Hello. I am the Hostless Manager. π€
Today, I am going to talk about something that many of you are mistaken about. It is about expired perfume. Many people think that products that have expired should not be used, but that is not true. I will tell you why you should not throw away expired perfume and how to use expired perfume!
How long is the expiration date of perfume?
Perfume is an important item that gives many people a beautiful scent and confidence. However, perfume, like other products, has an expiration date. The expiration date is the period set by the manufacturer to ensure the quality and safety of the product. After this period, the quality of the product may change or it may become unsafe. Most perfumes must have an expiration date or manufacturing date according to the cosmetic labeling law. You can check the expiration date (EXP) by referring to the bottom of the perfume bottle or the label. Most perfumes are measured as 36 months (3 years) from the manufacturing date. If the expiration date is not indicated, you can check the manufacturing year by searching the manufacturing code on the bottom of the container through a site like Check Cosmetic
Why you don't have to throw away expired perfume
You may have many questions about whether you can use expired perfume. The scent and ingredients of the perfume may change after the expiration date. Some perfumes may lose their scent or freshness over time. In addition, expired perfumes may irritate sensitive skin and cause allergic reactions. However, since perfume products are manufactured after sufficiently testing and manufacturing them for safety and stability in terms of skin sensitivity, it is judged that there will be no major problems as long as you store them well. Therefore, we recommend that you refer to the perfume storage method posted previously and store them in a cool and dry environment. Therefore, it is important to store expired perfumes in a cool and dry environment, such as a refrigerator, and check that they do not deteriorate or irritate your skin.
How to recycle expired perfume
If you have stored it well but your skin is irritated by old perfume, it is a good idea to use perfume recycling ideas.
- Making air fresheners with expired perfume
I also recommend making simple air fresheners at home using expired perfume. For example, if you put expired perfume in a small container and tie it with a cloth and leave it in your room, you can spread a beautiful scent. The DIY air freshener made this way will naturally ventilate your home and allow for continuous use of the perfume.
- Making a diffuser with expired perfume
When making perfume, it is made based on the strictest standards for using fragrances because it comes into direct contact with your skin. For example, even the same fragrances used in making diffusers or detergents are often included in a small percentage or prohibited when making perfume. However, on the contrary, all fragrances used in making perfumes can be made into diffusers. Rather, since diffusers are made with expensive fragrances, they become high-end diffusers. Blend the perfume and the base for the diffuser (ethanol) in a ratio of 4:6 or 3:7 and insert the stick so that the scent is well diffused, and you have a complete diffuser.
In addition, as I mentioned, the fragrance of the perfume can be used in any non-body-contacting fragrance product, such as fabric softener or room spray, in addition to the diffuser. Since the hostless perfume product is eau de parfum and has a high fragrance content, we recommend dropping one or two drops into the toilet and using it.
We have learned about the reasons why you should never throw away expired perfume and the realistic ways to use expired perfume. Expired perfume is not necessarily harmful or unusable, and it is important to consider your personal judgment and skin reactions when making a decision. In order to maintain the beautiful scent of perfume for a long time, it is necessary to have an appropriate storage method and usage habits. We also recommend recycling expired perfume and making it into air fresheners, diffusers, etc. according to your taste. ππ»
