Problem with JM Tinted Infinity Creamy Oil

Coco Butter Bean · ‎03-30-2010

After going crazy for these when they first appeared and buying every shade, I now find that they are separating and when I squeeze the tube I just get the oil. You can't exactly shake these, so I've been trying to squeeze the tube all over with the cap on to mix them. Anyone else having this happen?

My regular no color Infinity Creamy Oil did that. I don't think there's much you can do about it.

I find a slight shaking helps the oil trickle down so that when you open and squeeze too much oil doesn't trickle out. There still may be a little dribble of oil when you squeeze the tube, but it helps. I also try to keep the tube stored standing with cap at the top (you'll have to lean it against something). Standing the tube on its cap makes even more oil trickle to the opening.

Good tip Trix.

Ditto. I have the regular one, too. Same thing. I will try shaking or massaging the tube a bit.

Yes, this is a common problem often discussed on this board. It definitely separates.

I feel like such a chump for trying this. I tossed my original infinity cream because of the separation and I just wasn't using it. For some reason I thought they would have corrected the issue in a color product. Mine separated very quickly--I didn't feel right returning it because I did sample it in the store and should have known better. Ah well, lesson learned. Hopefully, lol.

I shake my regular Infinity tube and it's fine.

Why not just squeeze it all out into a small plastic container that has a lid then if it separates you can stir it when needed. If it doesn't all come out then I'd take a pair of small scissors and cut off the end without the cap, cut it up one side and scoop the rest out. I'm not familiar with the product so don't know the size of the tube but there must something you could use to scoop any remaining product out into the container, a spoon or something.

I have shaken, squeezed and stirred(not really), stored it with the cap up, stored it in the refrigerator. Maybe these just separate more in warmer environments.
