Just learning this. Definitely went through my collection. Threw out about 10 lotions. This now will help me be less in impulsive buying just because it's a sale.
Having to throw away body care is so disappointing. I actually just went through and tossed a few of mine last night. They were clumpy and watery. I also need to slow down on impulse buying. 😅
This is so helpful! THANK YOU!! I just bought a tube of body cream from a seller on eBay, cotton candy clouds. When I opened the cap it smelled OK I guess, but when I squeezed out the cream it was super yellow and thick and kind crusty. The code on the bottom of the tube is 3093B2B1…which I think means it was produced at the beginning of April 2023.
New here. I was looking for a video that explains how to find put if my BBW products have expired and came across your post. Thank you, thank you for having this information out there for those who really do not know. Please keep educating us occasionally purchasing BBW consumers. 👌🏾😍
Bath & Body mists never expire. Lotions definitely go bad before creams. Yellowing does not mean a cream is bad. Fragrances with vanilla notes tend to yellow. It's just the chemistry.
This was soooo helpful and cute! I was so curious of the body cream vs lotion. I still love my body cream but at least I know my choices. Thank you!!!!
I just got bubble bath bottles for You’re the One - my absolute fave scent - I am sad it’s 2020 and serms fine but I’m probably not going to use it! Thanks for this video!
Hi 👋🏾 just got finished watching your video and you explained exactly what I’ve always wondered 🤗but just to let you know you don’t have to throw away your expired Bbw product you can take it back to the store and exchange it for something else no receipt nessasary!
I’m so glad it was helpful! And yeah this is true. 😆 I don’t know why I never do this. I’m literally always like ew and immediately resort to tossing it in the trash.
I had no idea the creams don’t last as long I have a vanilla Noel cream that’s yellow separated and smells old it’s nasty. I just got a few creams I gotta use them fast lol 😂
Hmm, that’s interesting. I wonder if it’s actually an older mist they put on sale that they were trying to get rid of? I know sometimes I have to double check the dates on some of the things during Semi-Annual Sale because sometimes they mix in a few older items.
Hey 👋🏼I read the code on my body lotion the way you did but if it’s correct it meant that it was made after I bought it which does not make sense , I didn’t use it for a while, but when I used it yesterday it was light pinky coloured, and I used it today again, it was back to white , I bought it about a year and half ago, should I keep using it or should I throw it away?
Hiiii! Oh yeah, that does sound strange. My suggestion is to shake it up and if it doesn’t come out super watery or smelling weird then it should be fine! 😃
Shelf life for candles are three years. You can enter the batch code ( search " batch code bath and body works" on Google ) to see the manufacturer date and from there, do the math. Usually, the batch code is at the middle right of the candle when you upside down the candle. Hopefully, I've been clear.
Do you think if i put my bow creams in the fridge they would last longer? Cuz I got A LOT during sas and some already yellow and I’m so slow when it comes to moisturizers idky
I’ve never tried it, but don’t think it would be the best. I think the temperature in the fridge might actually be too cold and cause the ingredients to separate.
I honestly think they should be fine. VS and Bath and Body works are owned by the same company so I believe the shelf life is about the same. I have some VS lotions and mists that are about that age and they don’t smell or look weird either.
Hi! For the Bath and Body works body care produced before 2012/2013 the bottles were actually shaped differently. That’s going to be the easiest way to know. Definitely vintage looking! Back then, the tops were usually metallic twist off and pour tops. The body mists were not straight up and down cylinders.
Thank you for this video. Now I can go through my older creams and lotions. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🥵🤍🤍 I have the original Tutti Dolci body soufflés in the jars lol I know they gotta go 💆🏽♀️💆🏽♀️
So I found a website actually. If you put the code in it'll tell you when it was made. I just checked mine ang it was made in October. Your s was made 4/16/21
No where can I find any information telling me what the number would be if it was manufactured in 2022??? If it has a 2 first then that means 2012 right? So what would the year 2022? I think I will have to email B&BW because I got something off Amazon that smells horrible and the number is 2241B581. Please if anyone knows, reply.
Yes, it couldn’t hurt to email them. I know a lot of the older lotions and shower gels from 2012 had metallic screw on tops and curvy bottles whereas in 2022 the tops are flip and pour tops. The newer bottles have a more curved rectangle look. If the product is from 2022 with that number it’s only a few months old and should still be bad that fast. Also, for 2022 it would have the updated price sticker showing somewhere from $15.50 and up on lotions, creams, and mists.
Yep 👍🏽 You’ll definitely be able to tell if it’s gone bad or headed downhill. Lotions and creams will be watery or kind of lumpy. The mists will start to have a rancid or alcohol type smell. Most of the body creams never last that long though once opened.

