What is the expiration date of certified organic cosmetics?

Unlike other common household products, cosmetics do not necessarily have an expiration date.

If they have a shelf life of less than 30 months, the expiration date is indicated on the packaging as stipulated in Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 (EC). Such is the case of our self-tanning products. 

However, if their shelf life exceeds 30 months, the duration for which the product is safe to use after opening is indicated, referred to as the PAO (Period After Opening).

At Laboratoires de Biarritz, in addition to standardized tests to validate stability, we follow the evolution of our products for at least 4 years in real-life conditions. Furthermore, we stock a substantial sample of all our productions for at least 10 years.

Finally, some products do not require any indication of this type, as they are single-use or do not degrade. If you have any doubts, you can contact us for verification of our stored samples.
