OT: Does baby powder expire?

Michelle, I went to Gold Bond's website to see if I could find any info for you on expiration dates and effectivness. I couldn't find out anything. Gold Bond Baby Powder contains Cornstarch, Kaolin, and Zinc Oxide. If anything, I would think it just would lose its effectiveness after so long. I doubt that it would be harmful. I know I used some really old zinc oxide once when I was out in the sun all day, and it worked fine for me. Sorry that I couldn't find out the answer to your question.

I wouldn't use it! That's a loooong time.

I have no idea...but I won't even drink milk on the sell by date! LOL I am not sure about the powder however, I also went to the website. My powder has a date on it. So maybe newer ones do?Summer

I wouldn't use it either. I thought powder was not recommended in case they breathe it.

Fran that recommendation is for small babies.

I can not imagine a baby without using baby powder. It is an essential thing for them. Does baby powder expire, then yes, it does. Because nowadays, some most baby powders consist of cornstarch, which has a short period or life-like, 18 months once you opened. Unopened baby powders are safe, they not expired, but it all depends on your storage process. Ypu can read the details here
