Set the Record Straight on Shelf Life for WEN

[ Edited ]

Okay, here goes... I am hearing a lot of feedback of the 2 year shelf life on WEN CC's.  According to the bottle, it states 2 years....NOT from when you opened, but 2 years... that to me means 2 years from time it was made... I notice there is not an expiration date on the bottles.  I think the best way to find out is to hear it staight from DOOTERS or calling WEN directly or from CHAZ himself......so if anyone has had any feedback from the following, can you let us know...my supply is getting huge and I think the best thing to do is start dating the bottles!!  This is for us hoarders!!

yes that is the consensus two year shelf life but the other consensus is - I still have stuff from 2011 and 2012 that I recently just opened and they are just fine.

 

and yes you can call CS to confirm.

I don't know what the official policy is but I find it's still good until it turns funky.haha Seriously I'm working on a POM gallon that's at least a couple years old. The formula is fine, no discoloration or weird smell. The only issue I ever run into is the pump clogs, but you can always clean them with hot water or just use a new pump...they're really nice about sending rep

I had a bottle that wa several years old in the back of my closet that I had forgotten about. You definitely know when it goes bad because it turns to water.

This has been extensively talked about. The date is from opening, we even went back and fowards on what constituted " opening" on unsealed items. Search through the forum, there is plenty there.

I agree with @untitled , I just opened some WVM from 2012 and it works just like it did when I first purchased it.  The only difference I notice with the really old product like that is the fragrance tends to fade faster after it's opened than the newer bottles.  Smells the same when first opened, though.

I e-mailed Chaz's customer service about this before and they said it was two years from opening.
