Hello all! Do I just put the expiration date of the oil with the shortest shelf life? Even if I has Germall Plus? Would you recommend stating "keep in dark cool place"? I assume people will most likely keep it in their purse/ bags to carry with them if they buy a small size so I'm not sure they would sell well in the summer. Do they have to be stored that way?

I've never bought a B & B product with an expiration date on it. And if I'm being really honest, I think I would subconsciously avoid doing so since I'd be afraid I wouldn't use it fast enough.

Probably not helpful feedback but just wanted to share my first reaction. Is this common practice in the homemade B & B industry? (I just make soap).

Lotion bars with no water don't need Germall Plus. I don't put expiration dates on mine as they get used fast enough. I don't store mine in the fridge nor do my customers. I live in the desert with triple digit heat.

Regarding BB's aromas, all aromas do expire, according to my rep from IFF. If I call him for an aroma he always checks the date on the stock before he says yes or no.

Even Estee Lauder lotions have a shelf life and they don't post that! Have you ever found a lip balm in the car and gone ouuhh. Too old!

thanks for the replies guys. I'm not sure what B&B or BB aromas means (read in two different responses) but for the most part I think i understand what you are all saying. As far as expiration dates, i was wondering because on Soapqueen TV she said that her calendulas lip balm lasts 6 months. I wouldn't find it too odd if something DID have an exp date on it because people buy food and that expires so IDK but it sounds like poeple don't put exp dates on solid lotion bars?

The expiration date really depends on your ingredients. Take the ingredient used in it with the shortest shelf life and use that for your expiration date.

B&B = Bath and Body
BB = BrambleBerry, our forum owners http://www.bramblerry.com

Thank you, after I typed that i realized it meant Brambleberry for at least one of the comments but I got confused because it didn't seem like anyone else knew what I was asking so thank you :)

OK, so I don't need germall plus if i dont have water... but i got the kind you can use with oils because I don't want my bar to only have the shelf life of the oils. Like say i wanna make a bunch to store for a fair in a few months. Will they all go bad before I even get there?
