Dumb question du jour (bath products)

Do baby bath products (body wash, shampoo, lotion) ever go bad? We got so much of it as shower gifts/it was on sale/etc that I think this kid is set until she goes to kindergarten.

How long would you let it sit around before you chuck it?

Look what you did you little jerk!

    Well, if you're anything like my mom and keep things like half-empty bottles of Avon body lotion circa 1994...yes, they will eventually go bad. But you're better than that.

    I tend go by look and smell. If the colour has changed or the smell is off, then I don't use it. Otherwise, all good. If you hold on to things long enough, they'll turn eventually but they usually keep a really long time.

    They expire after opening. There is a little open container symbol on the bottom of the rear label that has a number like 6m 12m or 24m. That tells you how many months it's good after opening.
    Those dates aren't about safety. They're about best smell and effectiveness. 10-year-old soap might not work well or smell good, but it will almost never be dangerous or even irritating.

    I just today purchased my first bottle of baby shampoo/body wash in 4 years. Just ran out, as it was a very popular shower gift.
