Sunblock Expiration Dates

[isasir]

So I picked up some sunblock at a gas station store the other day, cuz it was a last-minute decision. I believe it was Banana Boat sunblock. The only thing is, it didn't list an expiration date (at least none that I saw.) From what I've heard tho', exp. dates do actually mean something with sunblock. Should I go ahead and buy sunblock with an exp. date, or is this stuff probably still good? Bear in mind this was bought at a gas station, so it could've been there for awhile.

I would imagine it'll be better than no protection but not as good as rated. Thus, up to you how much sun exposure you want to get while wearing it.

As long as you don't eat it you should be fine. Nothing tastes worse than expired sunscreen.

Hmm... I think it tastes kinda good.
