What everyone here already properly stated: toss it. Once closed with its screw lid it will be perfectly fine on your shelf.
I tossed the plastic cover and then put the cream in a small bowl. I nuked it in the micro wave for a minute or so to make it fit (melt). I hoped I haven't ruined it. The Lime smell seems to have dissipated quite a bit.
You probably vaporized the Lime essential oils, which I assume are the basis of the scent. Pity; that's what I like the most about this cream. It does work well, so use it if it seems to be working well for you.
That lime scent is VERY strong.
I was just commenting on the normal scent strength. I did see the part already and microwaving a cream was already noted as being a rather risky move.Not if the OP nukes the cream in a microwave! See his post that I quoted above.
If you travel by plane or even by car your tub of shaving cream may end up in any position and the shaving cream will get stuck to the outer lid. It is easier to scrape off the clear plastic inner lid back into the tub.... just sayin'
