You can purchase airless pump at this website for only $1.50/bottle…however, it’s clear!

If anyone find a bottle that is dark, not clear, pls let me know.

Thanks for this great post! Most of my skin care products are in opaque tubes or bottles. Sometimes, I would like to put them in the fridge but I might forget to use them. Maybe jars are cheaper so it costs less to package in them.

Good post! I store my antioxidant products and raw butters in a closed box specially reserved as my “skin care corner” in the fridge. They keep better, and are kept tightly packaged away from spoilers like light and air. I have what I need kept in small sample containers, but wish that I could transfer them all to airless pumps – would be so much better.

Anyone know where to purchase airless pumps or metered dispensers? It would make sense just to tranfer your beauty products to your own packaging.

Also, how does packaging regulate temperature (or is temp an issue)? I’ve heard keeping polish and perfumes in the fridge keeps them “fresh.” Does that apply to lotions/creams/etc?

I honestly don’t know for sure if refrigeration helps, but it should, considering that heat and light damage most antioxidants in a clear container. Keep in mind, however, that the light on the fridge and the door opening/closing still exposes the creams to light and air, so be sure to wrap your containers in a paper towel if they are transparent, and to seal them very tightly.

Does leaving cosmetics in the fridge help keep bacteria away and prolong the longevity of the product as well?

I tend to buy cosmetics that are packaged well –

I think more companies should jump on the bandwagon and make packaging more sanitary– does storing cosmetics in the refrigerator help as well?
