Our formulations are built around advanced peptide and biotechnology actives - ingredients that reward precision over shelf stability.
Below, we've answered the most common questions about shelf life, expiry, and how to check your product, so you can use SumaNurica with full confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the shelf life on my SumaNurica product shorter than some other skincare brands?
Our formulations are built around advanced peptide and biotechnology actives, which are more sensitive to time and environmental exposure than conventional skincare ingredients. To preserve their potency and performance, we manufacture in smaller batches and set a shelf life of approximately 12 months from the date of manufacture. This is normal for high-concentration biotech actives and is not a reflection of product quality or safety.
Is it safe to use a product that's approaching its expiry date?
Yes. All SumaNurica products are safe and effective to use for the full duration of their stated shelf life. An approaching expiry date simply means the product is within its normal window - not that it's compromised in any way.
Where can I find my product's exact expiry date?
The expiry date (or batch code, which we can look up for you) is printed on the base or side of each product. If you can't locate it, contact us at service@sumanurica.com with your order number and we'll confirm it for you.
Some of your products currently have less than 12 months of shelf life remaining - why?
Because our actives are formulated for potency rather than shelf stability, and we manufacture in smaller, fresher batches, remaining shelf life will vary slightly by product and batch. Current shelf life for each product is listed on its product page - please check there for the most accurate, up-to-date figure.
Can I still gift these products?
Yes - all current stock is well within its recommended expiry period. If you're planning to gift a product, we'd simply recommend checking the expiry date printed on the product so your recipient has full visibility, the same as you would with any skincare or wellness product.
Does the promotional pricing mean there's something wrong with the product?
No. Promotional pricing reflects our commitment to offering great value while stock remains well within its recommended shelf life, it isn't a signal of reduced quality or safety.
What if I have a concern about a product I've received?
Please reach out to us directly at service@sumanurica.com. We look at every case individually and will always work with you toward a fair and satisfactory outcome, this applies whether the product is for you, a family member, or a friend.
How long will a product typically last me, and can I introduce products slowly without running into expiry issues?
With regular, consistent use, most SumaNurica products last several months per bottle - see the table below for an approximate usage timeframe by product. If you prefer to introduce new products gradually, which we always recommend for sensitive skin, this generally still leaves comfortable time to use the product well within its shelf life.
