Yes, because we do not use chemical preservatives but use natural preservatives such as tocopherol and essential oils, they would typically expire after 12 months. Always use care to not allow water to get into the container. Do not take the jar into the shower. Instead, use a clean spoon to scoop one serving at a time into a paper or plastic cup. Our products also do not contain parabens, phthalates, sulfates, silicones.
