How should all fluids and creams be stored in a salon?

Storing fluids and creams in clean, closed, labeled containers is essential for several reasons. This practice ensures that the products remain uncontaminated and are protected from exposure to air, which can lead to degradation or contamination by bacteria and other pathogens. Closed containers prevent spillage and help maintain the integrity of the product, thereby ensuring safety for both the practitioners and the clients.

Labeling containers is also crucial as it provides important information regarding the contents, including ingredients, expiration dates, and instructions for use. This minimizes the risk of using outdated or incorrect products on clients, which is vital for maintaining safety and compliance with health regulations.

In contrast, storing products in open containers poses significant risks of contamination and spillage. Plastic bags, while they may provide some degree of containment, do not offer the same level of protection against contamination or allow for efficient dispensing of products. Opaque containers, although they can protect products from light degradation, do not address other hygiene and safety concerns that are remedied by using clean, closed, labeled containers.
