How long does suncream last?

[scoobysoo]

I have some 7 month old suncream, which was opened but not all used. Will it still be okay to use now?

[redcrx]

most cosmetics have a little symbol on them stating how low long they will keep once opened.

Its a pic of a little pot with a lid off and will say how many months its ok.

It should be fine but just keep topping it up more often than if it was new, just in case.

redcrx - you have just solved 2 mysteries in one there!!! I always wondered what that symbol meant, and thought it might mean "X Measures"!

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

Bathsheba, I used Nivea Sunkissed skin and it worked in one application. I tested it on my legs and by the following morning they were looking tanned. I tested it back in early March and only used it once so it has washed off since but I was surprised it worked on one application.
