Exclamation Does Sunless Solution Expire?

I'm debating if I should buy a gallon or a quart of solution . In the long run, the gallon is cheaper. Does solution expire? If so how long is the shelf life?

Never buy more solution than you can use within 90 days

It just depends how busy you are. Even though it is cheaper if you buy a gallon and wind up not using it and going bad you are losing money. I like to do smaller. I use Photoshoot and it has a shelf life of approx a year but all solutions are different, You will need to check with the manufacturer for their recommendationI like to store my solutions in the fridge ( since I am in florida) to prevent it from going bad.

We buy the gallon jugs and keep in frig. We have quart bottles we transfer to. I was told 8-12 months shelf life and to keep from heat and oxygen.

The shelve life of a good solution should be approximately 9-12 months keeping it in a cool place with minimum light and air exposure. I too keep my gallons in a mini cool frige.

At least 12 months if it is kept from getting hot and is unopened. We have some that is over 2 yrs that is still ok. Mostly the solution we use goes to a green tint if it gets hot or the lid is lefft off of it for a long time. Tip- as long as the green is not Shrek green I will still use it on myself. Usually it is just the cosmedic color that had oxidized. it will go away when you take a shower. I wouldn't spray a paying customer with it though.
