I see that the lip balms don't have any preservatives, and I love it. But I was wondering what their shelf life is?

Thank you for your interest in our product. Our all natural lip balm has a 1 year shelf life. To be quite honest we have products at home that are probably 2-3 years old and still good. As long as they are not exposed to extreme conditions, they could last several years.

I suspect we were sent knock-offs because ours came without any dating on them at all. It's fine that the listing at Amazon says they're good for a shelf life of 8-10 years, but that's only useful if there's a date on the package ... our has none, so who knows?

my daughter uses this and loves it..however i don't... you are right about experation dates...shampoos, lotions, etc. if they are derived of natural ingredients..they do have a shelf life..they use mineral oil and i'm not certain if that keeps it active..but i've used some i had bought new to try again much later than when i purchased and it made my eyes extremely itchy...and no, i didn't apply close to my eyes...i went back to origins...(which also has a shelf life...)but i love the results...good luck to you, (i have combinations skin) good luck to you:)

When I called Katadyn with the same question, I was told that as long as the packaging was intact and no moisture was getting to the tablet, the product was viable for a really long time. Considering how well those tablets are sealed, I concluded that I didn't need to worry about shelf life. Also, a tablet can get crushed in the packet and still be fine.

I can confirm the previous comment, there is no expiration on the bottle. I have had a few bottles I stockpiled and used them a few years later. I am not eating it, so I am not too concerned...still smells the same and my skins still feels soft and healthy.

It depends on how much lotion you are making, and what/who you are making it for. These ingredients can last a few months fresh together without a preservative. I put all my essential oils in the refrigerator and any lotions that I want to make will go there as well. This is the only preservative I care and do use, (coolness to keep fresh) if your making it for others, just inform them of the same method and time frame. I would never make any lotions/creams to last for months and months. Its to easy and also convenient to make it in smaller batches for freshness, by yourself. Keep it in a tightly closed jar. I just purchased the Bormioli Rocco 1/2 Liter #19 flip top jars and can rest assured my lotion will be kept fresh. (looks nice too) If these oils you mentioned in your recipe separate while refrigerated, just re blend it. (blender, mixer) oils do tend to do that when mixed with water. I bought these Ancient Minerals to do exactly what you are doing, but Im using Beeswax pastilles and Shea butter for hydration. I love the coconut oil, use it on my face every day, but it can dry my face out with continued use, so must take a break. hope this helped.

There is no expiration date but I assume that, like many beauty products, it has it's longevity limits. I can use one container of moisturizer for up to 8 months and it's like new.

To be honest their all the same so I couldn't say I bought them cuz I was tired of the stick lip balm & these Flavors are better then all the other Lip Balms!! Not sure if that answers your question although I haven't received any chapped or hurt lips through the purchase of these!!

I have had and have a ten Oz. jar of bag balm over four years. In that time it has never lost it's potency or consistency . As far as I can tell it lasts a long time and I don't know when it expires I just use it till it runs out. As a matter of fact I'm still using the same jar of bag balm, it's almost finished now and that is why I ordered replacement.

There is a a expiration on each box, when Ordered the shelf life was 6-8 months. I found as long as it stayed sealed the product stayed fresh. My son loves them, good substitute!

You get 3 to 5 lip balms for $14.99 depending on the distributor. Hope this helps

Please let me know when you get an actual answer to the question "What is the shelf life of this?" Doesn't someone out there SEE ACTUAL DATE on one package and share when they received the order so we can extrapolate from FACTS? Thanks....

To the best of my knowledge those are the manufacture dates. On my Korean items I have received from actually companies the intructions normally clarify this topic. However I can't find experation dates on many of them, others have the exp dates engraved on edge or on a sticker. But with these masks I would think 2 yrs from manufacturing. I have totally used ones that are a year old and they are just as good as ones that are 6 months old! Most beauty products have a few year shelf life, specially unopened. Don't believe me, go through your beauty drawer! But I have read in many places these are the manufacture dates.

I'm not a seller, but a customer like you. That being said, I have used these products for a few years and have never had any problem with shelf life.

I have bought new sealed ones that were dried out, so I don't think the shelf life is very long. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I own a tanning salon and purchase my lotions directly from Heartland Tanning, a distributor. The lotions we purchase do not have expiration dates on them. If someone tells you otherwise they

Generally there aren't any ingredients in beauty products that spoil, only lose their efficacy as they age. It is likely completely safe to use it beyond its expiration date.
