Clean environment: Much like when you are cooking and baking, a clean area around the kitchen is the best place to create your beauty and home recipes.
Shelf Life: If you are not using preservatives or antioxidants in your formula, keep in mind that your products will have a shorter shel life than commercial products. That said, using sterile tools and jars and storing your products in a cool and dark area will allow you to keep your products fresh for quite some time. It will all depend on that and on the ingredients you have in your recipe (more water usually means shorter shelf life).
