Final Thoughts

Shelf Life of DIY Brightening Bounce Cream
The shelf life of this DIY cream depends on storage conditions and the presence of preservatives. Since it contains water-based ingredients (like aloe vera and extracts), it is prone to bacterial growth if not preserved properly.
Approximate Shelf Life:
- Without a preservative → 5-7 days (must be refrigerated).
- With a natural preservative (e.g., Leucidal Liquid, Geogard ECT) → 3-4 weeks (refrigerated).
- With a broad-spectrum preservative (e.g., Germaben II, Optiphen) → 2-3 months (room temperature).
How to Extend Shelf Life?
✔ Use a preservative → Add 1% natural preservative (Leucidal SF Complete, Geogard ECT) or 0.5% synthetic preservative (Optiphen, Germaben II).
✔ Store in an airtight jar → Prevents contamination.
✔ Keep refrigerated → Slows bacterial growth.
✔ Use a clean spoon or spatula → Avoids introducing bacteria from fingers.
Signs That It Has Gone Bad
❌ Change in smell (sour or unpleasant).
❌ Change in color (darker or cloudy).
❌ Visible mold or separation.
For longer shelf life, I recommend adding a preservative. Would you like suggestions for a specific type of preservative based on your preference?
