I don't know, I am in Ohio. It is pretty thick so I would assume a couple of seasons minimum.

Depends on climate, here in Hawaii it last for good two weeks. California, almost twice as long.

We have had ours for about 7-8 months... used every day and still running strong. It is LED so it should last for years ... works great too

There's actually no longer a shelf life listed. It was initially 3 years, then 5 years, and now Vestergaard of Switzerland (the manufacturer) has removed the notice completely. They were designed for use in African countries where the constant hot sun degrades any plastic, and the shelf life notice was created in case some users left them outside for years in the sun. Turns out it wasn't much of an issue to worry about, so the shelf life notice has been lifted. You can use it, store it, and use it again without problem. Just be sure it's totally dry inside before storing - in fact you can store it uncapped to be sure.

Depends on the location if it is in a high desert area with the sun beaming on it all day than 1-2 years approx. if it is an area where the shade is more readily available than 2-4 years approx.

I am in Arizona ... where the humidity is low. It usually lasts about 10-12 hours. I fill it up twice a day if I'm running it 24/7.

My fountain is left outside year round. I have yet to notice any wear. However, I do live in San Diego, CA.Its been great.

Put it in the sun for an hour or two. It is supposed to last two years this way.

I live in Az too and wonder about this. I bought the Mistymate system from Amazon last year and the plastic heads started blowing out after 3 months of desert sun. Now the whole thing is worthless.

It lasts as long for as long as you can keep the light blue part wet. So at the theme park, you can run it under water at a water fountain or sink after a few hours of wearing it, or how ever often you wish. Mine needed rewetting after a few hours during recent hteat wave with lots of humidity.

Great question. I don't have a definitive answer for you but I can say that me has been on for over a year and under constant Texas sun and only faded slightly. I figured for the price if it lasts 2 years in our climate I would be doing great. Looks like it is going to last much longer than that.

looks like it does; we bought it last summer and there's an expiration date of 2015 so figure it's good for two years (or more?) ... it's just great to have the large pump bottle in the bathroom ... i have probably a dozen tubes of sunscreen as well that live in tote bags etc but for putting it on before leaving the home, it's great!

The longest I have kept a gallon is a year. I pumped it into smaller dispenser. It did not separate or break down. I love this lotion.

I didn't put this brand outside, but I did put an interior light in a non sealed outside fixture. Lasted 4ish months before it got water inside.

Depends totally on the humidity and temperature. We live in Corona, CA, so we waited 24 hours. Seemed to perfectly fine, and held it's color for over five years.

Rocky Mountain Sunscreen lists a three-year effective life, and while it is safe to use past its expiration date, it does lose some effectiveness. I hope this helps.
