Does Zinc skin protection expire?
Zinc skin protection does not technically expire because zinc oxide, the main ingredient, does not lose its ability to protect your skin over time. However if your tin of Yallingup Zinc changes in colour, smell, or consistency, it may be a sign that the ingredients have become unstable and are no longer optimal for further use.
Most mineral skin protection creams and lotions can last up to 24 months if stored in a cool, shaded place. However, it's recommended to get a new tin if the odour has changed, the consistency has changed, you have had it for over a year and a half, or you are almost out.
Are your products cruelty-free?
Our products are cruelty free and never tested on animals.
