let's find out together how the expiry date of cosmetic products works and why glass cosmetic jars are the ideal choice for preserving your products.
How do cosmetic expiry dates work?
The expiry date of cosmetic products is determined by their ability to maintain the effectiveness and safety of the product after opening. There are two main elements to consider:
- The expiry date of unopened cosmetics: this date indicates the maximum time for which an unopened product remains safe and effective;
- The PAO (Period After Opening): once the product is opened, the PAO of cosmetics becomes the main reference for the maximum usage time.
How long a cosmetic product lasts depends on numerous factors, of which one of the most important is certainly the formulation: water-based products, such as creams and lotions, are more susceptible to bacterial growth and tend to deteriorate more rapidly than powders or oils. Two other elements to take into consideration are the ingredients and the use of preservatives: although preservatives help to extend the shelf life for cosmetics, it is always advisable to respect the expiry date to prevent skin irritation or infections.
What is meant by PAO (Period After Opening)?
The PAO informs the consumer on how long a cosmetic product will last once opened; it is the symbol of cosmetic expiry dates, usually represented by an open jar, with a number followed by the letter ‘M’, which indicates the total number of months: for example, ‘12M’ means that the product should be used within 12 months of opening.
Knowing the PAO can really make a difference in safeguarding the health of your skin: expired cosmetics can lose their effectiveness and cause dangerous adverse reactions; for this reason, the best idea is to write the opening date on each product so that you can keep track of the Period After Opening and ensure your beauty routine is risk free.
How can you tell if a cosmetic product has expired?
Recognizing an expired cosmetic product is very important to avoid possible skin problems; there are several warning signs that can tell you when it is no longer advisable to use a product:
- Changes in consistency (lumps, phase separation);
- Changes in color or smell;
- Unpleasant odor or different from the original smell.
Even if the PAO has not yet expired, factors such as storage conditions, or exposure to heat and light, can accelerate the deterioration process.
The importance of using good quality packaging
Good quality packaging plays a key role in prolonging the life of a product and preserving cosmetics, protecting them from external factors such as air, light and contaminants. Among the best cosmetic packaging that we find on the market, the glass jars for cosmetic creams are particularly valued for ensuring protection and stability: compared to plastic containers, glass does not absorb odors and does not release chemicals, keeping the product properties intact and shielding the contents from environmental variables.
