We get it - those product demo videos with serum dripping straight onto skin? Satisfying. But here’s the truth: That habit could be compromising your skincare.
Why it matters
Most serums and oils are packaged in glass dropper bottles for a reason: to preserve the purity and potency of the formula. But the moment the dropper tip touches your skin - or even your hands - it can pick up bacteria, oils, and other impurities. When it’s dipped back into the bottle, all of that goes in with it. Over time, this can lead to product contamination, reduced effectiveness, and even irritation or breakouts.
How to use it the clean way
Dispense into clean hands: Drop a few drops into your palm, then gently press or massage into your skin.
Avoid direct contact: Keep the dropper away from your face and hands to avoid introducing bacteria.
Store smart: Keep products in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Our amber glass bottles help, but proper storage makes a difference.
A small habit with a big impact
Skincare is a ritual - and like all rituals, it’s built on intention. By being mindful of how you use your dropper products, you're protecting both your skin and the formula you invested in.
Treat your skin (and your products) with the care they deserve.
