I have had a bottle of BBR for a while now, and I remember it being very think all the time...I rememeber people saying that it was a thick lotion..

I just used some the other day, and the lotion became less thick than it has been....

Is the the DHA breaking down in the lotion?
Is it alright to still use it?
Will it not work as well?

Thanks

Melty

Has it been in the heat?
Does it smell the same? Is the color the same?
How long have you had it?
Maybe you should pitch it.. just to be safe..

It smells the same, its been in the 90' heat all summer, and its the same color....

I think I had it for about a year...

??? patch test it on the inside of your arm..if you do not have a reaction it should be ok.. but I am still leaning towards pitch it..
Call CT on the 1800 number and see what they say..

Heat lower the viscosity (thickness) of any liquid substance. Think about honey or motor oil. They move very slowly and are super-thick in cold and room temperatures but when they are heated they become thinner are they move around more easily.

I've read posts saying that runny lotions have lost their effectiveness, but I've never read an explanation as to WHY this is so.

I think that it is because the heat can disrupt the properties and change the mixture..

We have seen people use "old lotions" and get very very bad white blotchey spots.. and those take a long time before you can get them to stop and go away..

When in doubt.. rule of thumb is pitch it..
You wouldn't eat old or heat tampered food would you..it may cause you to have a bad reaction.. (unless it was old wine.. and then you may have a very goooood reaction )
It is better to be safe than sorry me thinks.. But remember I am picky picky..things need to be just so for me... ( I throw away things people would never think of pitching)... Like I said better safe than sorry..
If you are still in question Melty..
Call CT at 1-800-SUNCARE they'll let you know for sure..
njchica...thanks for the "science" behind the question of why it gets runny... we always enjoy knowing why something happends........

Happy Sunday Morning Everyone..

You should never ever leave your lotions in the car or hot sun. Overheating and Freezing in the car can cause them to "breakdown" and be less effective.

Protect your investment and your skin.
