  • Ingredient expiration date?????

    Posted by Newtoformulating on January 17, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    I have a sample of an ingredient from a supplier that expires 4/22/22. If I go ahead and formulate with this ingredient before the expiration date is
    that ok or is my final product no good once we get to the expiration date of the ingredient  or is that expiration date only important if the ingredient remains unused once it reaches the expiration date?  Once I formulate with the ingredient would it be ok to go ahead and send my product off for a stability/self life study? I hope I’m making sense and this question is not confusing. I apologize if it is. Thanks and assistance is appreciated.

    See this post about raw material expiration. It answers your question.
