My product was shipped to me in an opaque vial, but it's recommended to be stored in the dark. Is it still OK to use?

Answer

Some of our products are sensitive to light, we recommend that your store them under reduced light or in the dark to extend their shelf life. We have done intensive research on our product light sensitivity, and found that their light sensitivities are most caused by the UV light. For most of our products the visible room light has minimal effect when they are in the white opaque vials that are not very transparent to visible light. To maximize the convenience to use our products, we use the white opaque vials to store our products, thus the contents can be easily seen when you use them. We assure you that their performance shall not be affected if they are shipped in an opaque white vial. For storage they need be stored in the dark to extend their shelf life. Of course for the products that are extremely sensitive to light, we do store and ship them in brown or black vials, and we recommend that you use them in the dark or under reduced light.
