If you opened a jar of your favorite cream and suddenly saw an incomprehensible liquid on its surface, do not be afraid and do not take drastic actions to save the funds. First, you need to figure out what happened!
Despite the long shelf life, technologically advanced packaging, and a heavy dose of preservatives in the composition, not a single cosmetic product is immune from a sudden loss of texture. Especially if the rules and terms of its use are not observed – or if you dropped the package, left it to stand in direct sunlight, or, on the contrary, froze it, forgetting it in the car during the cold season.
And it happens that you did nothing with the jar, but when you opened it, you suddenly discovered the appearance of liquid on the surface of the cream. For someone, this situation will not cause unnecessary questions. They just gently mix or shake the product and continue to use it. Actually, you shouldn’t do that. Alas, it is better to get rid of such a jar in your beauty routine as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs.
The first reason for the appearance of liquid on the surface of the cream is the expired expiration date. If everything is in order with the timing, then the problem is in the formula of the remedy. The cream exfoliates due to the separation of components in the composition that have different textures: for example, oil and water.
In order to obtain a homogeneous emulsion, technologists mix the water and oil parts of the cream with emulsifiers – substances to stabilize the texture of the products. However, these components may not be as durable as we would like. Especially if the rules for storing and transporting cosmetics are not followed. Or if the cream production technology is violated – which is more dangerous than all other reasons for the separation of cosmetics.
It happens that the liquid appears on the surface of the new cream that you just brought from the store. In this case, it is better to take the product back and demand a refund or exchange for another product. After all, if the structure of the cream has already undergone changes, it is unlikely to be as safe and effective as you expect it to be.
