Really, it loses it's ability to protect. Get a fresh batch.

Hmmm, I've had the same stuff for 2+ years and it works great. Got a
link to any articles on the subject Jim?

Same here. Last year I used stuff that was at least that old and it worked
fine.

Nope, believe it or not, I didn't hear about that on the internet! g

Really, a couple years ago, we went to the beach, and a couple people in my
extended family used the same bottle of SPF 50, (I think) and then went on
with the day, (re-applying repeatably as recommended), and got absolutely
fried. Everyone else in the family that used different stuff was fine.

Soon after we got back, we saw that sunblock can go bad after a year, on the
news or newspaper.

We don't take chances on it, after that experience. Perhaps it is only a
problem with high SPF stuff, or some brands, or how hot it gets where it is
stored, or whatever. Throwing out a $3.00 bottle of sunblock is much better
than spending several days in pain (and the additional risk of skin cancer)
because you are too cheap to buy fresh stock every year.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'll bet if you do some goggling,
you will find supporting info on this.

Well, there's your trouble, Jim -- you've gotta buy the real $9
stuff! That $3 Chinese knock-off (made with spent plutonium, or
sawdust, like their "bread") just doesn't last...

Have you worked the event in past years?

Do you see a marked increase in traffic, coming through Green Bay, around
Oshkosh time?
