We recommend you to store it in the fridge, too, where it keeps fresh at least for 3 months (if unopened, it keeps for a couple of months more), while it keeps about 6 weeks at room temperature. On average, by the time a C-Glow reaches our customers it is about 2-3 weeks “old”.

The official shelf life of C-Glow is 6 months from production, unopened and stored in the fridge.

The disadvantage of pure Vitamin C is that it is super unstable, and hard to formulate with.