Thank you so much for this video Tishira! Now I know how to tell the expiration date on my products lol, yay!!
Yesss!!!
It’s says they are good for 12 mounts on the bottom of the mist and cream

I have a body mist from 8 years ago it still smells good
I can believe it! I honestly think some of the older scents lasted way longer.
Bath & Body mists never expire. Lotions definitely go bad before creams. Yellowing does not mean a cream is bad. Fragrances with vanilla notes tend to yellow. It's just the chemistry.
This was soooo helpful and cute! I was so curious of the body cream vs lotion. I still love my body cream but at least I know my choices. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed! I also love body creams more, especially for the cooler months. 💗
I just got bubble bath bottles for You’re the One - my absolute fave scent - I am sad it’s 2020 and serms fine but I’m probably not going to use it! Thanks for this video!
This is awesome, thank you! I could never figure out the dates. Who knew the first number is the entire year. lol
Glad to help!
Thank you for the explanation~~!
Glad it was helpful! 🩶

Wow I never knew this!!!
@Telle 🐝 now with the new policy yes 😩
You’re probably the reason they changed the policy. If you didn’t use in 2 years it’s kind of tacky to exchange for something new
Just found your channel and love it. Your videos are fun and informative. You've got such a fantastic attitude and the info is really helpful.
Awww thank you so much! 🥰🤗
Thanks for letting us knew girly
My pleasure!
I had no idea the creams don’t last as long I have a vanilla Noel cream that’s yellow separated and smells old it’s nasty. I just got a few creams I gotta use them fast lol 😂
😭 Omg! Yeah I definitely wish they lasted a bit longer. I started putting on one yesterday and was like wait, this smells a little sour. 😅
Is it safe to use an unopened Bath & Body Works foaming hand soap if it's 9 years old?
I currently have a spray that starts with an 8 it can't be more than a year since I bought it.
Hmm, that’s interesting. I wonder if it’s actually an older mist they put on sale that they were trying to get rid of? I know sometimes I have to double check the dates on some of the things during Semi-Annual Sale because sometimes they mix in a few older items.
I have body cream with 1263 and when shaked it seems liquidy, should i use it or not

Bath and body works into the night body butter lasts for?
So you said the body lotions and the body mist can last up to 5 years? What about the candles?
Shelf life for candles are three years. You can enter the batch code ( search " batch code bath and body works" on Google ) to see the manufacturer date and from there, do the math. Usually, the batch code is at the middle right of the candle when you upside down the candle. Hopefully, I've been clear.
Thanks for sharing.
Of course! No problem 💗
What about mists and hand soaps? I have soo many
Thank you for this video this is really helpful :)
Glad it was helpful! 💕
Do you think if i put my bow creams in the fridge they would last longer? Cuz I got A LOT during sas and some already yellow and I’m so slow when it comes to moisturizers idky
I’ve never tried it, but don’t think it would be the best. I think the temperature in the fridge might actually be too cold and cause the ingredients to separate.
What’s Shelf life VS who uses it more than a years? Cuz I have some of them it’s been 3years but still good
I honestly think they should be fine. VS and Bath and Body works are owned by the same company so I believe the shelf life is about the same. I have some VS lotions and mists that are about that age and they don’t smell or look weird either.
thanks girl @@ItsTishira
@@ItsTishiraI have body creams that are from 2018 but still look and smell great so should I still use them??
How do you know that the digit "1" means 2021 and not 2011?

@@ItsTishira Thanks for the explanation
The # is 1834? 834th day?
Thank you for this video. Now I can go through my older creams and lotions. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🥵🤍🤍 I have the original Tutti Dolci body soufflés in the jars lol I know they gotta go 💆🏽♀️💆🏽♀️
No problem lol 😆 Yeah, it might be that time for those.
How long do butters last?
Hey My body cream code is 1106B5B1 ... What does it mean? Can you tell me when will it expire?
So I found a website actually. If you put the code in it'll tell you when it was made. I just checked mine ang it was made in October. Your s was made 4/16/21
So what's the website?@@biancawilliams748
Thank you so much ❤️
How about the bottle washes ?
The shower gels should last about 3 years from the manufacture date when unopened and stored in a cool, dry place.
Been buying the body lotions lately so i can at least made them last me awhile more
Yes! 🩷 I love the body creams so much, but I’ve started buying more of the lotions these days, too!
I dindt understand how you see the born date 😞
Bought a body cream today from the store and it looks like cottage cheese lol not sure if it's OK
😧 Oh no! That doesn’t sound good. Definitely return it if you haven’t already.
No where can I find any information telling me what the number would be if it was manufactured in 2022??? If it has a 2 first then that means 2012 right? So what would the year 2022? I think I will have to email B&BW because I got something off Amazon that smells horrible and the number is 2241B581. Please if anyone knows, reply.

So I can use it for about 5 years if everything smells right?
Yep 👍🏽 You’ll definitely be able to tell if it’s gone bad or headed downhill. Lotions and creams will be watery or kind of lumpy. The mists will start to have a rancid or alcohol type smell. Most of the body creams never last that long though once opened.
thanks for reply cuz I've got 10 bottles of mists B&Bw and VS definitely need time for use them all @@ItsTishira
Thank you very much for this video, it is very good information🤍
So glad it was helpful!
