Understanding PMU Pigment Shelf Life

Most PMU pigments of professional quality, such as those made by ibrow, mentions an expiry date. The pigment bottle should be opened for use within the expiry date. Once the bottle is open, it stays in good condition for 12 to 24 months depending on how the bottles are stored. .

Essential Storage Guidelines

The pigment bottles should be kept in a controlled environment.. Keep pigments in a cool and dry place, not under direct sunlight, with temperatures preferably between 15°C to 25°C. The pigment bottles should not be kept in a wall shelf, which gets direct sunlight. Heat makes chemical reactions happen faster which can break down things while UV light causes colours to change or fade. ibrow pigments are made keeping in mind the Indian weather conditions, yet they still need to be stored with attention to temperature.

Pigments should be kept in their original packages with the caps closed tightly. Exposure to air brings contaminants and speeds up the oxidation process. Always avoid transferring pigments to containers without labels, because it makes tracking expiration and traceability difficult.

Contamination Prevention Protocols

Make sure to always use disposable  rings when doing procedures. Do not ever work straight from the main bottle. The mixing of pigments between clients might cause  contamination and it also changes the purity of pigment. You should apply rigorous rules about using once only for all the pigment parts that are given out during treatments.
