What is my Organic Hand & Body Lotion's shelf life?Updated a year ago

Our Organic Hand & Body Lotion has a 3-year shelf life from the date of manufacture. 

Rather than have a best-by-date, we have the manufacture date represented by a lot code located on the bottle right below the bottom of the label. 

The first two numbers of the code represent the manufacture year (ex: 20 = 2020, 21 = 2021). The following 3 digits represent the day of the year that the lotion is manufactured (ex: 20241 = August 29, 2020). 

There are two different formats our Lotion lot codes are listed: 4- or 5-digit codes.

In 4-digit codes, the first number of the code represents the manufacture year (ex: 0 = 2020). 

In 5-digit codes, the first two numbers represent the manufacture year (ex: 20 = 2020, 21 = 2021). 

The following 3 digits (for both formats) represent the day of the year that the lotion is manufactured (ex: 20095 = April 5, 2020).
