Its recommended to consider formulation aspects. Probably , there is interaction between components or there is mictobes growth.

Aula Al Muslim

Thanks for your help!

Paroma Arefin

The factors affecting the shelf life of a cream are the possible interactions between the components, microbial growth, storage condition,choice and use of the type and quantity of preservative etc. So shelf life can be increased by modifying the factors concerned.

Shakir Faris Tuleab

I agree with Nataliia Hudz

Jaffar Abbas

Good question. Also focus on the skin protection.
