What is the best way to preserve homemade beauty products: masks, creams, scrubs?

For all the at home remedies I make I keep them sealed in air-tight jars. Anything which is perishable should by kept in the refrigerator. All other items should be stored in a cool, dark place. For items such as masks, creams, etc. consider making only small amounts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in order to be sure that they don't spoil.
Puncture a vitamin E gel pill with a straight pin and add to your product. Depending on the amount of product you may need two or three. You usually can find vitamin E lots cheaper at places like the Dollar Zone or Everythings a Dollar.
Grapefruit seed extract is a great preservative. Just a few drops.
I have made some exfoliating sugar scrub with foaming bath butter. Would anyone know how long this will last? I go away on holiday in two weeks and made two tubs of medium size. I have put them in the fridge for now; would they last for a month? Many thanks.

Butter and sugar both, can be frozen. Freeze it. When you come back, let one thaw, use it up before thawing the other. Always keep refrigerated when not frozen.
How can I preserve a homemade facial scrub with a main ingredient of Moringa oliefera, also known as malunggay, in combination with honey and lime? And how long would it take?

The ingredients in the face masks I make are gram flour, turmeric powder, honey, and milk. For how long can this be stored in a refrigerator?
And also how often can I use it? Is using it every other day not good?As long as milk is one of the ingredients in the homemade facial mask mixture, it won't be good to store it more than a week. The milk will spoil and make the mask stink when trying to use it again.
I would like to make a face cleanser/mask daily use product which contains 2 tsp honey, 1/3c. yogurt, and 2 tsp almond oil.
I would like to use this as daily face wash and therefore would like to prepare it in advance rather than doing it in the morning.
If I store this mixture in an air tight container in the fridge, how long will this mixture last and be safe to use on my face?
This would be a daily product you use. I would try to make a batch weekly.
It will be a trial and error for you and you can do what works best for your time schedule.
I'm planning on making yogurt facial masks to sell, but I'm not really sure how to store it and or if it'll go bad after so long. All of the other ingredients that I'm using can be kept at room temperature, but the plain yogurt is throwing me off on how to go about it.
The yogurt mask will need to be refrigerated. Usually a week shelf life but if it smells bad, I'd toss it.
You can sell the facial mask mixture in a glass container.
I'm looking to start selling facial masks and the ingredients include an egg white, honey, oatmeal, and yogurt. I wanted to know how long do you think it'll last?
I'm guessing the product would have to be stored in the fridge; right?Can I freeze leftover organic homemade beauty products? Especially if I'm using food such as oatmeal.

I have made a face mask with oats and honey. How long can I store it without it being refrigerated? I have made it for selling.
I usually use lemon, sugar, honey, and cucumber scrub for my skin. In a few days I'm going on a vacation and I need the scrub every morning.
What's the best way I can store it and take it along with me?I am making a hair mask with coconut oil and honey. What is the best way to store this product and how long can it be stored before it needs to be used?
Can you store body scrubs in the fridge? I made a few to sell and they kind of froze. Are they still good?
I didn't put them in the freezer, but towards the back so that they wouldn't be on the way.
