What is my Organic Sugar Soap's shelf life?Updated a year ago

Our Organic Sugar Soap 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 right below the bottom of the label, on the bottle. 

There are three different formats our Sugar Soap lot codes are listed:

1. Two groups of numbers separated by a dash (ex: 2113312 - 20095)
2. Two groups of numbers separated by a space (ex: 20095 8567)
3. One large group of numbers (ex: 210952113312)

In the first format, the first two numbers of the second group of numbers represent the manufacture year (ex: 20 = 2020). 

In the second and third formats, the first two numbers represent the manufacture year (ex: 20 = 2020, 21 = 2021). 

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

To decode your manufacture date quickly, reference our Julian Date Calendars.
