Opinions vary, but sunscreen should be good for up to at least a year before it starts to lose effectiveness. Some say that it can be up to 3 years before it starts to lose effectiveness. Some sunscreens will even come with an expiration date on the bottle. In general, you should be safe buying some this summer for a trip in January. If you have specific concerns relating to skin conditions or interactions with medications you're taking, you should consult with your doctor.

Good morning jlp651.

What is the shelf life of suntan lotion...is this something that I could buy this summer for our trip in Jan???

If I were to guess at the levels of effectiveness over time, one year would be the maximum. You could always wait until your arrival in Florida and purchase some lotion on route to the ship...
