Why are the expiration dates on only some Colorescience products?Updated 5 months ago

The FDA has established requirements for all over-the-counter drug products (sunscreens) to go through stability testing to assure products are stable and have appropriate expiry dating. All products with less than 3 years real time stability testing must include an expiry date on their packaging per federal regulations. After the product passes 3 year real time stability testing then a company has the choice to no longer include an expiry date as the testing supports stability for at least 3 years.

Some Colorescience® products are currently in stability testing and therefore are still required to have an expiry date until the 3 year mark is surpassed and products pass all stability requirements. Current products listing expiry date:

  1. All Calm® Clinical Redness Corrector SPF 50
  2. Sunforgettable® Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50
  3. Total Protection® No-Show Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
  4. Peptide Lip Shine SPF 30
