How must paraffin be stored when not in use?

Paraffin must be stored covered and maintained at the temperature specified by the manufacturer to ensure its effectiveness and to prevent contamination. Proper storage protects the integrity of the paraffin and enhances the safety of its use in cosmetology treatments, such as hand and foot treatments. When stored correctly, the paraffin maintains its consistency and therapeutic properties, allowing practitioners to provide the best service to their clients.

Storing paraffin in an open container can lead to contamination from airborne particles or other contaminants, compromising its quality. Keeping it at room temperature without a cover may also expose it to environmental factors that could affect its consistency and hygiene, while placing it in a freezer could cause it to harden, making it unusable until re-warmed. Therefore, adhering to the manufacturer's specifications for temperature and keeping it covered are essential for maintaining the efficacy and safety of the product.
