Boosting the effectiveness of cosmetics, extending their shelf life, achieving a radiant complexion, naturally toning the skin, tightening pores and reducing sebum production: like many people, you've probably already heard about the beneficial effects of cold on your skin and on your beauty products, such as creams, masks and perfumes.

That's why several cosmetics brands several cosmetics brands (La Mer, Fresh, L'Oréal Paris, Milk Makeup, etc.) and experts, such as Dr. Roula Amer and Jean-Claude Le Joliff, recommend keeping them in a cool place..

However, not all existing refrigerators are suitable for storing your beauty products.

It is therefore essential to choose the best environment for your products, as this has a direct impact on the preservation and efficacy of your cosmetics.

So which fridge is ideal for storing your cosmetics?

1. Kitchen refrigerator

The most obvious option is the classic refrigerator in the kitchen . In fact, 1 in 5 women place their beauty products in the family fridge.

However, combining food and cosmetics is not without risks:

• Lack of hygiene

In the fridge, food odors can impregnate beauty products.

There is also a risk of cross-contamination between food and cosmetics.

So when you store your cosmetics in the fridge, it's highly recommended to place them in an airtight box.

• Temperatures too low

Cold temperatures, typical of refrigerators, are harmful to skincare and make-up products, and can alter their texture and crystallization.

• Lack of practicality

Putting cosmetics in the fridge is impractical: you have to go back and forth between the bedroom and the bathroom, forgetting your cosmetics, and the layout is unsuitable. 

2. The mini fridge

Originally designed for soda cans, mini-fridges are now being used to store cosmetics.

These handy little refrigerators can be taken anywhere.

However, as they are not intended for cosmetics, they can have a harmful effect on your products.

It is therefore essential to be aware of the risks involved in storing your most precious products in small fridges:

• No thermostat and impossible to control temperature

The absence of a thermostat makes it impossible to control the temperature inside portable mini-fridges.

Temperature variations are constant and uncontrolled, which is detrimental to your cosmetics..

• No ventilated cooling

The absence of ventilated cooling means thathumidity levels in small refrigerators are high.

What's more, water droplets accumulate on the inside walls of mini-fridges.  

The water formed in this way encourages the proliferation of germs and bacteria, which can contaminate your cosmetic products, especially your natural ingredients and homemade cosmetics. 

•  Noise

Mini fridges are extremely noisy.
