Default DC Lotions going bad

Has anyone had any of the Devoted Creations lotions "go bad"? We have a few that have lost their scent and several of our Trinity packets are green? The oldest shelf life might be 4 months. I usually don't reorder until we are out or are down to 1 or 2 bottles.
Last fall, I had an entire shipment of Savior arrive that was bad. Lumpy, no scent and different bottles. Those were taken back (thrown out & reshipped) because it was a new shipment.

It kind of goes back to the shelf life post. If they are good for 18 months . . . .. .
* When were they made?
* How long were they sitting at the warehouse before being shipped out?

MyMyst cartridges all have the born on date and you know how old the product is to keep them separated and current.

any ideas?

What disty are you getting it from? They may not be selling tons of DC and it sits in their warehouse for a year before they ship it out to you.

It happens sometimes.

Just remember, that the 18months is not stamped in concrete....it can go another 6months after that date with nothing to happen to it.

Heck, your medication can go up to 6 months past expiration and be fine.

Same happened with Praise for me....

Same also happened with Omega 3 from Fiji......chunky, crusty.....

Did your Disty return/replace for you? These I got from Heartland & CTS. CTS is also where my bad Savior came from.

My distributor replaces anything that is bad....for sure....why wouldn't he. If they don't, then you should find a new disty. How can you buy product that is bad and expect to sell it or throw it out at your own expense.

I don't use $100 bills to wipe my ass.....so why would i throw out lotion that went bad in only a few months at my expense. It wasn't your fault.

Don't get it from CTS. They're not selling DC-at least not the new stuff-so what you're getting is most likely old. That's where the bad Tryst I sold came from.

You can get Skin Science from
* Felicia @ Four Seasons

They are the only ones that I have found to carry it.

Good luck!

I must have missed your original posts. My fault or brain error.
CTS has told me for the past year that they were the leading supplier of Devoted Creations. Very interesting that they aren't authorized and it explains my old product and why some came in different bottle types w/same packaging.

Yep,
I was told a bunch of stuff that ended up not being exactly truthful. Too bad.
