Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Expires — Check the Bottle (≈3 Years)

Yes, it expires. Every cosmetic sold in Australia (and globally) carries a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol (open jar + number: 12M, 24M, 36M) and/or a batch code for manufacture date.

Typical Shelf Life

• Unopened: ~3 years from manufacture (stored cool, dark).
• Opened: PAO usually 12–24 months for this deep-conditioner format.

Where to Look

• Back label / crimp: PAO jar icon (e.g., "12M").
• Bottom of bottle: Batch code (e.g., "9283A" → 2019, day 283, line A). Decode via checkcosmetic.net or checkfresh.com (select "Aussie" / P&G).

Signs It's Gone Bad

• Separation (oil/water layers won't re-emulsify).
• Off smell (rancid, sour).
• Color shift (yellow/brown).
• Mold specks.
• Texture change (gritty, watery).

Safety

Expired conditioner won't poison you, but can cause scalp irritation, poor performance, or microbial growth. When in doubt, toss — $5–$8 replacement isn't worth dermatitis.
