Advice on Storing Vitamin C Serums in Smaller Bottles

Dividing your Vitamin C serums, such as Vitamin C E Ferulic and Stabilized Vitamin C (Natural-C Glycol™) Serum, into smaller pump bottles is an excellent strategy to minimize exposure to air and help preserve their quality and effectiveness over time. Storing the main bottle in the refrigerator further aids in maintaining stability.

Regarding the type of bottle, it is important to use high-quality plastic that is resistant to the acidic nature of Vitamin C. The bottles available from MySkinRecipes are designed to be suitable for such formulations and should not be corroded by the serum.

Concerning refilling the smaller bottles: While it might seem convenient, repeatedly refilling the same bottle, even after cleaning, carries a risk of introducing contaminants or accelerating the degradation of the serum due to residual product or exposure during the refilling process. For optimal preservation and to ensure the best quality of your Vitamin C serums, it is generally recommended to use a clean, new bottle each time you divide a portion from the main stock. If you choose to reuse bottles, ensure they are meticulously cleaned and completely dried before refilling.
