Anyone have any idea how long sunscreen last for?
I bought last year for my newborn but later saw it was only suitable from 6 months +.
Can I use it this year? There is no expiry date on it.

are you sure there's no expiration date... that's weird. Check the bottom or top of the tube, sometimes its imprinted (kind of stamped on) and its not visible unless you look closely.

Alot of times the company puts a code on the bottle that indicates when they manufactured it. If you call the co. and tell them the code they will tell you when they made it and what it shelf life is. but you also have to figure out how long it sat in the store for. I think they can last 2-3 years.
