Here it is for Zaino:

Q: What is the usable shelf life of Zaino products?

A: A 70° room temperature is best for the longevity of Zaino products. Due to the optical additives used, extreme heat or cold can result in a decrease in gloss-enhancing properties.

When stored at average room temperature between 65° and 75° degrees, shelf life is as follows:

Z-PC 3+ years
Z-AIO 3+ years
Z-CS 5+ years
Z-1 For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-2 For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-3 For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-5 For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-6 5+ years
Z-7 5+ years
Z-8 5+ years
Z-9 5+ years
Z-10 For optimum results, use before 2 years.
Z-12 For optimum results, use before 2 years.
Z-14 For optimum results, use before 2 years.
Z-16 3 to 5 years
Z-18 5 years +
ZFX For optimum results, keep tightly capped, avoiding moisture. Use before 24 months.

Many items, such as Menzerna, have the "expiration date" printed somewhere on the bottle, usually on the bottom.

That's not the expiration date, that's the date the batch was produced, like a "born on date". Menzerna has to include this on all of their production runs since they are ISO 9001 certified.

Thanks for the correction George.

So what is the lifetime for Menzerna products?

Thanks for the clarification, George.

As for myself, I've never cared about shelf life. I've used a 10 yr old bottle of Megs #26 and it still looked as good as new. That bottle was stored in room temperature, and never dried out...which I think is the key.

I guess I should post that comment somewhere on the Megs forums, lol. The 10 yr viability test j/k. Dang, time flies.

Now that I've purchased all these new products from George, I guess I will get the chance to do a 20 yr test in the future j/k
