In cosmetics shelf life, expiry dates and PAO signs often lead to consumer misunderstandings. Ultrasun would like to issue a statement on this topic:
Shelf life time
The shelf life of all Ultrasun products is 36 months or more from the date of manufacture (in line with most cosmetic products in general). Ultrasun products can be used with complete safety for at least this time.
Expiry dates and PAO sign
In the EU, products with a shelf life of more than 30 months must be labelled with the PAO (period after opening) symbol, which indicates the period of use after the first opening of the product. The PAO of Ultrasun products is determined by the primary packaging. It is 12 months for tubes and 24 months for airless dispensers. The products must be used within the PAO as well as within the entire shelf life. Cosmetic products with a shelf life of less than 30 months must indicate the expiry date (EXP) on the packaging.
Stains from the organic UV filters in sunscreen are a general problem for the sunscreen industry. They occur regardless of the sunscreen product used (spray, lotion, aerosol) or the brand. The stains are caused by the organic UV filters in the formulas. The oil-soluble UV filters in particular have a yellowish colour, which can adhere to textiles. These filters are however, absolutely necessary, for protection against the entire spectrum of sunlight.
Ultrasun determined in an in-house test that there are fewer yellow discolourations from the high-quality filters that we use than with other filters that we do not use. In addition, our unique lamellar formulations allow us to use fewer UV filters for the same protection, which leads to less discolouration.
Nevertheless, we have prepared the following washing instructions for textiles:
