This represents the product’s “Period After Opening” (PAO). The number corresponds to the period of time (in months) the product should be kept and used after opening. The removal of the expiration date from our packaging is not the result of any change in the formulation of our products; rather it is out of recognition that such dates do not signal the end to the efficacy of our products. SheaMoisture removed expiration dates except for products with drug facts:• Indian Hemp Inflammation Therapy• ABS Eczema Therapy• ABS Eczema Body Wash• ABS Eczema Body Lotion• ABS Dandruff Control Shampoo• ABS Dandruff Control Conditioner• ABS Dandruff Control Masque• ABS Dandruff ElixirNubian Heritage products still have expiration dates.

When using a product past its printed expiration date, we recommend checking for any unusual scents or discoloring, and to do a patch test for any signs of irritation. The products are fine to use after the expiration date and we are actually removing those dates from our products because such dates do not signal the end to the efficacy of our products.
