Every bottle of sun cream, sun tan lotion or sun block has the same symbol printed on the back
With summer upon us, many across the nation are eagerly packing their sun cream in anticipation of their next overseas holiday or perhaps just a sneaky sunbathe in the garden. However, what many fail to realise is that there's a symbol printed on the back of every sun cream bottle.
This symbol typically resembles a slightly open tin, accompanied by two letters and a number indicating the product's expected shelf life and its safety duration. For instance, a sun cream bottle marked '12M' at the back implies it's guaranteed to last for 12 months before it expires and becomes less effective.Some creams may indicate 6M, meaning they're safe for six months, but 12M, signifying 12 months, is most common.
