🌿 Shelf Life & Product Care
At Waxing Crescent, our products are crafted in small batches using natural ingredients, including herbs, oils, and beeswax. Because we prioritize minimal processing and avoid harsh preservatives, proper storage and use are essential to maintain quality and freshness.
🕯️ General Shelf Life Guidelines
To ensure the best experience, we recommend the following:
- Herbal Teas: Best used within 6–12 months for optimal flavor and freshness
- Botanical Cosmetics (balms, salves, etc.): Best used within 6–9 months after opening
- Oils & Infused Products: Best used within 6–9 months
Shelf life may vary depending on storage conditions and exposure to heat, light, and air.
🌙 How to Store Your Products
To preserve the integrity of your items:
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat
- Ensure containers are tightly sealed after use
- Avoid introducing water or contaminants into products
Natural products may soften, harden, or change slightly with temperature—this is normal and does not affect usability.
⚠️ Signs a Product Should Be Discontinued
Because our products are made with natural ingredients, they will not last indefinitely. Please discontinue use if you notice:
- A strong or unusual odor
- Visible mold or separation beyond normal variation
- Changes in texture that seem off or spoiled
When in doubt, it’s always best to replace the product.
