How should I store the gel, and does it have a shelf life? — Cooling Gel for Horses, 500 g – Rumak

To preserve the quality of the gel, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A stable cabinet in the tack room or feed store is ideal. Keeping the lid tightly closed after each use prevents the gel from drying out or contamination.

Like all cosmetic and care products, it has a shelf life. Check the tube or packaging for a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol—a jar icon with a number like 6M or 12M—indicating how many months it remains good after first use. Also look for a manufacturing date or expiry date. Using a product past its shelf life can reduce its effectiveness.

If the gel's color, consistency, or smell changes noticeably, it's best to discard it. For consistent results, incorporate it into your regular routine and use it within its recommended timeframe.
