The FDA requires sunscreens to maintain optimal effectiveness for 3 years (unopened), or until the stamped expiration date, whichever is sooner. Some products are affected more by heat, so should be properly stored.

Some products indicate a longer shelf life on their labels (Banana Boat lists a shelf life of 6 years).
