The Expiration Date of Cosmetics
Cosmetics actually have two validity terms that we must pay attention to. The one related to the manufacture date and the one valid from the moment the product is unsealed. We can find the information on the packaging box within an open box symbol, unfortunately the manufactured date is not always written down.
If you have an unopened (sealed) skin care product with an expired date on it and you wonder if you can still use it, the answer is that it depends on the product itself. Usually these products are additionally 1 to 3 years valid. This also depends from a suitable condition how the product was kept and deposited.
The main skin care products expiration date
Face cream and moisturizer – 1-3 years
Facial Sheet Mask – 3 years
Eye cream – 1 year
Cleansers: 2 years
Serums: 9 months to 1 year
Body lotion – between 6 months and 1 year
Soap or liquid soap-1-2 years
Shampoo – up to 3 years
Shower gel-6 months
Suncream – 1 year
However, the sunblocker will not do ”his job” anymore after the official expiration date.It won’t protect you as well once it’s expired, producing various health problems, from premature aging to more serious cancers.
So in fact, from the moment of opening the product it can be valid and safe to use only for a certain period of 3 or 6 months.
