Refrigeration for maximum effect

Creams and skin care products help revitalize the body’s circulatory system. Pores open and enable the valuable agents therein to reach the subcutaneous tissue, i.e. the place where wrinkles are created. Refrigeration leads to a considerable improvement and results that are worth looking at.

Exposed creams quickly turn rancid

Products, irrespective of whether or not they contain preservatives, often bear the notice “Please store in a cool place”. Manufacturers try to minimize preservative levels in order to reduce the risk of allergies. Cosmetic jars are filled under sterile conditions and yet bacteria immediately start attacking the products as soon as they come into contact with the surrounding air. The warmer the surroundings, the quicker they multiply and so the skin care products start to lose their efficacy. It is also possible for the skin to be damaged on account of aggressive chemical reactions.

Changes in consistency or smell are signs of well advanced decay, with bacterial infection already having reached its peak. The anticipated efficacy of the active ingredients has long since waned.

Heat destroys valuable ingredients

Most ingredients in jars react very sensitively to warmth, which is why packaging often contains an instruction “not to warm a cream in one’s hands, in order not to jeopardize the cream’s effectiveness”. Many ingredients are coated with a very thin, highly sensitive layer of lecithin that guarantees that their essential essences penetrate directly into the subcutaneous skin layers. These active ingredients can only reach the lower layers and unfold their protective anti-ageing characteristics if this sensitive, protective layer remains intact. Refrigeration stabilizes this ultra-thin layer so the ingredients can work to maximum effect.


Ideal temperatures for cosmetics and medicines

The ideal average temperature for storing skin care products is around 10 °C. Products that contain collagen should be stored at 12 °C and vitamin-based ones between 5–8 °C. biszet cosmetic coolers have three temperature zones so all ingredients can be stored and refrigerated at their ideal temperatures in accordance with their respective manufacturer’s recommendations.
